Unlike today's late night talk shows that are filled with shtick and gimmicks, the Merv Griffin Show truly highlights its guests and has terrific conversations with them. Of course, the wit and experience of the guests were of a higher caliber too. The older ones were icons like Jack Benny, Laurence Olivier, and Hedy LaMarr. The younger ones were amazing talents like Steve Martin and Jay Leno. Merv Griffin is so respectful and to his guests, never making it about himself. Each segment is a treasure.

Back When Talk Shows Was Talk
shelbythuylinh2 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Really back when the talk shows that. Over in the being on talk and entertaining. Not about politics or that of being condescending there.
Still it is about the late Merv Griffith who created both "Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy" there. As he hosted and created the show. As he was warm and friendly.
Plus he was very much such a down to earth person. He let the guests be themselves and put them at ease unlike today.
