Merv Griffin started out as a singer with hits in the 1950s like " I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts," "Wilhelmina" and "Never Been Kissed," before he was discovered in a nightclub by Doris Day and moved on to making films, and later television. He was a regular on the Jack Parr show among others, and really made it big as the host of "Play Your Hunch," which became one of the biggest gameshows in history as "Jeopardy." His biggest break came, though, when he guest hosted for Jack Parr on the Tonight Show: NBC liked him so much that they offered him the Merv Griffin Show, which became one of the longest running and most popular talk shows ever. He has gone on to be a producer, owner of the Beverly Hilton Hotel, winner of 15 Emmys, and if the sheer number of his and his son's appearances at Hollywood Poker are any indication, Merv Griffin is an avid poker player, too.
