GSN to salute Merv Griffin this weekend
Filed under: TV Royalty, Programming, Celebrities
The Game Show Network will have a special tribute to Merv Griffin, who died earlier this week of cancer at age 82.
On Saturday and Sunday, August 18 and 19, GSN will run two different Griffin marathons, from 10am to 3pm. The shows included in the marathons will include a Chuck Woolery-hosted episode of Wheel Of Fortune and the first episode that featured Vanna White. We’ll also see the first NYC-based episode of Wheel (not sure why this is so special, but I guess I’ll wait and see) and a Jeopardy Masters Tournament of Champions. On Sunday night we’ll see a 1960 episode of Play Your Hunch, a game show Griffin hosted, and then at 3:30am we’ll see a To Tell The Truth episode that Griffin guest hosted.
That’s a lot better than their tribute to Kitty Carlisle earlier this year, when they ran her game show appearances in the wee hours of the morning and that was it.
