The “King of Late Night” Johnny Carson helmed NBC’s flagship The Tonight Show from 1962 to 1992. One of America’s favorite television personalities for many years, Carson won numerous awards, including six Primetime Emmys, was inducted into the Television Hall of Fame, and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President George HW Bush.
Before his move to Los Angeles, Carson called New York home. His former mansion in suburban New York City, a Colonial-style manor still known as “The Carson Ballfield” because he let the local kids play baseball in the yard, has hit the market for $5.3 million. Also owned by Fritz Siebel, illustrator of the beloved “Amelia Bedelia” children’s series, and featured in an episode of MTV’s Teen Cribs, the stone mansion was converted from a barn in the 1920s and has undergone numerous renovations to create the 9,923 square-foot home that stands today.
