80 million? Holy cow.

[rhinohunter]

two words: Granite Countertops

[Veto!]

I really enjoyed his shows. Wonderfully witty fellow. He dressed well too.

I think 80 mil is pretty much par for the course in that ‘hood. Someone might actually buy it, tear it down, and build a bigger place on that extremely valuable land. We shall see.

[aquila48]

81 mils. Must be at least 2000sqft.

Ed: How clickbait was it?

[rktman]

NOT Johnny Carson.

[BradyLS]

Even if I had the money, I wouldn’t give $8MM for it.

[Beowulf9]

Tennis court a gift from the network.

[PghBaldy]

What about Steve Allen & Jack Paar? They were there before Johnny Carson (who was great at it). Allen was the first, then Paar, then the “pioneering” Carson.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Doesn't look like a "house".



Palace, perhaps.

The Tonight Show’s pioneering host... Johnny Carson

Carson was the third person to host The Tonight show. Jack Paar and Steve Allen come before him. I would think that the honorarium of 'pioneering' would go to Allen, since he was first.

[Nateman]

I made it a point to videotape his last show but lost it somewhere. After his show he might as well already been dead because you simply did not see him anymore.

[oh8eleven]

As The Tonight Show’s pioneering host, Johnny Carson ...

Carson wasn't the show's real "pioneer." That would be Steve Allen and Jack Paar.

No one better before or after ...

[blueunicorn6]

For one bedroom?

And they didn’t even finish the walls on the first floor.

[Az Joe]

Joe Nameth said Johnny was a mean drunk

[avenir]

Nice. Please tell me there's a guardrail.

[colorado tanker]

Ed died a pauper. He outlived his money. Johnny or his heirs just let that happen?

[dfwgator]

Still one of my favorite Carson bits...

Why did it take 12 years to put a dead man’s house on the market?

[Beowulf9]

I have been sick for a few weeks now. I was reading about Carson last night on Twitter. So many loved the Carson show, aka the Tonight show. Reading about it made me so nostalgic for those days, those days when California had it nice.
So like a sick person sometimes does for some reason you obsess in kind of sickmind state. I woke up at 3:30 am, and obsessed over anything Carson I could find on the net about him. I have no idea why. Bored. In the past I have read the Bushkin book, if you haven’t and you liked Carson it’s a real must.
But boy, did that guy, as they say, ‘chase tail’. I don’t know how he expected his marriages to survive through that behavior, his lifestyle in that house must have been incredible.
So I wake up to find one more tidbit to satisfy my hunger about Carson here on Fr and I thank you for putting it up. It’s quite interesting to me.

81.5 million is just ever so slightly out of my price range.

How much for a cardboard box in the alleyway?
