At first I thought that a new Let's Make A Deal wouldn't go over well in these oh-so-hip, ironic times. Who wants to go on television in front of millions of people dressed like a hot dog or a robot and embarrass themselves? And then I remembered that people go on TV nowadays to eat bugs, frolic naked in hot tubs, and showcase their children to the world, so dressing up like food products and fire hydrants will probably seem quaint now.
CBS will start filming the new version of the game show on September 15, and tickets for the show are available at the network's web site. The show, which will now be hosted by Wayne Brady but co-produced by former host Monty Hall, is going to take the place of Guiding Light, which ends its 72 year run on September 18.
I hope they still give Rice-A-Roni and goats as prizes.
