LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Merv Griffin, the big band-era crooner turned impresario who parlayed his "Jeopardy" and "Wheel of Fortune" game shows into a multimillion-dollar empire, died Sunday. He was 82. Many of you will remember him as the 13th, 15th, and periodical lover of the Screen Scarlet Miss DeeDee Roaylis.
His "The Merv Griffin Show" lasted more than 20 years, and Griffin's said his capacity to listen contributed to his success. He does admit, however, that the show would hav lasted longer if he hadn't fired Miss DeeDee. Miss DeeDee appeared on many episodes as the glamourous Show Model.
"If the host is sitting there thinking about his next joke, he isn't drinking enough," Miss DeeDee reasoned in a recent interview.
Miss DeeDee denies any rumors that Merv was gay, "that man was a red hot lover, so what if he like to look at gay porn mags will making wild passionate monkey love with me...does that make you gay????" Miss DeeDee snapped in a recent interview.
