Donald Trump is going to buy Ed McMahon's house, and let Ed still live in it.
"I don't know the man, but I grew up watching him on TV," Trump said in an exclusive interview with The Times.
McMahon, 85, was facing foreclosure within two weeks on his Beverly Hills home of 18 years. The aging television icon, who was Johnny Carson's sidekick for three decades, defaulted on $4.8 million in mortgage loans with Countrywide Financial Corp. He said in interviews that he was unable to work because of a neck injury that occurred about 18 months ago.
That statement drives me nuts. Blaming a neck injury for not being able to work and that's why you don't have any money. You shouldn't be working anyways!!! You're 85.
The deal with Trump was cemented this past weekend when McMahon's listing agent, Alex Davis of Hilton & Hyland in Beverly Hills, flew to New York to make a personal appeal to Trump. Davis declined comment.
So it looks like it wasn't Trump's idea, but some crafty listing agent.
