Currently celebrating its 60th anniversary, which makes it one of the longest-running game shows in television history, CBS has scheduled a special Diamond Jubilee episode of “Let’s Make a Deal” to air in primetime in honor of the veteran daytime series.
Starting with a rousing opening number, titled “Working for the Dealin’” led by host Wayne Brady and his musical group, “Dëaler,” the one-hour special episode airs Wednesday, January 24 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT as part of “Let’s Make a Deal Primetime” and 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 episode 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.
Watch a preview clip of the special primetime episode below.
Now in its 15th consecutive season on CBS with Wayne Brady as host, the current cast of “Let’s Make a Deal” includes announcer Jonathan Mangum, who is also marking 15 years on the show, model Tiffany Coyne and musician Cat Gray.
