Historic Interviews with Some of the Most Famous Personalities and Celebrities of the 20th Century
As host of his eponymous talk show for nearly a quarter of a century,
Merv Griffin said his audience saw him as "every mother's favorite
son-in-law." Merv was the man who brought glamour and laughter into
America's homes, but didn't shy away from spotlighting serious cultural
leaders, controversial figures of the day, or mostly unknowns like
Jerry Seinfeld and Tom Cruise. The three-discs of this initial set are
filled with almost nine hours of remarkable interviews, including four
United States Presidents (Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter and
Ronald Reagan); Hollywood royalty like John Wayne, Ingrid Bergman and
Orson Welles; and titled royalty like Princess Grace.
Culled from the
5,500 shows and 25,000 guests that appeared on the award-winning,
critically acclaimed talk-show during its historic broadcast run, The Merv Griffin Show: 40 Of The Most Interesting People Of All Time.
Merv Griffin was recently honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award at
the 2005 Daytime Emmys, adding another Emmy to the sixteen he already
owns; he also was the sole honoree at the 2005 Museum of Television and
Radio Gala, at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York attended by more than a
thousand industry leaders and celebrities.
Provocative, intimate and
always entertaining, The Merv Griffin Show: 40 Of The Most Interesting People Of All Time hearkens back to an era when the art of conversation was truly an art! |
