Pyramid isn’t the only game show CBS is looking at to bring back to daytime to fill the gap left by recently canceled soap opera Guiding Light. CBS is looking to develop the classic trading game show Let’s Make A Deal to place in the afternoon slot. Fremantle bought the the rights to the fan-favorite classic in early 2009 and has been bringing it back around the world. Australia shot a pilot for a revival for Channel 9 and a Craigslist posting was recently looking for Americans to fly to Australia to tape a pilot of a game show all involving trading and dealing. Hosts are being brought into Monty’s offices this week to do run-throughs.
Monty Hall hosted and co-produced the original version beginning in the 60s and lasting through the 70s. Several revivals have come and gone through the years; the most recent being an NBC primetime revival in 2003 hosted by Billy Bush which only lasted three episodes. CBS has been looking at alternative programming to replace the canceled soap Guiding Light. A revival of The $25,000 Pyramid from Embassy Row was originally announced to be in the running. Let’s Make A Deal is the second known game show to be developed for a daytime revival.
Actual journalism mode over and blog mode on. I can’t think of a better daytime game show block for the genre fans than Pyramid, Let’s Make A Deal, and The Price is Right.

I can’t see LMAD getting a long run ever again, that 2003 version was God awful, the bigger prize budgets (which you really need now) take away from the game, becuase I really don’t think too many people would deal for say $500, it’s nothing anymore on a game show. but if you go too high on the offers then the excitement’s gone because that element of risk is gone. remember when Greed added the $200,000 safety net, that just killed it. but then again LMAD would be a nice compliment to TPIR similar games back to back. Pyramid could still very much work today, because the winner’s circle is so intense the contestant could be playing for a sandwich and it would still be exciting. the money doesn’t matter.

Wow! That would be a massive way to return to more daytime game shows.
I don’t think many people outside the game show community remembers the 2003 revival with Billy Bush. It lasted 3 episodes, and thusly never really made an impact. It can only get better from there…well…wait…Fremantle is producing it…so it CAN get worse…Let’s just hope that since they’re still letting Monty Hall have a place in producing the show that the show will be quality.
Surprisingly, I actually liked the 2003 version. I thought Billy Bush sucked, and the first deal with reaching into kilts really killed it, but other than that, i thought it was very well modernized.
Posted on May 4th, 2009 at 5:25 am
It’s simple. Just double everything. $500 becomes $1,000.
Instead of a big prize budget, go for a medium-sized budget (maybe Big Deal worth $30K-$60K).

If CBS wants to put game shows on, they can put game shows on. It doesn’t matter what the stations think. Plus, why would putting game shows on to compliment TPiR or to fill in the time slot left by Guiding Light be affected by the View taking viewers from TPiR? This has nothing to do with ratings for TPiR or the View. Frankly, in markets where Guiding Light airs at 10 AM and TPiR at 11, we’d see a 2 hour block of game shows. My thought is that CBS might mandate a move of the network timeslot to 10 AM, or at least the hour preceding TPiR, to facilitate that across the country. That might turn into some higher ratings for TPiR, I should hope. Plus, they’re not going with unknowns in these slots. With LMaD and/or Pyramid, they have shows with established fan bases and histories. They will hopefully succeed. Plus, ratings expectations for game shows are less because they are easier and cheaper to produce. So, if a cheaper Pyramid and LMaD get lower ratings than Guiding Light, if it ends up making more money for CBS, they’re not gonna care about the lower ratings.
Posted on May 4th, 2009 at 8:45 am
Keep in mind, that the only reason the NBC version of LMaD got canceled was the episode where the ladies had to reach up the men’s hula-skirts. Apparently the show was to risque for Americans. *sigh* Wouldn’t happen in the UK, they’d just tell kids to go out and count mufflers.

If done right, this would be a nice redux. The key is Monty being on-board and having input. He didn’t have so much in the NBC primetime version and he learned his lesson from that, as the franchise was tarnished. Monty himself said that in the old days the Super Deal didn’t make a difference…more money does not equal better game. Still, you could have some very nice cars and trips on the show, and it would be very exciting. Same with the Big Deal of the Day, anything close to being on par with Price showcases and it would do fine. Imagine, another show with actual PRIZES to give away… And let’s not forget those Zonks.
