I never liked Ed McMahon. Carny hustler...vacuum cleaner salesman...sit-com mentality...butt kisser...over-paid/under-talented...whiner...

And thems his good points.

I once had opportunity to meet him in person.  And a chance to skewer him.

It was one year that NATPE had its annual love fest in San Francisco.

I was stringing/masquerading as a member of the Free Press. (FREE?---Elton John was the entertainment at King World's Banquet.)

Ed was guest host at the Disney Booth. Accompanying him was a larger than life Roger Rabbit.

Booth visitors (usually TV Station Owners) were invited to have their picture taken with Ed and Roger.

Well, free is free is free---and I stood in line for the honor.

When my turn came, I posed with the two celebrities.

CLICK.

I looked at Roger Rabbit, and then I looked at Ed McMahon.

And I blurted out: "Gee, this is just fantastic. The opportunity of my life. To have my picture taken with two of my heros: Roger Rabbit and Bob Hoskins."

Rogers countenance never changed.  Ed's face dropped to the floor.

Hyuk, hyuk, hyuk.

I raced off, with my trophy.
