"The Merv Griffin Show", which normally works twice as fast as Sleep-Eze, was right lively last night.
David Merrick, the Broadway producer who makes friends wherever he goes. got up and walked out,
then came back, then walked out again. Griffin, with his talent for obvious questions, irritated Merrick
from the start by asking "What's wrong with the Broadway theater?" Merrick replied,
"The New York Times." When comedian Phil Foster made a remark about Merrick, the producer
up and left, then popped back in his overcoat to complain about Foster's choice of subjects,
and sallied off again. Shades of Jack Paar ..."