Ideas on who would be a good host? Got to have someone confident, good on their feet, good at building suspense, and great interacting with contestants. Who today can do that? Actually, Ryan Seacrest would be a natural, and though he is on Fox, Fremantle could perhaps swing getting him for a daytime Deal, unless he’s too busy. Need a good young talent to carry on the franchise.
Apart from host, another key will be who the assistant / announcer is. The dynamic is important especially for those zonks. Fremantle announcer Rich Fields could be perfect for this show (he has a similar feel of enthusiasm and humor as Jay Stewart did). Again, ideas?
Posted on May 4th, 2009 at 9:14 am
Here’s what I’m thinking:
10/9: Super Pyramid (my personal title for the Pyramid revival)
10:30/9:30: Let’s Make a Deal (the perfect compliment for……..)
11/10: The Price Is Right
Make sense?
To Julia: Everything you said is true because 1) they would be a nice compliment to TPIR, and 2) giving both these show’s storied histories, CBS affiliates would foam out the mouth to get them, especially seeing as the latter never been on the network and the former has been a hit in the ’80s. In fact, the majority of stations would probably give up the 10/9 slot just for that and fill the 3/2 time slot for syndicated shows such as Dr. Phil or The Doctors (which CBS O&O airs and the former already airs in that slot on WCBS in New York). But I do disagree with putting it after TPIR mainly because many of the stations air either local news (mainly in the eastern and pacific time zones) or The Young & the Restless.
To facetheunashuflr: You may be the only one who sees it. You might be one of those people who would want CBS to air a talk show in GL’s time slot, which is fine but this isn’t talkshowblog, this is buzzerblog.

Note to Fremantle:
Don’t screw this one up. Please, for the love of God, get someone to host who isn’t a stand-up comedian. Hire someone, like, say, Todd Newton, Mark L. Walberg, or even Marc Summers. No D-listers as hosts, please. And above all else, no stupid deal stunts (especially the ones from 1994’s “The Big Deal” and 2003’s “LMAD”). Keep the deals reasonable without aiming too low or going overboard (no one’s going to back out of a deal if they’re offered only $500 anymore, even if they’re doing poorly in their deal).
As for the rest, well, just ask Mr. Monty Hall himself. Good luck (you’ll need it, and then some).
Posted on May 4th, 2009 at 11:39 am
I truly hope this happens. Nuff said.
Posted on May 4th, 2009 at 12:08 pm
Wow, a Pyramid-Deal block on CBS? Exciting news! To echo Devon, I really hope it happens (and that it’s done well).
Posted on May 4th, 2009 at 2:10 pm
Just make the bloody announcement already!! (and make these shows truly exciting. Also, no dumb set designs either!)

Posted on May 4th, 2009 at 2:34 pm
This is definitely a good block to have. As for Ryan Seacrest hosting, while that’s a good idea in theory, the execution of said idea might not work too well.
First of all, he’s on FOX and even if this is at a time slot that FOX doesn’t compete against at all, it might irk them for him to go to a competing network nonetheless. Also most of his time is spent with Idol which runs from January to about September if you count the auditions for the next season if I have the dates right (correct me if I made a mistake somewhere)
I could really see Rich Fields actually hosting this show. He’s got the energy and excitement that LMaD is famous for and he can keep the suspense going on a very big deal. As for announcer, your guess would be as good as mine.
Posted on May 4th, 2009 at 3:26 pm
Fremantle: Study the following – PLEASE!:
1. Vintage LMAD. ’nuff said.
Dos: Univision’s “Trato Hecho.” They did it right – and in Spanish.
3. Any other version of LMAD after ‘86. They did it wrong, and even Monty couldn’t save them.
Host: Marc Summers or Mark L. Wallberg. These two would be Mel Kiper Jr.’s Best Available if this were the NFL Draft.
Model: Shane Stirling, late of Price (though Brandi Sherwood handled the duty on the ‘07 GS Marathon). Actually, just about anyone who’s been a regular over the last several years on that show would fit in just fine here – ‘cept Gabrielle. Never liked her. Fallback: Elizabeth Flores from “Trato Hecho.” Oh, and we only need ONE model.
Announcer: I haven’t the foggiest idea, but whomever it is had better have some camera presence, be able to lift a box with some flair, and look good – damn good – in oversize baby wear.
