That "hiyo" was one of my favorite parts of Ed's opener! Of course, I was just a kid at the time! ;D

He'll always be the number one sidekick. "HIYO!"

RIP Ed.He and Carson were the best ever.Ed had financial problems and i'm sure the stress of all that plus a gold digger wife had something to do with his death.He was a very humble guy.Great voice.

Gold digger wife? Ouch, that's cruel.
Could it be he broke his neck in a fall, lost his home, came down with cancer and was 86!

RIP Ed
