TV show description:
This long-running game show is hosted by Monty Hall. He picks the contestants at random from the audience and makes them deals that cannot be refused. Initially, Hall chose who would compete in advance and contestants would arrive in suits and dresses. That all changed when an audience member wore a costume to get his attention. From that point on, those desperate to win a prize would dress as crazy as their imaginations could conjure.
Some deals are made when Hall awards cash to audience members for having certain items with them or even if their driver’s license or a serial number on their money contains a certain digit. The bigger deals Hall offers to audience members are either games of skill or pure chance. Some include Monty awarding a contestant with a concealed prize and then allowing them the opportunity to trade it for another that was hidden behind a curtain or inside of a box. If they make the right choice, they win a more valuable prize. If they make a poor choice, they walk away with a “zonk.”
Zonks could be any number of items but some include a giant rocking chair, a Holstein cow, 25 pounds of cottage cheese, a mule, or a T-shirt that reads, “I was ZONKED by Monty Hall!” But zonk or no zonk, Hall’s deals are often a risk worth taking.
I’m trying to find episode 9 July 1976, my sister and I were on the main floor.
I was in the last episode 9 July 1976, does anyone know where I can find a copy?
Did they cancel Lets Make A Deal? We no longer get it in Philadelphia on Channel 3.
I think you should give out the shirts that say ” I have been zonked”.
Also, once on Let’s Make a Deal or Price Is Right, the prize was a craft room.
Now that is something I would want to win! As much as I would like to go on a trip out of the country, I would not, so trips to U.S. cities would be my choice. Ex: Washington DC, a trip down the Mississippi, Amish Country in PA, Daytona Beach, trips like that. Thanks for reading !
Why did let’s make a deal with Wayne Brady get cancelled
Let’s Make A Deal is not Let’s Make A Deal without Monty Hall. Thank goodness for YouTube and the Buzzr Network for playing the classic Hall episodes in the days when television was worth watching. Not the junk produced today.
Prizes r so old fashion. Wayne and the cast need to stop singing.
