Milk and Cheese and Merv Griffin
[Merv Griffin, Milk and Cheese, Evan Dorkin]
Merv Griffin, who recorded “I’ve Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts” in the 1950s, one of television’s longest running talk-show hosts and creator of two of the most popular game shows died Sunday at the age of 82.
The San Mateo native learned to play piano at 4, and soon he was staging shows on the back porch of the family home. After studying at San Mateo Junior College and the University of San Francisco, Griffin quit school to apply for a job as pianist at radio station KFRC in San Francisco. The station needed a vocalist instead. He auditioned and was hired.
In tribute [?] enjoy this Milk and Cheese, the "Dairy Products Gone Bad" in their self-proclaimed (and rightly so, IMO) 'Greatest Strip Ever.'
