CBS Brings Game Show Antique to the Network
With soap opera relic Guiding Light going off the air, CBS is looking at a daytime programming gap they haven’t had to worry about for six decades. You see, Guiding Light is so dusty is used to run on CBS radio. It’s been on CBS TV since 1952. That is a long-running show.
Time to hit the panic button now. So what’s CBS going to do to fill the gap left by this extremely old (and obviously highly successful) daytime drama? How about dredging up an almost equally-ancient game show and shoving it back onto the schedule?
And I’m pretty sure that’s how the pitch went when the network decided to breathe new life into Let’s Make a Deal, that “choose a door” delight once emceed by the irreplaceable Monty Hall. Will you ride away in a brand new car…or get stuck with a goat?
Read More According to gossip, the only host being considered for the job behind door number one is Wayne Brady, which I believe to be a monumentally bad decision (and about par for the course for the network that stuck Drew Carey into Bob Barker’s hosting spot). Let’s Make a Deal primarily ran on NBC and ABC from 1963 to 1976, featuring contestants in crazy costumes and a host that had all the panache to make the thing just silly enough without going over the top. “The show has all kinds of staying power,” Monty Hall said of the decision. You can currently catch episodes of the original version on GSN. “It’s not going to be much different,” said Hall of the new version of the game show. “You don’t tinker with a great format.” The pilot has already been filmed, with Wayne Brady at the helm of the hosting gig. “He was terrific,” Hall said of Brady’s hosting ability.
