He brought back 'Jeopardy!'. My dad won back in the 1960s on the original Jeopardy.


Hence, he is indirectly responsible for the hilarious SNL spoofs of 'Jeopardy!' with a hilarious faux Sean Connery.

Prayers to his family.

It was wierd, my mom and I were talking about him last week, and she said, he died didn't he, and I said, not that I know of.

He owned the first casino in Atlantic City - Resort's.

I remember his daytime talk show being on as I grew up.

Rest in Peace Merv.
