Greatest Sidekick of All Time

Greatest sidekick of all time? According to Entertainment Weekly, in the issue hitting newsstands Monday, it's Johnny Carson's longtime couch-warmer, Ed McMahon. The magazine picked what it deemed an all-time top-50 of second bananas.

Want to guess?

Rounding out the top five, in order: Robin (Batman's boy wonder),
Jerry Seinfeld's pal George Costanza, Han Solo's buddy Chewbacca and Lucy Ricardo's partner-in-crime and sometimes slime, Ethel Mertz.

We'll give you one more guess. No. 6?

Elementary, dear reader: Dr. Watson, Sherlock Holmes' faithful companion. Speaking of which, Tonto, Lone Ranger's riding buddy, is, somehow, not on the list.

A few others who did make the list: The diminutive Tattoo, of "Fantasy Island" fame (No. 9); Howard Stern's second-in-command, Robin Quivers (13); Napoleon Dynamite's best bud, Pedro Sanchez (22) and
Art Garfunkel, of Simon &... (25).
