Ed McMahon was the sidekick for Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show. He's like a proto Andy Richter, a proto like all of the sort of talk show sidekicks quote unquote that we think about now. We're book clubbing his diet book called Slimming Down. And if you want t-shirts or stickers or tote bags, we have those on T-public.com.
This week is our first Diet Book Deep Dive, where we dig into some of the worst and wildest weight loss advice we can find. First up: Tonight Show sidekick Ed McMahon's pun, alcohol and misogyny-fueled diet plan from the 1970s. Hope you like broiled steak and Sanka!
