Ed McMahon Breaks His Neck
ED McMahon, beloved sidekick to Johnny Carson, is recovering from a mystery fall down a flight of stairs that left him with a broken neck. Ed, who many thought was dead, has undergone two operations to repair his neck following a fall in March that he doesn't remember. The 85-year-old says, "It's been a tough year, but I'm working hard in rehab and doing the best I can to get through it," McMahon was recently seen confused and disoriented, stumbling around at a public event in a neck brace.