One more thing. It worked fine on Univision, but I’d leave out the guys in overalls. Carol Merrill never needed any outside assistants. She had Jay.
Posted on May 4th, 2009 at 3:29 pm
Randy West might make a good announcer, or they could use vance Degeneres from the failed 2003 version.
Posted on May 4th, 2009 at 3:32 pm
I don’t know why, but I see Burton Richardson as a good fit for the announcing role on LMaD. He’s really good at announcing, and is a really great guy from what I recall from the time I met him on the set of “Family Feud”.
Posted on May 4th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
I see a lot a good names for host. Roger Lodge of Blind Date would be a pretty good host, or Mark L. Walberg (that is if Fox don’t screw him over like they did Trivial Pursuit). As for announcer/assistant, sure Rich Fields would be perfect. So would Burton Richardson, Randy West, or Vance DeGeneres (Ellen’s bro who announced the 2003 train wreck on NBC). The models? Your guess will be as good as mine.
Posted on May 4th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
Pyramid, LMaD, and TPiR (not necessarily in that order) would not only make an excellent trio — but also flashes back to the ’80s.
For much of the decade, The $25K Pyramid aired at 10:00am Eastern, some other game at 10:30 (either Child’s Play, PYL, CS, NYSI or WOF; literally depends on the year) and TPiR at 11:00. (Of course, your time slots may have varied depending on where you were living in the ’80s).
Posted on May 4th, 2009 at 5:51 pm
This is going to be a very tricky show to pull off in daytime this go round. Back in the golden days of LMAD, contestants were very real in their reactions to winning prizes. When someone was chosen and jumped out of their seats, the reactions were truly genuine; a housewife from Indiana finally getting a chance to win a honeymoon or a new car. Men were finally getting to have their fifteen minutes of fame on tv dressed as a farmer .. or sometimes even a farmer’s wife. With television production the way it is nowadays, I wouldn’t be surprised to see actors or actor wannabees faking the reactions on the show. This show would never work with just your current day pretty people; they would really have to go back to the days of choosing your average Joe to play each deal.
Now on to the host. Monty was not only the creator and EP of the show, he was the king of corralling the show. Each deal was like a musical piece, where every move and every question had to be carefully orchestrated and executed; one wrong note and the whole deal falls apart. Not many people come to mind who I think could host this show .. Dave Price, Mark Summers..and yes Penn GIllette are a few that I can think of. But overall, the host has to have the focus on the show and on the contestants, not on him/herself.
And finally a bit of historical significance here. If CBS does pick up LMAD it will join a handful of shows that have the distinction of appearing on the each of the big three major networks: ABC, CBS and NBC, Other shows that have done that are Password (and its various incarnations); The Price is Right (Cullen NBC & ABC, Barker & Carey CBS), and To Tell the Truth. It will be the ONLY show to appear on all FOUR networks (the 90’s ill-fated Big Deal, although it can be debated as to whether or not that actually counts) Also, LMAD has already joined Price, To Tell the Truth, Hollywood Squares (both network and syndicated runs) and The Newlywed Game in being a game show that has appeared on televison in each of the last five decades (Price and TTTT the last six).
Posted on May 5th, 2009 at 1:00 am
Step, the REAL reason 2003 was cancelled? Two words: American Idol.
Minus Seacrest (out), I’d be on board with any of these host/announcer combos. That would be quality.
Even better would be (if it’s the 10am spot) that according to current schedule that would give Ctown THREE STRAIGHT HOURS of game shows. Right now, we have Feud/Burn-off of Crosswords @ 9 and Feud/TP:ASleeps @ 10. Then after TPIR and the news they still have some free time at 12:30, so who knows what will happen.
Posted on May 5th, 2009 at 1:05 am
To Seth D.: IIRC, the NBC version of TTTT had future talk show host, Gordon Elliott, Lynn Swann, and Alex Trebek, who’s the only game show host to host 3 shows at once (To Tell the Truth, Classic Concentration, and, of course, Jeopardy!), I also know that it started out on CBS, but, if my memory serves me correctly (and because I was born in ‘77), I don’t remember To Tell the Truth being on ABC, unless the 2001-2002 version aired on the ABC affiliate where you live, thus it won’t count as being on ABC.
Also noted, it would be a good argument to figure out if The Big Deal would count as an incarnation of Let’s Make a Deal since it was more Truth or Consequences than LMAD.
