Of course I can't find anything on their website, but I just saw a promo promising "Play It Again: Game Show Reunion Week on GMA." They mentioned three game shows that would be played on Good Morning America next week (starting Monday, 8/18/2008).
Mentioned in the promo was Let's Make A Deal with Monty Hall, The Newlywed Game with Bob Eubanks, and Gambit with Wink Martindale.
-
Monty Hall will be on Monday's episode.
-
The Gambit day should be interesting.

I just think it's kinda humorous that they get two shows that to this day, get regular airplay on GSN, and aired in various incarnations each decade. Then, you get...Gambit.

Unless there's a GSN tie-in, at which Gambit, obviously Catch 21 in disguise, meets the criteria for a 'reunion' week that Catch 21 doesn't.
Unless you want to reunite Alfonso with the thin pants he hasn't seen since his dancing days.

Probably because he ate those pants.
/Sure looks that way.

Wink has to host the Gambit special next week in order for the show to be even slightly recognized.
-
Well, no surprise on NG, and LMAD since they were ABC. Does Richard Dawson even appear in public anymore or not? That would have been a good one for them to do, just to piss off Big Al Roker if nothing else.
/ABC Celebrity Feud is way better than the NBC remake

Plus, "Gambit" never aired on ABC. Give me Jim Peck and "The Big Showdown."

The person who did the promo didn't really do their homework, either..
/MONTE hall?

I'll take The Money Maze instead :)

Yeah, it would be nice to see Nick again. Heck, he could even bring along his son. :)

Having seen and enjoyed Al Roker since his days as weatherman at Then-NBC owned WKYC-TV in Cleveland (1978-83)..Indications are that hes a pretty good guy on and off the air..I seriously doubt he would care at all..
-
Me thinks Fred Westbrook/Wostbrock has something to do with Wink and 'Gambit' being featured. Why not 'Tic Tac Dough'? Isn't that what Wink did on Today a few years ago? And to think Fred didn't get TK to show up to wax poetic about 'Split Second'...

Per Wikipedia (http://\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall\") (and take that for what it's worth), his name has "sometimes" been spelled Monte. I've never seen that, though.

Perhaps they were copying his name from the box lid of the home version of Your First Impression.
Re: Wink and Gambit. Wink hosted a demo of the game on some talk show several years ago and no card greater than a seven was dealt. I hope they shuffle, rather than stack, the deck this time!

A day after LMAD and nothing?
I thought Monty looked decent. I unfortunately missed most of the sit-down interview with him, but did catch him hosting the attempt at the show. Monty took his sweet time with the "contestants," and I could feel the GMA anchors trying to push him along -- they had more show to do, after all.
I saw him live a couple of years ago at a local casino, hosting a more full-fledged version of LMAD. He seemed a little lost then, too, but I understand that one isn't always going to be 100% in their later years.
Anyone else catch the Good Morning America segments?
-
When did Monte sell out to Fremantle Media? All of the LMAD clips had a "Fremantle Media" bug on them. Or did I miss a thread somewhere?

Here's a YouTube clip (http://\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWET3AJ66-I\") from the 70's that showed his other spelling. It's a Canadian PSA advising people to participate in the Variety Club bike race to benefit the charity.
/Monty has done some yearly 18-hour telethons with Channel 6 in Philly (done at the long-gone Philadelphia Civic Center) until 1992(?) that supported our local Variety Club.

GMA doesn't really allow a direct link(since it's a javascript for the copy link) anyhow, but just enter Monty Hall in the search and it will show up.
On the LMAD thing, we know that they've been Fremantle per the letsmakeadeal.com site, plus the fact it was part of "Game Show Marathon" in '06.

Not sure when, but LMaD was featured in Ricki's Game Show Marathon, which featured Fremantle shows.

Wasn't Fremantle involved with international licensing of the "Deal" format? That would have been their entree to acquiring rights to the domestic format from Monty.

Fremantle did license the show internationally, but they did not have format and show rights here in the states until the Game Show Marathon in 2006. Also, Fremantle only owns LMAD. They do not have rights to the rest of the Hatos-Hall library. Monty also still owns the copyright to the Let's Make A Deal name.
