It's "The Donald" to the rescue.
Mega-developer and TV personality Donald Trump has agreed to buy Ed McMahon's Beverly Hills house for an undisclosed amount and allow McMahon to continue living in it. Details of the deal are still being ironed out.

Maybe Donald can pay my Dental bill for me
I wonder why the house didn’t sell.
The gist of it is that this is a demonstration of how socialism really can work in practice. All McMahon has to do in order to earn this largess is simply to die within 9 months to do his part "for the team."
Hey - yohh !
How humiliating. Poor Ed.
Maybe Mr. Trump is just doing a nice thing. If so, blessings on him.
How long before Ed tires of being a serf on The Donald’s manor and decides to decamp for less posh digs?
I saw Ed McMahon on Larry King Live a few weeks back whining about his situation. He was making no sense whatsoever. Larry of course just let him ramble on. Never asked him “Ed, what the heck? You made money by the bucketful for many years. What did you do with it all and why should anybody feel sorry for you?” Ed just spouted off this “Hey, ‘it’ can happen to anybody, even me” nonsense like his condition was the result of circumstances completely beyond his control. Feh!
He’s gotta kick the golddigger out
By definition he was asking too much.
Sounds like a win-win scenario with the Donald...
question is why is Ed McMahon at 85 and
still carrying a huge mortgage and not
living in some paid off property already?
Not a bad investment for The Donald as he knows that Ed will be Out of the House in a few years.
It’s too late to kick out the dog-hoarding golddigger. It’s amazing that someone who made so much money could end up with (relatively) so little.
Trump has been watching Fox News and got a whiff of the Reverse Mortgage caper that’s advertised over and over . . .
several reasons from what little I’ve heard”
-the big stumbling block, was that the house had a terrible mold problem that was publicized several yrs ago. Though they did extensive work on the home and supposedly took care of it, they couldn’t mitigate the negative publicity.
also
-they were asking too much
-they loved the house and didn’t really want to sell it
What did happen to his money?
"Ed's Mc Van"
"Where will Ed be living in six months?"
