Ed McMahon has an unexpected new job title: Rapper

You may know him as Ed McMahon but the television icon is now going by Ed McGangsta.

FreeCreditReport.com has signed McMahon to be the new face of their latest ad campaign. The campaign seen online at FreeCreditReportSongs.Com, spoofs McMahon's much publicized personal financial troubles, following "McGangsta" through the streets as he goes to the homes of people he has given checks to in his past career, and asks them for their winnings back.

"My life is such that I always look to the good side of anything. You know, some people say the glass is half empty, for me, it's bubbling over the top! Translating that attitude into my particular situation could become something very good for me," said McMahon.

In today's suffering economy, many others are sharing in McMahon's financial pain, but McMahon says turning your finances around is all about attitude.

"The keyword here is optimistic," says McMahon, "As long as you have the wherewithal to solve your financial problems, you can call upon things like FreeCreditReport.Com to get important information you can use to help you."

Spoken like a true gangster.
