Murray Schwartz (CEO, Merv Griffin Enterprises) Celebrates Richard Skipper Murray Schwartz, former President and CEO of Merv Griffin Enterprises, is renowned in the entertainment business among industry insiders. Starting in the mailroom at the William Morris Agency in 1955, Murray rose to become a television agent, and eventually the behind-the-scenes partner with Merv Griffin to create many of the most successful game shows in TV history, several of which are still on the air today, including Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune. Murray launched and produced numerous successful shows and pioneered several television business strategies, including the whole concept of television syndication. Murray's father managed the famous Red Mill burlesque nightclub in the Bronx, New York. It was there, as a kid in the 1950s, that he became enamored with entertainment. He met Moe Gold, the quintessential talent agent; cigar, flashy suits, loud ties always with a wad of cash. Moe told him to try for a job at the William Morris Agency; at the time it was the "Rolls Royce" in the industry - known only as the Morris Office. So, at age 17, Murray got a job in their famed mailroom, where other notables also began their careers: David Geffen, Ron Meyer, Irwin Winkler, Jerry Weintraub, to name just a few of "the boys in the mailroom" who did just fine. Even Abe Lastfogel, who became the brains and head of the entire Morris Office, started in the mailroom, back when William Morris Sr. was the boss. 2021 marks Richard Skipper's 42nd year in New York. He is an entertainer, MC, HOST, Interviewer. His show Streams on Most platforms. Under the guise of Richard Skipper Celebrates, he has conducted over 1000 interviews celebrating people in the arts.  RichardSkipper.com

Follow him as he shares his adventures of going from the mailroom of the William Morris Agency, to becoming the right hand man of the mob-connected agent to the stars, George Wood, and then rose through the ranks to be an important theatrical agent. Not satisfied with being only an agent to the stars, he resigned from the agency to create Merv Griffin Enterprises, which soon became a conglomerate that created Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. One eventful day in 1971, Merv Griffin asked Murray if he'd consider moving to California to create a new company. Murray accepted the towering challenge. The company that he began, comprised of Merv, Murray and a secretary, became an extraordinarily successful corporation: Merv Griffin Enterprises. Schwartz was named President and CEO. They produced Jeopardy, The Wheel of Fortune, Dance Fever, Headline Chasers and others. Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune are still on the air today with worldwide versions, as a result of Murray's pioneering inventiveness.

For some time now I've been in spaces with dancers and dance scholars who lament the amount of available research on some of the black luminaries in our field. Sometimes the need for a particular project is present for so long that its absence is taken for granted and treated as the norm. One of the “missing” but “much needed” projects I've heard talked about over the years is a book length treatment of the work of modern dance pioneer and scholar Dr. Pearl Primus. I'm really glad that her dear friends, Peggy and Murray Schwartz decided to fill that empty space with their latest project that is as much scholarly research as it is a homage to their very dear friend. For the entirety of her 74-year lifespan, Dr. Primus worked tirelessly and diligently as a dancer, choreographer, and anthropologist bringing the value of African culture to students and audience members around the globe. Though Primus studied and honed her approach to contemporary dance right alongside well known artists like Martha Graham, Doris Humphrey and Hanya Holm her work, while known to some has not been celebrated in the same way for its enduring impact. Pearl's career began in 1943 as she began sharing dance works that infused her commitment to social justice and racial commentary with her approach to concert dance. In The Dance Claimed Me: A Biography of Pearl Primus (Yale University Press, 2012), Peggy Schwartz and Murray Schwartz, examine the ways in which Pearl's career influenced dance, education and culture, charting her life story through its beginnings in Trinidad and work with the New Dance Group up to and through her later years. Dr. Primus's extensive travels through Africa, the Caribbean, Israel, the United States and Europe are discussed in this book and presented as an example of what the life of a committed dancer, scholar and humanitarian can look like through hard work and dedication. Peggy and Murray were longtime personal friends of Primus decided to take on the task of cementing her name in the literature by crafting a tender, thoughtful and soaring biography that focuses on not only her creative work but her lasting impact on the contemporary dance landscape. Peggy Schwartz is professor emeritus of dance and former director of the dance program at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Murray Schwartz is former dean of humanities and fine arts at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He teaches literature at Emerson College. Learn more about your ad choices.
