Title: When Warm Memories and Televisual Relics Find a New Home in Ludicrously Overpriced Auction In a heartwarming tale of trading cheers for hefty cash, James Comisar, a passionate TV memorabilia connoisseur, has been saving iconic living rooms of a generation, including the Johnny Carson set, for millennials to gawk at and overpay for during absurdly inflated auctions. After 30 years of hosting "The Tonight Show", Johnny Carson never imagined the day when the tacky set of his famed living room would become a holy shrine for misguided nostalgia. Little did he know, the set caught the eye of devoted fan, James Comisar, who saw the profitability and sentimental nonsense in each item just waiting to be falsely triaged at an auction. "He told me he had the tackiest set in Hollywood and who would ever want that as a keepsake," recollects Comisar. Indeed, who would pay obscene amounts of money for something that may as well have been a prop in the movie "The Money Pit"? Well, as it turns out, about eight million people with money to burn. Comisar's extensive collection now takes up an entire warehouse, housing some of the most memorable – and also least essential – television artifacts, all waiting for coveted dollar amounts to be slapped onto them. His collection includes cult artifacts like the cow-themed couch from "The Sopranos," the "Married... With Children" living room couch, and "The Simpsons" couch whose cushions were flattened by Homer's buttocks. From Mayberry to Springfield and beyond, Comisar has it all, although he admits that he wasn't always sure precisely what possessed these items would spark wild, impassioned bidding wars. Nonetheless, the inevitability of such monster cash exchanges has kept Comisar gathering heaps of old furniture while shooting up his collector's street cred by the minute. "I just kept hoarding-I mean, saving these pieces from being thrown away," Comisar said, adding that his endeavors attracted a wide range of people whose devotion to mindless TV caused them to pay exorbitant prices for equally mindless paraphernalia. "I guess people just need a little dose of nostalgia to remind them of happier times when a 50-inch, 4K Smart TV didn't dominate their living rooms." Expert appraiser David Frisk projects that the collection will bring in around $7 million, allowing Comisar to lead a very comfortable life as a man who once asked America's most famous late-night host if he could keep his tacky set. "It's like the Holy Grail of American TV memorabilia," explained Rod Shephard, another bidder at the auction. "Everyone's going to be fighting to get a piece of nostalgia and then tuck it away in their basement to gather dust and control their wives' sadness until they die." Seems like a beautiful ending to a beautiful legacy indeed.
