Ed McMahon is home from the hospital.
McMahon, Johnny Carson’s former sidekick, was hospitalized last week after a fall in his Beverly Hills home left him with a mild concussion and a gash in his head that required stitches, his publicist said Monday.
McMahon spent Sunday -- his 82nd birthday -- in the hospital. But now, he says, he’s going to celebrate that birthday ”properly” with a barbecue.
McMahon is best known as Carson’s sidekick on “The Tonight Show.” Carson, who retired in 1992, died Jan. 23 of emphysema at age 79.
McMahon was also co-host with Dick Clark of the “Bloopers” shows and appeared year after year on Jerry Lewis’ Labor Day telethon.
