Johnny Carson – The Scandalous Story of His 4 Wives

Everyone remembers Johnny Carson as the king of late night, the man America let into their living room every weeknight for thirty years. The truth was messier. Four wives sat through three decades of that success, and each one paid for it in a different currency.

Jody Wolcott married him in Nebraska in 1949, before there was anything to be famous about, and got a Mexican divorce in 1963 after fourteen years and three sons. Joanne Copeland believed in his talent before NBC did, married him the same year, and walked away in 1972 with half a million dollars and a doctorate she earned on her own. Joanna Holland took the four-thirty phone calls for a year, moved to Burbank against her own heart, and left in 1985 with an eighty-page settlement — four houses, three cars, seventy-five Krugerrands, a Picasso, thirty-five thousand a month.

Then came Alexis Maas, the one wife who never sold a word, and the one producer George Schlatter called "the real love of his life."

What did each of the first three wives actually get paid for, and why did the fourth one finally get the real thing?

Which wife do you think really knew him? Drop one word: JODY, JOANNE, JOANNA, or ALEX.
