It is amazing how many fake photographs are out there.
Here is one that supposedly proves that Ed McMahon was not the original sidekick on the Tonight Show. First of all The Tonight Show had four incarnations: Steve Allen hosted from 1954-1957- way past bedtime for most of the Class of 1968. The second incarnation was the Jack Paar era . Johnny Carson hosted after Paar, and followed the current Jay Leno.
Sister St. Isabelle never appeared on any episode of any Tonight Show.
By the way Gene Rayburn was Steve's sidekick; Hugh Downs was on the Paar Show; Ed McMahon on the Carson version; and Kevin Eubanks is the sideman for Leno.
As for the reunion, don't forget to send in your reservation or response as soon as possible.
