Let's Make A Deal

When Guiding Light's extinguished on September 18, starting October 5, the wheel & deal trading game show comes to CBS for the first time, having the rare distinction of being on all 3 networks (Price Is Right, Match Game & Password are the others). Wayne Brady (Don't Forget The Lyrics) will be tv's new big dealer.

In case your not familiar; costumed contestants compete in games where they could trade unknowns for what's behing the big box, small box or curtain. Players can win big or end up being ZONKED! (gag prize; a junk car, live animals, etc.). Then near the end of the show, they can trade in their winnings for a chance @ the Big Deal.

Why is this such a big deal (pardon the pun) to me?

1). I'm a game show fan (surprised?).

2). There hasn't been another network daytime game show in 15 years (NBC's Caesar's Challenge had that honor).

3). CBS's last network game was Family Feud Challenge (Ray Combs) back in 1993.

Wayne Brady had seemingly dropped off the map for awhile...I had just read about this in the newspaper this morning. I'm sure he's glad to have the job.
