The thing I remember most about Merv is when he bought the Resorts Casino in Atlantic City from Donald Trump. Trump immediately went public and said how he put one over on Merv, selling him a high priced run down building which would allow Trump to upgrade his other three casinos. During the entire time, Merv said not one word. Matter of fact he never commented publicly about it that I know of. Today, Resorts is still chugging along, making money, and Trump's 3 casinos were sold in a bankruptcy sale 2 years ago.
The entire episode proved what a classy guy Merv was. It also demonstrated what a classless blowhard Trump is and will always be.

Not to rain on your parade, but when Merv first operated resorts, its was the only casino in Atlantic City.
Rest in peace, Mr. Griffin, you will be missed.
I didn't know that. (Thanks for the information, it is one of the reasons that I like FR, I learn so much. :0)
