Is your credit score whack? Then heed a little advice from the newest verbal gunslinger...Ed McMahon, who may lose his Beverly Hills home to foreclosure, is appearing online in a series of ads for Freecreditreport.com. McMahon, best known for co-hosting Johnny Carson’s “Tonight Show”, has taken up rapping to earn money that will help him and his wife keep their Beverly Hills home.
In the video below, he drives around Los Angeles asking for money from people he previously gave checks to as part of the Publishers Clearing House. (Note: The people are actors, not the real winners in the video)
McMahon said he hopes to help people by sharing his experience. His foreclosure battle did not force him out of retirement … he was never retired. Freecreditreoport.com is paying McMahon for the ads, but the company declined to disclose the amount.
“I have been working. I broke my neck a year-and-a-half ago,” he said. “It took three operations to get that fixed. I have no plans to ever retire. We made a lot of mistakes,” McMahon said. “The ultimate responsibility is ours.”

Videos and Lyrics to McMahon’s raps”:
“Big Check”
Shout out to my people this is Ed McMahon
Rolling slow through the suburbs in an unmarked van
I ran the strip in the eighties
Brought big fat checks to the ladies
When I showed up at their door
They would start screaming like crazy
Raked it in hand over fist was on the VIP list
I was a verbal gunslinger and my shots never missed
But now the bills have come due
And my credit score's whack
So I'm hitting up the winners to get my checks back
“McGansta”
Those crazy kids are right I've got a similar story
When I retired I was famous I had money and glory
Bought a house for six mill I thought that nothing could touch me
Until my credit went south and debts started to crush me
Next thing I know instead of playing gin rummy
I was scrambling just to make ends meet it wasn't funny
Got a bump from the media chumps but that was temporary
Life with bad credit was scary, so I got...
Wise! I may have fallen but I got back up
Now I'm back on attack like a ninja swingin' nunchucks
I told the haters: Go on, take a hike!
It's my show now and I can do what I like
F to the R please people I know how to spell it
I hit their website up and now I'm here to tell it
Ed to the Mac to the Mahon with the plan
To go and get my Mac-mojo back again...
