LOS ANGELES - Ed McMahon, who for decades appeared as Johnny Carson's sidekick on "The Tonight Show," is fighting to avoid foreclosure on his multimillion-dollar Beverly Hills home, according to published reports.

The former "Star Search" host was $644,000 behind on payments on $4.8 million in mortgage loans when a unit of Countrywide Financial Corp. filed a default notice Feb. 28 with the Los Angeles County Recorder's Office, The Wall Street Journal first reported late Tuesday.

McMahon, 85, has been unable to work as a pitchman for various products since he broke his neck 18 months ago, said his spokesman, Howard Bragman.

"There are plenty of people affected by the weak economy, bad housing market or bad health," Bragman said.

I suppose this quashes the rumors he and Dick Clark embezzled all that Publisher's Clearing House prize money.

I am sure Ed gave most of his money to the ex-wives; stupid drunken Mick. I saw this in the business section of the LA Times today

He needs to start playing Publisher's Clearinghouse. Pronto.

The house in question:

I would of thought after all these years this idiot would have saved his money cause he's not much of an anything. Shame to lose your house at such an old age. Where will he go back home w/his parents?

Look what I just got!

THAT HOUSE SURE IS AN UGLY MCMAHONSION.

Damn, where's that rimshot smiley when I need it?
