Does this include the phonecalls to Merv?

Sorry for the delay:

Calls to Merv:

June 9, 1998

Stolen from the Wahoo Gazette:

Dave phoned the Beverly Hilton Hotel to once and for all settle the
question, "Is Merv Griffin Dead or Alive?" Merv owns the B. Hilton
H. so who would know better than those employed at the Hilton?
We first got a recording at the busy inn. Finally, a person came on.
Savvy Dave quickly talked his way past person #1. Cunning Dave
then double talked his way past person #2. Dave eventually got to
Charlie. Charlie seemed to be a higher-up in the Merv organization.
Now, I don't know Charlie but I bet his office cube is right next to
Merv's. Anyway, Charlie was a hit. He was quick, sharp, and fast
witted. I can see why Merv chose Charlie to be on his staff.
This bit was to last maybe two minutes. Due to the recording and
the steps it took to get to Charlie, then when Charlie turned out to
be so entertaining, the bit took about 10 minutes. This resulted in
our having to cancel "Stop Calling Me Chief", which was scheduled
to follow the Merv call.
By the way: Merv is not due to die till the year 2007. Or am I
thinking of Mike Douglas? I always get those two confused.