Posted on May 5th, 2009 at 11:21 am
Well, I say that would make a good block for daytime game shows on CBS. Pyramid at 10, Let’s Make a Deal at 10:30, and The Price is Right at 11. If the eye network goes ahead with these plans, perhaps it may prompt NBC to get some daytime game shows of their own, considering they only have one soap, Days of Our Lives. I could probably think of a couple of shows they could add to their schedule. Concentration, anyone?
Posted on May 5th, 2009 at 2:01 pm
Hmmmm… where’s Whew! or Big Showdown or The Joker’s Wild on the consideration list for CBS daytime Yes – I can’t wait to see what happens when GL has it’s big send-off!
Posted on May 5th, 2009 at 3:33 pm
Seth, I couldn’t agree with you more, except I wouldn’t touch Penn Gillette with asbestos gloves; he’s way too acerbic, and he has an ego that would make Barker AND Richard Dawson combined, look like models of humility. Good as he is, Wahlberg doesn’t quite strike me as being a “fit” for LMAD Marc Summers, Todd Newton, or Dave Price get my votes to host. Vance DeGeneres as announcer? I dunno, Davey… Rich FIelds may already have a full plate, although I agree he could possibly pull it off hosting (but, with his TPIR schedule and all, would Fremental, er, uh, FreMANTLE wanna pony up some “serious gelt?”)
Speaking of which, never mind the NBC debalce Billy Bushit hosted; nor BIG DEAL on the Fux Network (spelling intentional, here). I may have overlooked this, if someone else posted it…but, (otherwise) no one mentioned the 1990 version on NBC, with Bob HIlton as host, who regretfully was yanked, and Monty Hall himself had to (try to) salvage things, only for the show to go away after 13 weeks. Fremantle needs to be very, very mindful of the mistakesd and trangressions of past versions of LMAD that have failed. Especially since they still have lots o’splaining to do about MILLION DOLLAR PASSWORD, and all of the other mistakes and transgressions they themselves have committed, since acquiring the Goodson-Todman, Carruthers Company, Reg Grundy, and now Hatos-Hall catalogues.
Posted on May 6th, 2009 at 4:02 pm
To MrQuiz: I thought I was the only one that overlooked the 1990 version of LMAD. It was gone after 13 weeks, but it wasn’t the show’s fault. NBC put it at the 10/9 time slot, a slot where most NBC stations pre-empted them in favor of talk shows or sitcom/drama reruns. I agree, Fremantle should leave the show alone. If it ain’t broke (even though the last 2 version didn’t last long), DON’T FIX IT!!!!!!!!!!
Posted on May 6th, 2009 at 4:42 pm
To Seth D.: Don’t forget Match Game! It also aired on all three networks–NBC in the ’60s, CBS in the ’70s, and the Ross Shafer version on ABC in the early ’90s.
As for possible LMAD hosts, I’d be happy with Marc Summers, Mark L. Wahlberg, Todd Newton, Richard Karn, pretty much anyone other than Ryan Seacrest hosting that show. I can’t really envision anyone other than Rich Fields announcing LMAD, but I’m sure whoever they find will do just fine.
Posted on May 6th, 2009 at 8:07 pm
I also read on another web page that CBS is looking at a possible revival of THE DATING GAME along with LET’S MAKE A DEAL and THE $25,000 PYRAMID. I would love to see CBS throw a PASSWORD revival and a JOKER’S WILD remake (which I am lobbying for) into the candiate mix as well. For the hosting job, I would love to see either Tom Bergeron (he would be perfect for either LMAD or JOKER’S WILD), Mark Walberg (for either PYRAMID or LMAD), Richard Karn (more than likely PASSWORD), or John O’Hurley (he could add either PASSWORD or DATING GAME to his schedule alongside his FAMILY FEUD). Let’s not forget other Fremantle owned shows such as MATCH GAME, TATTLETALES or CARD SHARKS in addition to PASSWORD and LMAD. Plus, with the success of CATCH 21 on GSN, CBS could also tap Merrill Heatter into developing another game for the eye network.
Posted on May 6th, 2009 at 9:20 pm
THE DATING GAME (imo) is (sadly) another example of a game show whose time has come and gone. While it may be beside the point, MATCH GAME is another example of a classic game show whose time also has passed.
