The longtime home of the late comedian, announcer and game show host Ed McMahon is on the market in Beverly Hills at $4.6 million.

The sidekick to late-night legend Johnny Carson fought a much-publicized battle in 2008 to avoid foreclosure on the residence. The seller is a family friend of the McMahons who has made improvements to the house, according to listing agent Alex Davis.

The Mediterranean estate, with six bedrooms, 5 1/2 bathrooms and 7,013 square feet of living space, sits on a third of an acre with a swimming pool in the Summit, a gated community.

McMahon died last year at age 86. His three-decade stint on “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson” (1962-92) ingrained the elongated introduction “Here’s Johnny” into the pop psyche. He hosted “Star Search” from 1983 to 1995 and appeared in films including “Fun With Dick and Jane” (1977).
