Lets make a Deal - Pilot in 1963 - This 37 minute pilot, produced on May 25, 1963 with Monty Hall led to the series becoming a regular scheduled program
“Let’s Make A Deal” hosted by Monte Hall debuted on NBC during the daytime last week. This show is one of the most innovative 30 minutes in television this year.
Would be contestants dress up in colorful outfits to get Monte’s attention. He’ll offer them $ 50.in cash on the spot if they can produce from their handbags such items as a hardboiled egg, a picture of their elementary school gym teacher, a hair curler, etc… Once they get paid off, they are offered the chance to trade for a box or maybe what is behind door # 1,2, or 3. They might win a living room set, a trip to Hawaii, a washer dryer, or maybe a lonely smelly goat. From rags to riches and sometimes back, this show is fun, a little bizarre, and full of laughs. Find time to watch it !
