OK, you're off the hook then. Next time, know the language the picture is in. LOL
Is that really necessary? Have a little class or at least pretend to, will you?
And Merv had a new game show that is coming out soon...forgot the name....but I heard it on the news. It will be out before long. And I also heard recently he was going to be on Fox in a segment called “Mondays with Merv.” Guess thats over! I always liked Merv and had a great respect for him. Sad over his passing.
I was not aware of his friendship with Nancy. Very sad.
Just a minor family anecdote concerning the late Merv Griffin. He was originally a singer, singing at one time with the Freddy Martin orchestra. One of his fairly successful songs was a song written by my late father,
“Take Her to Jamaica”
My aunt, a singer from YOUR HIT PARADE radio shows, JOAN EDWARDS once said to Merv, as reported in the AP obituary,
“Your voice is terrific, but the blubber has got to go.”
Griffin slimmed down, and he would spend the rest of his life adding and taking off weight.
RIP, Mervyn!
Along with President Bush :-)
Yes, another 6 July
I think it was an open secret that Merv was gay or bisexual. But it really isn’t a big deal. He was a classy guy in everything I’ve read about him. Plus he was a republican and good friends with the Reagans. Makes him OK in my book.
I hated Merv growing up because in our house we had one TV, and my Mom would change the channel to Merv, right when the Three Stooges were coming on.
