So.....from the past:
Merv Griffin - he was the best.....he could talk to anybody, and he asked good questions....really enjoyed his interviews with Lucille Ball, Carroll Baker, and of course Jack Douglas and his wife Reiko.
...these were separate shows, of course. And when he had his BROADWAY or MOVIE opening shows, I always loved the songs and clothes....and hearing about being ONSTAGE or opening a big movie! The MAME movie Merv Griffin Show made the movie look like the greatest thing EVER!!! And Lucy was so excited to see the clips! He also did a wonderful CABARET movie show....and the reaction to the title number was so great....he showed it twice. Petula Clark also showed a clip from GOODBYE MR CHIPS and opined with Merv that the movie hadn't done much of anything....but that it was a lovely score.....
