Aging Jack Benny invited Monte Hall to lunch with him one day. He wanted to tell him how AMAZING it was for an entire half hour to improvise with strangers unscripted on Let's Make A Deal. Hall told him it is always about the guests from the audience, their excitement, choices and that he only 'oversaw' the fun. Benny thought this talent was quite underrated.
The best hosts understand that the contestants are the real stars, and they (the hosts) are just facilitators. That said, it takes real talent to know when to drive, and when to let things flow by themselves.
+Dan Barker It was also one of only two times that he did a show that wasn't with his own company. "Beat the Clock" was for Goodson & Todman. A show he did before "Let's Make a Deal", "Video Village", was produced by Heatter & Quigley.
When this show was aired on NBC daytime, this is or was the last day of me at Foothill Developmental School at 140 S. 5th Avenue in Monrovia, CA. Also, this is or was the last day of summer school in the non-SLDC version--the eighth and final complete week. Also, tonight on "Tic Tac Dough" in reruns, it was contestant Pieter DeVries' first $100,000 total win episode.

Monty Hall was a few weeks away from hosting his only CBS game show Beat the Clock.

"Video Village" aired on CBS 1960-62.
Wait, what was that one contestant's name? Just a coincidence that he's there when Monty Hall is on the show.

Monty Hall somewhat looks like present-day Paul McCartney lol
Rules keep changing
This episode was the most disappointing in the responses given. 😟
Janet Lennon seems very nice--but she's a terrible Password Plus player.
What is wrong with these people
Would Palestinian have been a good clue for Israel?
