After looking at the new Aussie of Sale Of The Century, which is called Temptation, I was thinking...

Is it possible that FremantleMedia would ever consider bringing this show to US shores?

Based on what I've seen, and with the blockbuster ratings in Australia, it would be great if they made the show for the US.. most likely for syndication though since networks don't care about game shows in their lineups.

Good time slots in syndication are pretty much locked up and the earliest it could be launched properly is September of 2006.  I'd shoot for a short-run network primetime tryout, then go from there.  I would change the title from "Temptation" to "Sale of the Millenium"
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.

We'll compromise. Call it Temptation Of The Millennium. Jen Carfagno could be the hostess. She's my "temptation of the millennium" anyhow. Is that soap store open at this hour?

I like that idea!  How about Joe Farago as host?

So Chris, I take it you like these ideas or am I reading you wrong?

He loves them all. Which is why he's going to be our producer. I dare any staff member to give him lip.

We may see something if Deal or No Deal is a hit here. Then maybe Fremantle will use Sale to compete with it.

We had a big money revolution in 1999/2000, but if Deal becomes a hit, we may have an Australian revolution in 2005/2006.

One other thing- does anybody have an idea of who might be the host of Deal or No Deal?
