ED MCMAHON'S NEW GIG - RAPPING!

Ed McMahon has a new gig - as a rapper.
The 85-year-old former Tonight Show star will appear in two viral rap videos for FreeCreditReport.com, the Associated Press reports.
In the videos, a tracksuit-clad McMahon gets chauffeured around L.A. in a Cadillac Escalade golf cart and waxes lyrical about his financial woes. (McMahon has been fighting foreclosure on his Beverly Hills mansion after falling $644,000 behind on mortgage payments. He recently agreed to deal with a private buyer.)
In the first video, the former American Family Publishing sweepstakes spokesperson looks for past winners to ask for some money back (but he doesn't actually go through with it).
In a second spot, he dons a new suit after undergoing a financial and emotional makeover.
"When I retired, I was famous," he raps. "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."
After being joined by two scantily clad women, McMahon goes on: "Got a bump from the media chumps, but that was temporary/Wife with bad credit was scary, so I got wise/I may have fallen, but I got back up/Now I'm back on the attack, like a ninja swinging nunchucks/I told the haters, 'Go on, take a hike'/It's my show now, and I can do what I like."
Asked if he would consider releasing a full-length rap album, McMahon told the AP: "Not immediately."
