I would have bet my life savings he was.

PCH says he wasnt

Here is a video with TV shows referencing him as the PCH spokesperson. LINK Johnny Carson is presenting a check to letterman at 4 min mark from PCH.

So he didn’t deliver large cardboard checks to people?

Wait. Explain this to me. He was on their commercials and his face was on the mail they sent out right?

I thought he did. My grandmother always tried to win so he would show up with the big check.

Snopes Link I am not sure if believe them or but there is alot of evidence that says he wasnt.

I was too young to associate Ed McMahon with Johnny Carson… so when I was a kid I remembered him as the guy from the Publishers Clearing House commercials.

I always thought there were logical explanations for the Mandela Effect… but wtf.

Son of a bitch. If someone would have said "Ed McMahon was not the spokesperson for PCH I would have argued that he was without even googling because I was that sure he was.

The Simulation operators seem to have scrubbed our Matrix of all proof that Ed delivered giant checks for Publishers Clearinghouse.

Exactly this. I swear I’ve seen the commercials. Next thing you know, someone will try to say Sinbad never played a genie.

Publishers Clearing House (PCH) was a competitor to American Family Publishers that ran similar sweepstakes. The two companies were often mistaken for each other, with Star Search host Ed McMahon and The $25,000 Pyramid host Dick Clark, the spokespeople for AFP, mistaken for representatives of the better-known PCH.[1] PCH remains in business and promotes its products by means of sweepstakes.

This is the one that really gets me. I know for a fact I’m not mistaking a Kazam memory.
