Trump Buys Ed McMahon's House, Will Allow Him to Live There

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Donald Trump will soon be Ed McMahon's landlord. Trump announced Thursday he would save the television personality's Beverly Hills mansion from foreclosure by buying it for an undisclosed amount and leasing it to McMahon.

The developer told the Los Angeles Times he doesn't know McMahon personally, but acted out of compassion because helping out "would be an honor."

McMahon, 85, who was Johnny Carson's sidekick on the "Tonight" show for three decades, has not worked for about 18 months because of a neck injury. He defaulted on $4.8 million in mortgage loans with Countrywide Financial Corp.

Most people just move into a place they can afford.

Ed's 85.  The Donald is probably guessing he won't be around much longer.

Of course we don't know what the lease payment will be but at 85 you have to wonder if Ed will be getting back to work to make it.

I suspect the Donald got a pretty good deal.  All the same, nice of him to help Ed.

My fellow Americans, there is nothing audacious about hope. Hope is what makes people buy lottery tickets instead of paying the bills. Hope is for the old gals feeding the slots in Atlantic City. It destroys the inner-city kid who quits school because he hopes he'll be a world-famous recording artist.

What's the difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama?

One is a well turned-out, good-looking, and let's be honest, pretty sexy piece of eye-candy.

The other kills her own food.

It's a bet that Don can't lose!

Maybe the story will end up on an episode of "flip that house"
