The TV Zone

TV host/producer/composer/mogul Merv Griffin, who died Sunday, is being honored by several TV screenings.

Digital cable/satellite’s Bio channel gives Griffin the “Biography” treatment Wednesday at 9 a.m., 3 p.m. and 4 a.m.

GSN is putting together three weekend tributes to the creator of “Jeopardy!” and “Wheel of Fortune.” Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., GSN has scheduled an early Chuck Woolery episode of “Wheel of Fortune, Vanna White’s letter-turning debut in 1982, and the show’s first road trip to New York City. Sunday’s 10 a.m.-3 p.m. lineup is a “Jeopardy!” marathon including “$1,000,000 Masters Tournament of Champions” episodes.

But best of all, GSN’s overnight black-and-white block Sunday night/Monday morning showcases two early TV games hosted by Griffin, before his talk show era. At 3 a.m., there’s Griffin’s first hosting gig on “Play Your Hunch”; this 1960 episode gives the onetime big band vocalist a chance to sing. At 3:30, there’s a 1961 “To Tell The Truth” episode with Griffin filling in for vacationing host Bud Collyer.
