Ed McMahon Fights Foreclosure on His Beverly Hills Mansion

Television icon, Ed McMahon, is fighting to keep his multi-million dollar home.

Since breaking his neck well over a year ago he hasn’t been able to work, causing him to get behind in mortgage payments.

McMahon, 85, best known for being Johnny Carson’s sidekick and spokesperson for American Family Publishers’, was a whopping $644,000 behind in payments when a default notice was filed with the Los Angeles County Recorder’s Office back in February.

McMahon’s spokesman, Howard Bragman said, “There are plenty of people affected by the weak economy, bad housing market or bad healt.”

He adds that McMahon has been discussing options with the lender but is not sure what the outcome will be at this point. The home is worth over $6 million and has been on the market over two years. Apparently it’s not far from Britney Spears’ pad, which doesn’t help, due to the paps infecting the area.

Poor Ed! To be 85, recovering from a broken neck and then to possibly lose your home. Nobody deserves that. Especially at 85!

Although I have to admit, I find it bizarre for someone who has been in Hollywood for as long as he has, to not be able to take work off for a year and still be able to live?

Regardless, I wish the best for he and his wife Pamela.
