BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - 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 honour."

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.

McMahon's spokesman, Howard Bragman, told The Associated Press that paperwork on the sale had not been completed but that McMahon was "very optimistic" the deal would go through.

"When I was at the Wharton School of Business I'd watch him every night," Trump told the Times. "How could this happen?"

McMahon bought the six-bedroom, five-bathroom, 7,000-square-foot house in January 1990. The home was listed at $4.6 million last weekend - down from a peak price of $7 million.

Thats really generous of Mr. Trump.

So he's his sugar daddy?

that's nice....hope everything works out for the better!

I just read this and was glad. Finally someone did the right thing. This is gossip I can get behind.

I would be more impressed, however if Mr. Trump also opened one of his apartment complexes to help some displaced families of this housing crisis. At least Ed had every opportunity provided to him, but he got snowed by that young poon.

That was a great thing for him to do. It's nice to see Donald's not all spit and venom.

that's nice

i would've had more respect for this action if he would've remained anonymous. but of course he has to make a huge production out of it.

an artist with no fans is really just a man with a hobby....

How in the hell can this house NOT be paid off. McMahon made a substantial amount of money in his career.
