And the answer is: Merv Griffin

Who is: dead?

I always liked Merv. I'll never forget watching The Village People's breakthrough performances on his show as my jaw dropped.

Say hello to Miss Miller.

Yeah, I was just reading about him falling ill again.

Merv Griffin is a classic! RIP!

How odd. I was just reading a "headline" at the drug store yesterday about "Merv Griffin's Secret Gay Life". I thought this "news" had come out postmortem. I thought he died last year.

Oh well. RIP Merv.

Loved his talk show, rip Merv.

Oooo!

Oh

I had heard he was working on developing a new crossword puzzle based game show. Creative to the end.

Alex · 08-13-2007, 09:05 AM

Yeah, I had seen him selling that game show recently, but based on the quality of examples he was giving I didn't have high hopes for it.

I have never seen any of his talk shows and pretty much only know him as a shill and real estate developer but maybe now I'll finally getting around to watching some of the "40 interesting people" interviews from his show that I bought for a couple bucks at the Tower Records fire sale.

I hadn't known that it was Merv Griffin I was hearing when this song used to play. (I seem to remember this exact recording being played while puppets pretended to sing it on Captain Kangaroo.) Anyhow, the link will take you to a YouTube video, where the song is accompanied by random anime. This was a huge hit back in the day. Hmm.
