Hey-o!
Ed McMahon made television history on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, and amazingly, he did it by sitting still and commenting infrequently. McMahon provided a constant and giddy audience for Johnny Carson's comedy, often adding a boisterous "Hey-o!" after many of Carson's punchlines.The format of a host and sidekick ushered in other talk show sidekicks, most notably Andy Richter, who did essentially the same job for the first several seasons on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Jeffrey Tambor even played a character much like McMahon on HBO's The Larry Sanders Show, quipping occasionally at the hosts jokes like McMahon did.
