==Early life==
Griffin was born into a U.S. Irish family on July 6, 1925, in San Mateo, California to Mervyn Edward Griffin, Sr., a stock-broker, and Rita Elizabeth Griffin (née Robinson), a homemaker. Raised as a Roman Catholic, Griffin started singing in his church choir as a boy, and by his teens was earning extra money as a church organist. His abilities as a pianist played a part in his early entry into show business.
He attended San Mateo High School, graduating in 1942, and continued to aid in financing the school. He attended San Mateo Junior College and then the University of San Francisco.〔 He was a member of the international fraternity Tau Kappa Epsilon.
During World War II, Griffin was declared 4F after failing several military physical examinations due to having a slight heart murmur.〔"(Merv Griffin, Before He Was a Legend )" August 12, 2009.〕 Drafted for service during the Korean War, he was then deemed fit for service, but was considered too old as the drafting age limit was twenty-six years and he had just turned twenty-seven.
