ED MCMAHON RAPS ABOUT CREDIT WOES

Ed McMahon has an unexpected new job title: rapper.

The 85-year-old former Tonight Show sidekick will star in two viral rap videos for FreeCreditReport.com. The videos feature McMahon wearing a tracksuit, being chauffeured around Los Angeles in a Cadillac Escalade golf cart and waxing lyrical about his very public financial troubles.

Says Ed in a press release: “I knew I could sing the blues, but I didn’t know I could rap.”

The videos will appear online in October.

In the meantime, you can baffle your brains over what you think McMahon’s rapper name would be. MC Geritol? DJ Hip Replacement?

    This man is 85 years old. How many 85 year old men do you know that are still working? Not that many at all. Ed McMahon obviously did not manage his money well.

    Johnny being heartbroken is not the word. We all know Johnny was a straight up bigot who disowned his own son for having a child with a mexican.

    I think this article is racist! While I am sympathetic to Ed McMahon’s finacial woes…a rappper for real?!?! How much more stereotypical are we going to get? This is definitely a step in the wrong direction for FreeCreditReport.com.
