He was on Letterman tonight and Nightline actually had a whole program about him. Merv Griffin makes a fortune every time the theme song is played. Actually, I hear that he has to pay a lot of Calif taxes, give a huge percent (gross) to the Mormom church, then pay federal taxes etc, so he doesn't wind up with that much in the long run, but it's sure would be enough for ME, regardless. He has a bizarre sense of humor. People that smart kinda scare me, it's almost unnatural to be so well versed in almost everything. Good for him, but I'm glad he lost to a beautiful, smart woman with no college degree, just good common sense and a quick buzzer finger! I hope she does well. I liked her a lot.
