Pat Sajak: Working with Merv (Griffin) can be quite the experience. I remember once going out to lunch and the waiter asked, "may I take your order?" Merv then pulls out his notebook and says, "great idea!" He writes what the waiter said down and turns to me saying, "this will be a great puzzle for the show." He is one of the brightest and smartest men I have ever met.
