Love Glenn Kenny's comment. I would pay $$$$ to watch a Glenn Kenny/Jeff Wells charity boxing match.

amused by the comment about John Forsythe's swat at Rock H, bcz I've read for years that JF was Merv Griffin's bf for awhile.

he told the ny times that he preferred the sexual company of women or some awkwardly worded phrase and i thought how could this guy not be gay

I've heard the Spence-is-queer rumor a few years

my dad thought merv was great. i kid though. i have no idea if merv was into my dad. he liked him though. merv used to write him letters and take him to lunch and really wanted my dad to work for him. i loved merv too! um, on t.v. never met him.

Nancy Reagan was one of Merv's besties.

Everyone knows Merv Griffin's real secret is that he was the Elevator Killer.

my dad was a looker back then. you know who else wanted my dad to work for them? award-winning gay makeup artist and fx wizard dick smith. both merv and dick more exciting than my mom, tbh.

Why would he "never take payment" for connecting "people like Arnaz"?

I think he was coyly alluding to orgies, in which he would also take part, but I am not hip to the gigolo's code.

If he had taken Merv up on his invitation he could have ended up like Ryan Seacrest.

the author of this book was extremely good-looking in his heyday.
