Question

Fans discuss whether Merv Griffin appears in the background of a scene in The Chaperone and debate the legality of recording episodes on VHS tapes.

At the end of The Chaperone when Karen is singing there is a panning shot of the audience. If you look closely in the bottom right I believe you can see Merv Griffin. Can anyone with those illegal tapes out there confirm that?

Thanks,

Go easy Mike. *My* tapes aren't illegal. I taped the show for my own enjoyment, not to hawk copies for profit. Don't clump us law abiders in with those who would steal money from Jerry.

Anyway, I'll rewatch the scene in question and report back on Thursday. (Wednesday is Yom Kippur, no eating, no drinking, no using the computer).

The 'rules' seem so arbitrary sometimes.

Still, Estelle would approve of me not driving a Mercedes to Shul, I've
got a Toyota. :)

I rewatched the scene, and if it wasn't Merv, then it was his twin
brother.  It appeared as though the Pageant crowd was really a Seinfeld
taping crowd.  As they panned across, several people were looking off to
their right (to see themselves on the monitors) and some people were
even waving to the camera.
