Priscilla was kind enough to indulge her followers, including one who asked what shows she enjoyed watching with Elvis. She responded via a clip, noting that Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In was one of their favorite shows. Each episode featured different celebrity guests, including Goldie Hawn. Priscilla shared a snippet from the program, adding that it was a new and daring show at the time.

Per further explanation, Elvis also loved Get Smart and The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, whose monologues he looked forward to. She recalled going straight to the movies with her late ex-husband right after watching Carson. Fans were grateful for her time and urged her to do more Q&A sessions about life with Elvis.

Saving Graceland

Since Elvis’ death, Graceland and the Presley household have experienced changes, including financial challenges, which Priscilla helped curb by opening Graceland to the public in 1982. Priscilla transformed the estate into a revenue-generating asset thanks to her business acumen, multiplying its value tremendously to about $500 million.

Graceland recently came under threat of being sold after a scam lending company alleged that it was collateral for a $3.8 million debt owed by Priscilla’s late daughter, Lisa Marie. Thankfully, the property sale has been suspended, with Lisa Marie’s daughter, Riley Keough, having sole ownership of the estate based on the will.