Jay: With MILLION DOLLAR PASSORD (and to some, including me, the residual stink) still wayyyy too fresh in the minds of wayyy too many, I wouldn’t hold my breath on (another) revival any time soon. Sony owns THE JOKER’S WILD. While it might be nice to see a revival of that show, I’d be very surprised if it happened.
In spite of it all, I’m not all that sold on O’Hurley, as he comes off as always being “on.”
Karn should be back in front of the camera. Burgeron…what can you say about a guy, who, like him or not, is pretty damn good at what he does, and it shows.
Posted on May 6th, 2009 at 11:21 pm
CBS already distributes wheel and jeopardy!. Would they consider a daytime version of wheel? Maybe the bonus is between $5000-$25,000 with various prizes added, and players stay on 5 days or until they reach $200000 in winnings?
R1:$1000top space R2: $1500 R3 and on $2500
What do you think?
Posted on May 7th, 2009 at 1:27 am
I’m not sure that an LMAD revival would work for CBS now, unless they really push for their affiliates to clear whatever the network replaces GL with during the 3-4 (or 2-3) hour, instead of 10-11 (or 9-10)–which I don’t think will happen. I think that LMAD is too similar to the current version of TPIR to be on the same network (and at nearly the same time) without running the risk of LMAD cannibalizing TPIR’s audience (or of TPIR’s success getting in the way of LMAD’s).
I still think that the best course for CBS here would be to develop one revival of a word-based game (most likely, Pyramid) and one revival of a quiz (e.g., TJW, Split Second, or SOTC).
Posted on May 7th, 2009 at 5:29 pm
SOTC wouldn’t work on two counts: First, it’s “succesor,” the g*d-awful TEMPTATION, like M$P, is still much too recent. Second, like TPIR, it’s all about the prizes.
Now, SPLIT SECOND…that’s something else again! Mark L. Wahlberg has kust the kind of demeanor that would be compatible for that show. Marc Summers would also be worth considering.
Posted on May 7th, 2009 at 10:24 pm
In response to Steven, I’m not so sure daytime “WOF” would work nowadays. They are doing enough with it as is. Now that they have added the million dollar wedge, I’m not sure they would want to go back to daytime with it. It would probably look a little strange to the average viewer who doesn’t know much about the show’s history.
Posted on May 8th, 2009 at 12:14 pm
This is one of my favorite games of all time… as long as Monty is involved in some way, even making an appearance on the first show to introduce the host, this will be fine.
The models? Hey, if primetime Deal doesn’t return, you’ve got your pick of decent models who could look good in front of a curtain or a door. Tameka is involved with the daytime Deal, else she’d be good. Claudia did TPIR…
Posted on May 8th, 2009 at 7:14 pm
It’s will be very hard to replace Monty Hall as host for the new LMAD. I don’t know who could be host?. Burton Richardson or Randy West would be perfect announcer for the show. For the models, whoever is not doing any shows for the taping of TPIR should be the models on LMAD. And rotate them when they have to do TPIR. Do not have video screens or video doors, that will kill it. Have the announcer, bring out the table with a cover like they did in the old versions.
If CBS puts more game shows in the daytime slots(10:00-11:00) and possibly the Guiding Light time slot, that will definately give NBC a way to counter-attack CBS. NBC is down to one soap opera(Days of Our Lives and rumor that it could be cancelled in the near future).
I would like to also see Card Sharks, Whew, Srabble, Dream House, Hit Man, Press Your Luck, Hot Potato, Go and High Rollers come back to network dayime as well.
Posted on May 8th, 2009 at 9:49 pm
To MrQuiz: There’s gotta be a point when someone will say “There’s just too many talk shows on TV”, well, i’m saying it. Sure Springer and Maury will, eventually, run their course, but, worst case scenario, they’ll be replaced with even worst talk shows. As for those so-called “double runs”, they kill the integrity of game shows (see Weakest Link or Millionaire).
To Matt: I would love to see a revival of Card Sharks, but (as MrQuiz pointed out) Fremantle messed it up with that awful 2001 revival. If it’s to be done, they need to revert to the original (mostly the Eubanks/Rafferty end game) format mainly because this is one show that’s meant to straddle. As for Hit Man, Hot Potato, and Go!……likely won’t happen because of their short runs. Sure Chain Reaction did it despite the original lasted 13 weeks, but it was 1) on cable (USA Network), and 2) was a Canadian version of the show since it was based in Montreal.
