"Let's Make a Deal Primetime" returns on Wednesday, Jan. 24, at 8:00 PM, Central on CBS Lake Charles, with a special Diamond Jubilee episode honoring the 60th broadcast anniversary of "Let's Make a Deal" as one of the longest-running game shows in television history,
Complete with a rousing opening number, “Working for the Dealin’” led by Wayne Brady and his musical group, “Dëaler,” the special episode offers up over $600,000 in prizes in the show’s trademark games, including a guaranteed $60,000 cash prize, a chance to win an Aston Martin valued at over $300,000, and more, as long as contestants can avoid the dreaded Zonks. The show also pays tribute to its original stars – host and creator Monty Hall and model Carol Merrill – with an antique living room setup from the ‘60s, classic clips and sentimental memories of Monty and Wayne together.
This season of the daytime show also marks Emmy Award winner Wayne Brady’s 15th anniversary of his signature improvisational and musical stylings as host, beginning in 2009. Along with Brady, the cast includes announcer Jonathan Mangum, who is also marking 15 years on the show, model Tiffany Coyne and musician Cat Gray. "Let's Make a Deal" originally premiered on Dec. 30, 1963, hosted by the late Monty Hall, model Carol Merrill and announcer Jay Stewart.
