Located in Rye, New York, this mansion sits on a sprawling property with an amazing backyard. It was once owned by Johnny Carson and was built in 1928. It boasts six bedrooms and seven bathrooms. The backyard has a basketball and pickleball court, pool, spa, hot tub, a gazebo, and bluestone walkways along with a fire pit. There are wraparound terraces too. On the market for $5.3 million, it sits on nearly two acres.

This is considered TV Talk Show Host Day – recognizing the work and talents of TV talk show hosts -- and it’s always celebrated on October 23rd, the birthday of the guy who's considered the King of late night TV, Johnny Carson.

My wife and I were recently discussing how many of the icons we grew up with are gone. Names like Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Elvis and one our favorites, Johnny Carson. We then started talking about some famous folks and wondered if they were still with us...like Loretta Lynn.
