    The Griff was a smarmy, pompous ass,

    whose favorite interview subject was ... himself! He never shut up about how great he was or how many famous people he hung with. Sorry, he may have been rich - but what a complete B-list entertainer. I hope the man is in heaven cause my idea of hell would be to spend eternity anywhere near Mr. Smiley.
