A member of my club is saying the model press is making this out to be a bigger deal than it is.  First of all, TV celebrity really?  Not that big time.  Also, the club pays rent so who ever buys that house would be silly to pass up on an income opportunity like that.  And last the home isn't even that expensive.  But whatever, it gives people something to talk about and fawn over.

CO1309:

Per another post here the home IS very expensive and in a high-end neighborhood. And even if the club pays rent as they did before, at least they get to keep operating. And apparrently the comedian and his wife have money--maybe a sign of success?

I know the sale price/value of that home, it may be high end to some but it's slightly above average to many.
