Johnny Carson's longtime sidekick, Ed McMahon, has been in a hospital for more than a month.

A month? And we are just now hearing about this?

Now TMZ reveals that his condition is "extremely serious. He's in ICU.

Ed is 85 and has bone cancer, other complications and pneumonia. Not a good combo.

Ed's rep, Howard Bragman, has confirmed the TV icon's hospitalization.

He adds, "He's not at Cedars-Sinai."

Bragman was referring to Ed's lawsuit against that hospital for alleged malpractice and elder abuse.

Hang in there, Ed. And don't let them give you any you-know-what.

I volunteer at the hospital where he is and I haven't heard good things.

I think he has one foot on the grave, he might pass on Monday.
