He had A-L-L the stars on his show, from Liz Taylor to Lucille Ball, and seemed completely comfortable with them all. I remember him asking Lucy who made her laugh...and her answer: "Nancy Walker...when I can FIND her," she said somewhat disgustedly, hinting that she was an underused treasure (I agree). Also, who can forget that old lady who was always out in the audience that he would interact with...Mrs. (something). As a kid, I didn't much like (actually hated) the show, but seems like it was always on. And now I realize what a pioneer he was, both of the talkshow and gameshow formats. I'm gonna miss that guy...and the simpler times he represented back in the 60s-70s growing up. Will never forget his late afternoon / early evening talk show, THE MERV GRIFFIN SHOW.
