My Take
Ed McMahon defined the art of the great second banana. For decades beside Johnny Carson, he was the warm foundation a comedy show is built on, his booming announcer's voice and 191-centimeter frame setting the room at ease before a single joke landed. A former combat aviator and Air Medal recipient, he carried real grit beneath the affable grin, and yes, a Razzie too, which only humanizes him. What I admire is his generosity: he elevated the star and gladly stood half a step back. That kind of reassuring presence is rarer than any leading role.
