Ed Shaughnessy dies, Longtime Tonight Show drummer Ed Shaughnessy died Friday in his Calabasas, Calif., home of a heart attack, the Los Angeles Times reports. He was 84.
Shaughnessy was a three-decade fixture of Doc Severinsen's Tonight Show Band — in a time in which more of a big-band feel ruled the show. He played drums from 1963 to 1992 in the Johnny Carson era, leaving when Jay Leno stepped in as the show's new host.
Shaughnessy was a 2004 inductee to the Percussive Arts Society Hall of Fame.
