GRIFFIN'S LAST JOKE

Late comedy legend MERV GRIFFIN has cracked his last joke - a funny one-liner on his cemetery tombstone. The talk show host died last August (07) at the age of 82 after a long battle with prostate cancer and was laid to rest at Los Angeles' Westwood Village Memorial Park, alongside Marilyn Monroe, Dean Martin and Jack Lemmon. And Griffin requested his gravestone include the quip, "I will not be right back after this message." A spokesperson for his company says, "Merv would have wanted it exactly that way."
