Entertainment website The Wrap recently revealed that WWE “advocate” Paul Heyman has partnered with Roy Bank and Banca Studio to produce multiple entertainment projects and that the first is one that will star Paul Heyman himself (Heyman will act as Executive Producer on this first project).

The show, created by Merv Griffin (you don't see that name much any more), was hosted by Art Fleming from 1964 to 1975. Mr. Trebek came on the scene in 1978 and hosted for another year before the show went on hiatus. It was rebooted in 1984 and has been on the air since. Fact: I once took the test to ...

Well, it's turning out to be one of the biggest “who knew” questions of the year when it comes to comedian Byron Allen. Bet you didn't know that besides making people laugh for years, he's also an entrepreneur, media mogul and the CEO of his own company, Entertainment Studios, Inc. Founded by Allen in ...

doesn't just have an iconic host, it was also created by an iconic host: media mogul and famous talk show host Merv Griffin. He wrote the famous theme song as well! “Jeopardy!” is one of the brainiest game shows out there and it's the only game show since 1960 to be honored with the prestigious Peabody ...

Think of Ellen DeGeneres or go back in time to Merv Griffin. They were likable people, and the guests not only enjoyed the questions, but they were able to converse while on air. Sure, it might be “staged,” and the questions were preplanned, but in the end the goal was to have a good interview. So, want to ...

“I think a lot of it had to do with the fact that I knew what it felt like to sit in the guest chair, because I had been on [Merv] Griffin and [Johnny] Carson. Not ever on Jack [Paar], of course, because I was a writer then, but I'd been on plenty of shows as a guest. That gives you a feeling of what to do and not to do ...

I did “The Merv Griffin Show” and Mike Douglas. I was like the first rock star on daytime TV, and the next thing you know I'm making a thousand dollars a minute for a 75-minute show, opening for Steve Miller in St. Louis and taking a Lear jet to Kansas City to open for Fleetwood Mac. I was on top of the world, ...

BURT: Merv Griffin did a pilot for a show called Take Me Home Again that was going to be like a modern This is Your Life only without, I thought, the saccharine. They were going to go around and ask people if they really hated you. It was a wonderful idea. Well, we did it and Mary Alice was once of the ...

In the '70s, we'd see Burt waltz out on The Tonight Show or Merv Griffin (anybody remember that show?), and he'd charm the hosts, and the crowd. Heck, it's one of the reasons all those cheesy car movies he did, despite how bad they were, brought a certain amount of fun. The Last Movie Star is coming out ...

Among the 40,000 plus dogs trained by Margolis and his staff are those belonging to numerous celebrities including Renee Russo, Merv Griffin, Goldie Hawn, Drew Carey, Madonna, Elizabeth Taylor and Shannon Doherty.

He will celebrate his 90th birthday with a public party on March 17 at Christian W. Klay Winery. In this 2014 photo, Harold ...

The film shows us a stilted TV appearance on The Merv Griffin Show, with Woody Allen, to promote a ghosted autobiography the very existence of which she appears to disdain. Lamarr was an enigma: a great brain trapped in a silly, spurious image of glamour, while her real talent was allowed to wither.

She was a regular on the Steve Allen and Merv Griffin shows, and was also Johnny's guest on the Tonight Show. She loved golf, probably could have been a professional had she made the time for it, and played often with the first Gov. Brown (California) and his wife, with Bob Hope and his buddies, and ...

It later served as spring training housing for the Los Angeles Angels baseball team, as well as Merv Griffin's Resort Hotel and Givenchy Spa. Then, nearly 50 years later, acclaimed designer Jonathan Adler got his chance at reinventing the ...

There was an infamous opening number in which Merv Griffin sang "I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts!" and then the stage was turned over to Rob Lowe, who was trying to live down a real-life sex-tape scandal by dancing with Snow White to the tune of "Proud Mary." The show was so bad that it ...

There's a nice comedic moment seeing the creepy Woody Allen drooling over her on the Merv Griffin Show in the '60s. This documentary would bookend nicely with The Imitation Game. If you're a fan of old Hollywood, it's a must see. If you enjoy documentaries, and finding out interesting stories about ...

In place of one of the towers, Alagem planned to create a 1.7-acre public garden along Merv Griffin Way, as perhaps an olive branch to local opponents of the development. He skipped the city's land use approval process, opting to put the decision to voters. He gathered enough signatures for a ballot ...

He way outshined anyone else since the Carson-Merv Griffin days as an interviewer. In the past year, Kimmel has been included in the mute button ranks. He, like Glenn Beck on radio, has lost his ability to pose a point and has become a bit hysterical in promoting a political point of view. It doesn't matter ...

The duo appeared regularly on “The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson” and “The Merv Griffin Show.” They also toured comedy clubs nationwide, headlined shows at major Las Vegas casinos and released a series of hit albums until their amicable breakup in 1968. Allen then took on a series of serious ...

Along with the talking heads, there's archival footage of Allred's media appearances, from Dinah Shore's and Phil Donahue's talk shows to debating Zsa Zsa Gabor on Merv Griffin's TV program. This film is surprisingly entertaining with a glorious musical grand finale. As America undergoes the paroxysms of ...

In Meeks' interview tapes, she comes across as funny and down-to-earth, in sharp contrast to the way she's seen in other archival interviews, as when a leering Woody Allen shares the stage with her during a 1969 appearance on “The Merv Griffin Show.” Other topics covered by filmmaker Alexandra Dean ...

He was the headline singer and bandleader at the world-famous Rainbow Room atop Rockefeller Center in New York City and the bandleader and singer at Merv Griffin's "Coconut Club" in the Beverly Hilton in California.

The hardest part was to decide how to use that gift. With everything we have, that might be the biggest question. How to use it? Once on TV, host Merv Griffin interviewed some body builders. Merv asked one of his muscle-bound guests this memorable question: ”What do you use all those muscles for?”.

He was known for his one-man shows, combining songs, comedy, impersonations and his guitar prowess. Guests on his shows included Dolly Parton, George Jones, Hank Williams Jr., Crystal Gayle and Don Everly. Prophet also appeared on other people's shows, including Johnny Carson, Merv Griffin, ...

So, we went to the show and he introduced me to a dancer on the show and I said to her, “Hey, can you introduce me to Merv [Griffin, creator of Wheel of Fortune]'s right-hand man? I hear they're looking for a replacement on Wheel of Fortune.' Because Dancer Fever was a Merv Griffin show too. I got an ...

Griffin later sold his production company, Merv Griffin Enterprises, to Columbia Pictures Television in 1986 for $250 million.
