TMZ has learned that Johnny Carson's Malibu estate, which had an asking price of $42 million, has been sold!
The late "Tonight Show" host's home was purchased for an undisclosed amount by Sidney Kimmel, Chairman of Jones Apparel and producer of recent Hollywood films like "Breach," "Alpha Dog," and "United 93."
Johnny's good friend, comedian Don Rickles, helped broker the deal between Kimmel and Carson's widow, Alexis. On the market since last July, the ultra-modern home comes with a guesthouse, guardhouse, tennis court, tennis pavilion and "exquisite park-like grounds." Johnny died at age 79 in January, 2005.

Johnny Carson's Malibu estate can be yours -- for a cool $42 million.
This advertisement (click here to see photos), inside "Los Angeles Times Ultimate Address" magazine, does not list the owner, but TMZ has learned it's the lavish estate the former "Tonight Show" host called home. It's an ultra-modern home, with extras including a guest house, guard house, tennis court, tennis pavilion and "exquisite park-like grounds."
Carson's widow, Alexis, has listed the house with the tony Sotheby's International Realty.
Real estate sources say Alexis has moved out of the house and that it was empty until recently, when rented furniture was brought in to make it look homey -- called "staging" in real estate terms.
