Apparently his cancer has taken a bit of a negative turn

If Merv Griffin is gravely ill, then it's only a matter of hours, days before he passes on, as much as I hate to point that out. Nonetheless, we must be very thankful for his contributions to the game show industry. He created both Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune, and I'm proud to say both game shows are still going very strong. He even was a substitute host on the original Price is Right. We already know about his long-running talk show, but Merv will still be with us through the two long-running game shows he's created. I believe he has family members to carry on his work in the game show industry, if I'm not mistaken. Before he goes, may we all thank Merv Griffin for his contributions to the game show industry as well as all the memories he'll leave us with from his talk shows, among other things. Perhaps on the upcoming release of The Best of The Price is Right, Volume 1 on DVD, maybe one of Merv's TPIR telecasts from the 50's and/or early 60's will be included on there. If that's the case, out of respect for Merv Griffin, it should only be appropriate.

How sad, and here I was thinking he was starting to get better.
