Monty Hall, Who Knew What Was Behind Door Number Three As Host And Co-Creator Of ‘Let’s Make A Deal,’ Has Died At 96

In more than 5000 airings of Let’s Make a Deal, Mr. Hall had quite a few jobs – traffic cop, smooth-talking salesman and more. “‘Monty had to be a very likable con man; he had to convince people to give up a bird in the hand for what’s in the box,’ David Schwartz, the author, with Fred Wostbrock and Steve Ryan, of ‘The Encyclopedia of TV Game Shows,’ said in an interview.”