To Steven: a Daytime Wheel likely won’t happen. CBS knows that if they do that, it will very much lower the nighttime version’s ratings. And a Daytime Jeopardy! not likely to happen either since most stations already airs Jeopardy! during the daytime anyway. And speaking of Jeopardy!………..
To Seth D: The one show you’d forgotten was Jeopardy!. J! has had 3 version of the show (1964-75, a short lived revival in 1978, and, of course the current one that premiered in 1984), which, if my math serves me correctly, is 5 straight decades. Wheel of Fortune and Family Feud will join it and the others that you mention this coming season.
Posted on May 9th, 2009 at 1:26 pm
Oh, and I forgot to mention Pyramid (if CBS go ahead and give it the green light) as another show that will join the 5 straight decade club next year.
Posted on May 9th, 2009 at 1:46 pm
IMHO, there are three things that this supposed new version of “Let’s Make a Deal” absolutely MUST do in order for it to work:
A) It focuses on comedic tension more than game play
B) It adopts the retro/kitschy feel of the original version, not the dark and dramatic style of shows like “Millionaire” and “The Weakest Link”
C) The host must be genuinely warm, approachable and gently funny; s/he must never make it look like contestants are being manipulated or allow the audience to laugh AT them
That being said, LMAD may well be one of those shows whose time has come and gone. One can’t help but wonder if the tone and spirit that made it such a runaway hit in decades past would would translate well in 2009. It’s also inextricably linked to its host. Like Bob Barker and TPIR, Monty Hall IS “Let’s Make a Deal.” The producers will likely find it well nigh impossible to find someone who can bring to the show what class and style he did.
CBS might be better off reviving a hard Q&A show. Since we’re talking Hatos/Hall shows here, “Split Second” immediately springs to mind. It absolutely screams for new life and would be perfect for today’s big money formats. However, finding a host as good as Tom Kennedy was would be difficult. I also remember reading somewhere that a revival of “Double Dare” (Alex Trebek’s short lived mid-70’s show on CBS) was in development. It was always an intriguing – if somewhat awkward – game, although it seems to be remembered now only for the brevity of its run (96 episodes) and its host. Still, it’s worth considering.
Someone mentioned earlier about the dream of “Concentration” coming back to NBC should “Days of Our Lives” bite the dust. Some time ago I seem to remember seeing something about a revival that was on the drawing board with Matt Lauer as host. It ended up getting scrapped in favour of a fourth hour of “Today.” What with the network guarding the master tapes of the Jack Narz and Alex Trebek versions of the show like a state secret, and (unless you believe the conspiracy theory claiming otherwise) virtually all of the tapes of the original run erased from history, it’s unlikely that NBC has any faith in such a thing. I’d feel like I’d died and gone to Heaven if it did return, but I’m not holding my breath.
Posted on May 10th, 2009 at 12:24 am
If CONCENTRATION were to come back, I’d prefer to see it in its original format (for you younger fans, I’m talking when NBC first ran it from 1958-73). Sure, the pace was slower, the game board had 30 spaces, instead of 25; there was a bit more strategy, in that you had “booby” prizes to protect your “good” prizes, in the event you matched a “Forfeit 1 Gift” card (another strategy, albeit something of a trade-off..giving up a prize in order to see two more parts of the puzzle); and…NO END GAME! The original version proved a “bonus round” isn’t always necessary.
DeVares: as long as talk shows are cheaper to produce than game shows, and as long
as (collectively) we’re as voyeuristic a society as we are, they may NEVER go
away!
Posted on May 10th, 2009 at 9:08 am
“Let’s Make a Deal” coming back to TV? Good idea. I hope that the new version is fun and exciting compared to the 2003 version hosted by Billy Bush. The Bush version was embarrassing and horrible and I hope that the new version doesn’t have stupid stunts, like digging under a hula skirt and toga. If the new version is a hit, then I’ll watch it everyday. Otherwise, good-bye LMAD. And I hope that the deal wheel returns, in which a contestant can either walk away with $1,000 or take a chance and go for a new car. That was very popular in the 1980s. Finally, the perfect host for the show, in my opinion, is either Todd Newton, Ricki Lake or JD Roth. Will LMAD ever come back. I hope so.
