An Ed McMahon tribute, celebrating his life and his work will be held by NBC on July 1st at the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences in North Hollywood at 6 p.m PST, but it will be an untelevised event and will be by invitation only.

There has been no word about funeral arrangements at this time.

McMahon died early Tuesday at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. Bragman says McMahon had a "multitude of health problems the last few months."

McMahon played second banana to longtime host Johnny Carson on NBC's "Tonight" show from 1962 until Carson retired in 1992.
