    Contemporary thought regarding homosexuality cannot be superimposed on the times when Merv Griffin was living. Being "out" could and many times would "kill" a career in show biz. And frankly, by today's standards whose business is it?

      They married late in life sex isn't important friendship is everything girlfriend's for life bi-sexuals don't come with signs on their backs she was my favorite Gabor sister that they were happy is what counts

      @@joshadams7389 Your observation regarding friendship/companionship in later life is a valid one (although sex in later life can be important to some). And if they were "happy" with one another, I say again: who cares? And I do believe Eva Gabor and Merv Griffin were happy together.

    Merv was extremely rich and famous. Just what mama Gabor taught her daughters to throw themselves at. And the fact she didn't have to accommodate him was like hitting the jackpot. A perfect Hollywood pairing.

    The CBS talk show has one of the silliest examples of censorship of all times Abby Hoffman was a guest,he wore a shirt made from an American flag.His image was shielded by a blue screen.From what I hear, Griffin was outraged & that was why he ended his run on CBS & moved his show into syndication as an afternoon show.

    I say cover-up. But who cares? (None of my business) It was generous of Merv to let Eva live with him. Despite all of her years
    working in TV and the good (for the time) money she made; Eva's ex-husband had bankrupted her before their divorce.

    Surprisingly, the very last thing the robot said was 100% true and meaningful. Essentially: If Merv Griffin couldn't stand up and change the perception of his own demographic, it indicates "little hope" for future generations. True. Some things have changed- marriage, for one- but there is not one single openly gay male A-list film star. In a business of music, dancing, costumes, make-up and make believe... not even one who dares come out for fear of wrecking his career.

    Gay men can have friendships with women they like, without having sex with them. Just because you are friends with someone doesn't mean you are obligated to go to bed with them. Merv evidently liked Eva. Why not? It was their business, and no one else's.
