Ghost of Merv Sues Ed

It's just sad. Merv Griffin's company is suing Ed McMahon over a personal loan.
Ed McMahon: Click to view!
Apparently Ed has been having money troubles for a while now. Back in 2005, he needed money and his pal Merv Griffin fronted him $100,000. The first installment was due September, 2005, but so far nothing has been repaid.

The Griffin Group is suing both Ed and his wife, Pamela.

It's the latest in a string of lawsuits against Ed. His publicist, Howard Bragman, just gave us the best response EVER: "Anybody interested in a great house in The Summit?"

31. It always surprises me how so many posters can be so free with others money and assets. As I see it, Ed was at one time a rich man but was foolish about taking care of his money and other assets. He had the gall to ask friends for help and apparently signed paper work as did his wife in agreement with a repayment schedule. Now if it were Joe Blow and his wife that did this, no one would have waited so long to collect and Joe and wife would have been making their payments more then likely. Joe has more responsibility then the so called famous institution Ed McMahon. To those of you that think he needs and deserves help I say, give him half of your incomes and see what thanks you get. The answer is none at all.

33. O.K. people why don't we stop blaming the wife and accept it took both of them to make this mess, I heard from very reliable sources that he has a MAJOR gambling problem I don't think it's a secret.

34. Poor Ed McMahon. I think is young wife has been spending all his money. She's a leech. Too bad his family hasn't stepped in to help protect him from her.

35. Well Mr. (har, har, har, aw Johnny, jonny--har, har, har, awr Johnny) Ed, this ain't no laughing matter; your going to end up in the poor house drinking Ripple out of a brown duro paper sack.

36. Hmmm... Maybe HE should send in HIS sweepstakes form .. You never know. He may alrady be a winner !!!

37. I don't feel sorry for him at all. He is an old man trying to keep a young gold digging wife happy. She clearly married him for his money, then she preceded to spend every single dime. I agree with Princess, he should send in his entry form so he can get 10 million notices in the mail asking "how do you want your money" or "you're almost there, just fill out these forms, paste these stickers, order 20 magazines (even though a purchase is not required, yeah right) and mail today! So many people fooled. So few actual winners. Bite my behind Mr. McMahon!

39. Dear Mr. Ed, My Name is George Hussien Onyango Obama, Barack Obama's Half Brother. I live in a Hut in Hurmyra, Kenya. I need your Bank Account Number and Social Security Number to send you USD$90 Million Dollars that Barack Obama Stole from Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae. All you have to do, Mr. Ed, is keep USD$5 Million and send the USD$85 Million to my Bank in Kenya. This way we keep my half brother Barry out of jail for his theft of money. With No Bail Out. If you want to help Chris Dodd and Barney Frank, we have another proposal for you.Thank you and best regards, Mr. Ed. George Hussien Onyango Obama.

42. hey Ed what did your WIFE do with all your MONEY

43. Yes, he borrowed the money and it sounds like his wife wants to spend eveyr penny of EVERYBODY'S money and, at the risk of sounding sexist, which I am not (and I am a woman!), he needs to put a leash on her! But Merv Griffin's estate could probably bail out the whole country and still have change left over! And I still don't understand why we are supposed to bail the banks out!

44. I honestly believe that Merv would turn over in his grave IF he knew this. I do not think he would ever do this to as good a friend as they were. The company, Griffingroup, is trying to get blood out of a turnip. If this debt is this old, don't you think that IF Merv didn't sue him in all those years, why should that company do it? Some people just love to kick someone when thay are already down!

45. off the subject but remember..obama or mcain..both rich only wanna help other rich people.i would rather vote for a blue collar worker.i mean if he can't make the debate because he was trying to keep his electricity from being cut off...he has my vote...lolof course no blue collar worker will ever be allowed to run...and if he did the fat cats in charge of studios would try to shut him down
