Owners of Johnny Carson's boyhood home are asking the city of Norfolk, Neb., to buy it.
Jim Pruett of Brandon, S.D., said he and partner Rick Runge of Sioux Falls, S.D., were trying "to do a nice thing" when they bought the two-story, off-white house last spring. They remodeled it and hoped to sell it for a profit.
"(But) we stand to lose a bunch of money," he said. "I failed with it." It had been reported earlier that the two men had paid $150,000 for the house in March.

Pruett said he and Runge had spent about $171,000 on remodeling and were willing to sell the house for $119,000.
