Ed McMahon faces eviction

Ed McMahon sure could use one of those oversized sweepstakes checks right now.

The 86-year-old former "Tonight Show" sidekick has failed to save his home from foreclosure and will be evicted when it's auctioned off in late June unless he can come up with the cash quickly, reports RadarOnline.com.

McMahon defaulted on $4.8 million in mortgage loans and had entered into negotiations, which failed, with a lender earlier this year.

The pitchman and "Star Search" host's ongoing failing health isn't helping matters. In February he was hospitalized for pneumonia and bone cancer.

McMahon had recently settled with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for allegedly botching two neck surgeries and discharging him with a broken neck. It's not clear if the settlement money will be enough to allow him to keep his home though.
