Ex-Husband- Johnny Carson

Wolcott was married to the Tonight Show host, Johnny Carson in 1948, and had three children from their marriage.

But later, after one and half decades of togetherness, they volatile the marriage and opted for a divorce. 

Reportedly, both Wolcott and Carson were seeing another person while they were still married, and when they knew about each other's extra affair, they came into mutual understanding and ended their marriage in 1963.  

How Did Her Ex-Husband Die?

The Host of 'The Johnny Carson Show' is sadly no more. In 1999, he had a severe heart attack at his California home while he was asleep at the age of 74. Then after the attack, he went under quadruple-bypass surgery.

However, that was not the reason behind his death, at the age of 79 in 2005, he died of emphysema which is the clinical name for respiratory failure.

Carson was a popular television host and was an inspiration to a bunch of big hosts and comics like Jerry Seinfeld, Jay Leno, and Jimmy Fallon. Not only do they praise him, but they also thank him for motivating them to launch their careers as a host.

Without, Johnny, the world surely wouldn't have seen Fallons and Lenos for sure.

Gave Birth To Three Sons

Wolcott and Carson gave birth to three sons Cory Carson, Richard Carson, and Christopher Carson from their fifteen years of marriage. 

Christopher is the firstborn son as he was born in 1950. Richard Carson who was called Rick by his loved one is the second son of the pair. 

At his adult age, Richard was into drugs and also was arrested for the intake of marijuana but he was bailed after paying $1,000. Sadly, on June 21, 1991, he died in a car accident. 

Cory is Wolcott and Carson's youngest son, born in 1953. He is a guitarist as well as a musician and has released several songs throughout his journey. 

Although he didn't become famous as his television host Dad Carson, he once was a guest at his own dad's late-night show as a guitarist, and the father-son duo did make a blast that night.
