Oh man I just realized the saddest thing. So, in 2008, THQ & Pipeworks released Merv Griffin's Crosswords for the Wii.

It's a tie-in game to the game show. But while I knew about this game for a while, I didn't know anything about the show it's based on.

It was created by legendary producer Merv Griffin (natch), creator of Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! A behind the scene video had the narrator say "Crosswords is sure to achieve the elite status of Griffin's other two franchises, and become the third jewel of his triple crown!"

Well, first, Merv never got to see it air, as he died a month prior to the first airing. But then... It never caught on with viewers. Canceled after the first season, which aired from 2007 to 2008.

But here's the thing: games take a while to make. So the game comes out for the Wii in November of 2008... But the show's last episode aired in May of 2008.

Imagine spending years of your life making a stupid tie-in video game and by the time you get it published, the game show it is based on not only flopped, but has been off air for SIX MONTHS!

So sad.

A collection of random Jerry gifs I threw together because I felt like it. I call it "I wanted to gif this". I'm in a not so subtle, very little effort, straight forward "this is my thing I made, it's called 'the thing I made'" kinda mood...

This is a clip from the Merv Griffin Show. Evelyn Keyes had just written her autobiography Scarlett O'Hara's Younger Sister. She was married to John Huston and Artie Shaw and she lived with Mike Todd. Talk shows were so much more interesting back in the 1970s. The guests were always so interesting, intelligent, and entertaining.

Oh so Jerry went to the Griffin show even before the show with Richard Pryor. What year could it be here... 1957 / 1958?

Nicholas Deak was introduced on a 1979 episode of The Merv Griffin Show as a financial advisor.

The reality revealed in his wikipedia biography is absolutely wild.
