Larry “Garlic Breath” King and Ellen Degenerate?
Fun to see the pics. Sad to see Merv gone. God Bless you, sir.
.
Okay, is it just me, or does the full shot of Larry King make him look JUST like Mr. Burns from the Simpsons???
And now poor Mrs. Reagan has to go to Michael Deaver’s funeral... :-\
She does look good. I think Arnold is very handsome. Larry looks quite petite in the last picture.
Cool to see Dick Van Dyke and Carl Reiner together after all these years.
I’m always fascinated in HSN maven Suzanne Somers. She looks fine but could have carried a small black handbag.
To bad it was not private.
Merv was a great fellow and his daughter too.
No bad words from this Freeper.
He shared his money as in st.jude hospital ect and kept his private life private
RIP Merv. God Bless your Family and loved ones.
Merv was a classy guy who created multiple sources of entertainment for millions. Rest in peace, Merv.
“Cool to see Dick Van Dyke and Carl Reiner together after all these years.”
Yes it was. Shades of the old Dick Van Dyke Show.
Thanks for posting. I’m not very current on my celebrities. One pall bearer was Robert Loggia, whose the other younger man? I also didn’t recognize half the women. Dick Van Dyke sure looks a lot better than Dick Van Patten...and was that Robin Williams in one of the photos? The sunglasses sure make it harder to identify people.
Some captions would be nice, I don’t know even half of who those people are.
I’m glad you said that. I think I recognized less than half. This says a lot (positive) about us.
Here’s who I know, and who I don’t (this will be my attempt at a trivia game)...I find it interesting I know all the older stars and not the younger people...does that mean I’m getting old, LOL.
In order of appearance, as they say in the movies:
1. Nancy Reagan
2. Arnie and some young guy who was also a pall bearer
3. Reiner and Van Dyke
4. That’s who I surmised was Robin Williams, not sure
5. girl, no clue, guy American Idol host
6. Jack Klugman, woman don’t know
7. Suzanne Somers, I think
8. Larry King
9. Dick Van Patten
10. woman, no clue
11. Maria Shriver
12. woman, no clue
13. Ellen degenerate and the Idol host
14. Alex Trebek
15. Robert Loggia
16. woman, no clue
17. Is that Candice Bergen with big sunglasses?
18. Pat Sajak and Vanna White
I did some research on Wikipedia, the dark haired guy in a few of the photos (with Arnie, standing beside Nancy, and as pall bearer with Loggia) is Merv Griffin’s son, Tony.
#17 = not Candice Bergen, it’s Bo Derek. Same with #16,
It looks more like Charles Haid from Hill Street Blues rather than Robin Williams.
I didn’t think it looked too much like Williams, I didn’t know who Charles Haid was, But I used the name and googled this photo...it was him.

There are some ‘What Not to Wear’ pix in there.
