'Let's Make a Deal' host, Monty Hall dead at 96
'Let's Make A Deal' host Monty Hall dead at 96
Monty Hall, best known as the co-creator and host of the game show "Let's Make a Deal," died Saturday. He was 96.
Hall's daughter Sharon said her father died of heart failure at his home in Beverly Hills, Calif.
"Let's Make a Deal" debuted as a daytime show on NBC in 1963 and became a TV staple. Through the next four decades, it also aired in prime time, in syndication and, in two brief outings, with hosts other than Hall at the helm.
An episode of "The Odd Couple" featured Felix Unger (Tony Randall) and Oscar Madison (Jack Klugman) as bickering guests on Hall's program.
Contestants were chosen from the studio audience -- outlandishly dressed as animals, clowns or cartoon characters to attract the host's attention -- and would start the game by trading an item of their own for a prize. After that, it was matter of swapping the prize in hand for others hidden behind doors, curtains or in boxes, presided over by the leggy, smiling Carol Merrill.
The query "Do you want Door No. 1, No. 2 or No. 3?" became a popular catch phrase, and the chance of winning a new car a matter of primal urgency. Prizes could be a car or a mink coat or a worthless item dubbed a "zonk."

When we stand before Jesus, he is not going to ask what everyone else told you to do....
He is going to ask "what did I tell you to do?" Press on!
