"Let's Make a Deal," one of the most popular television game shows of the 1960’s and 70’s is back with a new host, Wayne Brady.
A pilot for the new revived show will be taped at CBS this week. The format for the new show seems to be the same as it was when the show first aired.
Just before taping, contestants will be randomly selected from the studio audience for a chance to win! Contestants will be given the choice to play for a certain prize or trade it in for one that's hidden behind a curtain or door. The risk is either getting a fantastic prize like a First-Class Trip to Hawaii or a "dud" prize.
The "dud" prize reveal is usually a stunt like Wayne Bradydressed as an old
granny in a giant rocking chair? The decision-making is exciting and suspenseful and the audience is always in on the fun. And everyone wears costumes! The more creative or
outrageous costumes are picked for contestants. Whether the pilot will be picked up
by CBS or another network is not known. The game shows taping fuels speculation that CBS will be replacing long running soap opera Guiding Light,which ends in September, with a more budget-friendly game show in it's time slot.
