Game show legend Monty Hall presided over the various incarnations of Let’s Make a Deal for more than 20 years. Though the current version is a success for CBS, don’t expect Wayne Brady to stick around for that long.
In a recent interview, Brady expressed that he doesn’t want the job to go on and on and noted that Let’s Make a Deal has turned out to be a lot more consuming than he expected.
He told Beck/Smith, “Everything always turns out to be harder then I expect it to be. Whenever I tell myself, ‘Oh, I can do this in my sleep,’ it turns out to be more difficult than I imagined.”
The energetic performer also said, “To be honest, I have no desire to turn into the king of game shows. I consider myself an actor foremost, and a writer and singer, and I still tour and do Broadway shows.”
Brady previously hosted Don’t Forget the Lyrics for FOX but reportedly turned down the opportunity to do The Price Is Right and Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?. If given the chance, he’d like to take on a sitcom, but only if it’s truly funny and comparable to current standouts like Modern Family, 30 Rock or How I Met Your Mother (where he has guested a couple times, as Barney’s brother).
What do you think? Would you like to see Brady stay with Let’s Make a Deal or would you like to see a different host?
Wayne Brady isn’t even funny anymore. He should move over and let someone genuine take over. I believe there are certain games when he actually leads the contestants to chose the winning prize. His Dr Wayne is stupid! His jokes are tired. I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels like this.
Yes I would like for Wayne Brady to stay
He’s the best. Give him more
Pay Wayne all he wants he is fantastic no one can replace him.
Love the show. The camaraderie between the cast is great, they seem to have a great time together and with the contestants. The show is more like a variety show with such talented individuals. Great show great cast watch it everyday. Hope it is renewed and the cast stays together.
The black man with the afro today(01/07/2019, received two zonks in both prizes. He did not have a chance to win any thing. Why was that?
I love love love the show.All my friends watch.. But… I understand Wayne is an awesomely talented actor so he deserves a sitcom
Loved watching the show at 9:0o CST and will miss it. I will not be watching unfortunately at 3:00 PM
Brady is so full of himself that it stinks!!!!!!!!!! The red head guy is an idiot and the model is not too bright!!!!!! Get rid of all 3.
I think Wayne is great….I can understand him wanting to leave. I love the show, either way I hope it stays on.
I would like the show to continue
