When two classic games come together...(2020)

One of the benefits of Fremantle Media acquiring not only the Mark Goodson library, but also Monty Hall's seminal game, Let's Make a Deal, was an opportunity to mash Deal together with the show that follows it in most of the country, The Price is Right. Last month, with CBS' blessing, the experiment went into full effect.

Deal's current host, super-busy Wayne Brady (also on Black Lightning and Whose Line is it Anyway?), welcomed his old boss on Whose Line, Price host Drew Carey, and Price announcer George Gray, who also knows a little something about being an MC (ex-The Weakest Link) for a week of mash-up episodes that aired March 23-27.

Full episodes, of course, are not available on YouTube without posters running the risk of losing accounts if Fremantle decided to enforce copyrights. Here, Wayne & George lead a contestant through the Dice Game, a popular Price feature....



Proof that winning is not guaranteed. Thinking George will guest-host if Drew Carey takes a vacation.....

Rating: A.
