LOS ANGELES — Ed McMahon, former sidekick to Johnny Carson on "The Tonight Show" and a familiar TV ad pitchman, has been hospitalized in intensive care, a spokesman said yesterday.

McMahon, 85, is suffering from pneumonia and other ailments and has been in the hospital for several weeks, a spokesman said. He would not identify the Los Angeles facility or the other illnesses.

McMahon's wife and family are with him and appreciate the public expressions of concern, the spokesman said.

McMahon, who broke his neck in a fall in 2007, faced foreclosure on his home last year because, he said, the injury left him unable to work. But a deal was announced in December that would allow him to stay in the house.
