That's right, ladies and gents, this is not a joke. Not only is Ed McMahon still alive, but he's still agile enough to produce not one, but two rap music videos. McMahon, once notably famous for representing American Publisher's Clearing House as well as hosting "Star Search", is currently pursuing a career in the music industry. Well, not really.
According to this article on CNN.com, McMahon has been approached by FreeCreditReport.com to launch two rap videos. The videos, featuring the 85 year-old McMahon chauffeured around in a Cadillac Escalade golf cart, highlights his financial troubles. The lyrics to one video include: 
"I had money and glory/I bought a house for 6 mill/I thought nothing could touch me/Until my credit went south, and debt started to crunch me/Next thing I know, instead of playing gin rummy, I was scrambling just to make ends meet/It wasn't funny."
The lyrics don't lie, either. McMahon did spend carelessly, and recently fell behind nearly $644,000 on his mortgage payments, but has negotiated his finances with a private buyer.
The lesson? Don't over-spend. Oh, and look for McMahon's videos during commercials; they're set to air soon.
