Merv Griffin (sort of) sues Ed McMahon
A company founded by Merv Griffin is suing Ed McMahon for a $100,000 loan it claims has gone unpaid.
The Griffin Group Inc. claims it loaned the money to McMahon in 2005. The company filed the suit last week and states that none of the loan has been repaid.
McMahon’s publicist didn’t directly address the lawsuit, instead asking, “Anybody wanna buy a nice house in The Summit?” The quote is an allusion to McMahon’s hilltop home, which is facing foreclosure. The former pitchman also faces numerous other lawsuits filed on behalf of creditors. Wait: Ed McMahon has a publicist??? So what’s the deal? He had an offer on his house, and he just got a new, cool, job …
Griffin, the longtime talk-show host who created “Jeopardy” and “Wheel of Fortune,” died in 2007. We’ll leave you with this to ponder: WWJD? (That’s Johnny. As in Carson.)

What pending foreclosure?? I thought Trump bought the place and leased it back to McMahon. Did that deal not go through? If it did, there is no pending forecosure.By David Sanchez
