RIP Merv Griffin

TV talk show host and creator of "Jeopardy" and "The Wheel Of Fortune" Merv Griffin has passed away from prostate cancer.  Mostly known for hosting "The Merv Griffin," he was one of the legendary TV talk show hosts for people who grew up in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s.  He was 82 years old.

After retiring from TV in 1986, he went into real estate and was a success at that too.

Sad to hear that Merv has passed.  We've lost Steve Allen, Jack Paar, Johnny Carson, Mike Douglas, and Tom Snyder within the space of several years.

RIP Merv!
