David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place. GSN’s Merv-athon
GSN will this weekend air a whole mess of game shows produced by Merv Griffin, who died Sunday. But you’ll have to get up early on the West Coast if you want to partake.
On Saturday, from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. EST (7 a.m.-noon PCT), it’s all “Wheel of Fortune,” all the time. Included – hold your breath – will be Vanna White’s 1982 debut.
Sunday, it’s “Jeopardy!” and the million-buck masters tournament of champions episodes.
They’re also offering a couple of things featuring Griffin himself: “Play Your Hunch,” which was Merv’s first network gig, and “To Tell the Truth,” featuring him as guest-host, Sunday at midnight and 12:30 a.m. (PCT), respectively.
