I believe the answer is:

eric

(Other definitions for eric that I've seen before include "Ernie's comic partner" , "One of pair once popular" , "- Morecambe, comic" , "..... the Red was Norwegian 10th Century exployer" , "Ancient blood-money; Ernie's partner" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
