Merv Griffin Photos
Merv Griffin, owner of the Beverly Hilton Hotel, sits poolside at the hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif., in this Feb. 21, 2003 file photo. When "Jeopardy!" and "Wheel of Fortune," two shows he invented and produced, became the hottest on television, he sold their rights for $250 million, retaining a share of the profits. He continued to receive royalties for the popular "Jeopardy!" theme song, which he wrote.
