    He came out of WWII with a chest full of medals from three different countries. A genuine hero both for sheer bravery in battle and for the brilliant diversionary tactics he created for amphibious landings - a major contribution to the war effort.

    Nine months before this clip, Mr. Griffin had Douglas Fairbanks Jr. on his show. Also on the show that night was singer Tiny Tim, in his first national televised appearance ever! Totally beat out Laugh-In and Johnny Carson by two years!

      He admitted that they both had affairs during their marriage. He was only 19 and she was a bit older than him when they married, not an ingredient for fidelity. He was a beautiful man who married again shortly before he was 30, he was married to his first wife for 50 years, definitely one of the rare marriages to last until death.

    The ambient street noise leaking into the studio at 2:25 is unusual, and Merv makes a comment about it.

    there were cue cards. all of that discussion was prearranged. seldom does a live TV show not know exactly what's going to happen
