PaHunk, I've seen his house on "Realtor.com" for quite a while now.
I think it's overpriced.
I wouldn't be willing to pay an extra $2m because a celebrity lived in the house before me.

The guy who was Johnny Carson's second banana for so many years has his house in foreclosure? Good Lord..i guess some P/pl are just financially self-destructive.

Here's a wiki on him:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_McMahon

I was surprised to learn he was a Colonel. And when you look at his string of presumed successes, it's hard to see where the money went such that he is now in foreclosure. Imagine being paid to sit next to someone for 30 years and laugh at their jokes!

Is the foreclosure because his insurance doesn't cover his recent injuries well enough? I think we may have missing puzzle pieces here.

When you are 85 there are not a whole lot of gigs you can get. Ed McMan is so recognizable that he can't even take a part as an extra in a movie for money. I suspect that his income from the Johnny Carson Tonight Show was no where near what Jay Leno and guests are getting or even what JC himself got. Salary levels just weren't that high when he started out and the increases were incremental even with an agressive agent who would have taken 10-20%. Add in the other parasites that movie and tv personalities have to have, accountants, bodyguards, etc and you are supporting a small horde on your salary, and that is not counting your family, home, utilities, health insurance that he has to cover himself since he doesn't work for a studio, etc. I suspect that broken neck wasn't cheap, medically, or with physical therapy and after care.

So anyone want to guess what the insurance and property tax bill is on a house with a 4.8 million dollar mortgage? I don't even want to think about it. Especially in earthquake, mudslide, fire territory.

Sigh..I am hoping that he will be able to pull out of this, but like a lot of Americans especially the elderly, that circle around the drain is growing stronger every day...many are being pulled under no matter what they try to do to fix the problem.

poenkitten (who knows if McMan is getting Social Security the max he can pull is less than 3K a month, he HAS to work to survive)
