If you like the show then don't start paying attention to just how little they tend to give away in each episode. And definitely don't read about how Wayne Brady doesn't interact with the audience at all while they setup the next prize. He apparently disappears into the back each time. I've watched more episodes than I can count of Who's Line but he just doesn't seem to be genuinely happy to be there.
They also seem to kill a lot of time with skits. The only time they are entertaining is when something goes wrong and Johnathan improvises. When things go a bit sideways and they get goofy it is fun but the rest of the time I get the feeling that some of them would rather be elsewhere.
Otherwise the skits tend to be long and just seem to kill time so that they can give away fewer prizes. You end up with a 5 minute chunk where they do a play about what is behind the curtain and most times they basically tell you exactly what it is but then throw in "or it could be a zonk version of that"
I'd like to see more normal reactions out of the contestants. Every single one of them just repeats "that's okay, that's okay" with a huge smile when it turns out they made the wrong choice.
Hand picking just the people that will pretend to be the most excited takes the variety and fun out of it. "Yay! I traded in my $8,000 prize and ended up with wake boards. Yay!"

I used to enjoy "Let's Make a Deal" whenever I had the chance to watch it. Now with host Wayne Brady, it's more like a forum for Mr. Brady to sing, dance & use so much time performing instead of the reason he's hosting - to make deals with people. I find it really annoying that he spends all this time on the show using it to perform. That's not why he's there.
Hi Wayne. You are a very good host for Let Make A Deal.
I watched your show many times and have felt you focus on African-American audiences a lot.
Example of your show in Sept 2018: you called up 4 African-Americans and only 1 white and 1 (possibly) Mexican-American.
I do not know why your show does not have the way as same as Price Is Right, by drawing names from audiences instead of calling up by yourself.
Hope you have more objective thoughts for your show to audiences.
Thanks.

Let me start of the reviews by saying that this version of a television classic is a worthy successor to all the versions that have aired in the past. Wayne Brady definitely brings a younger and hipper feel to the show and he is the perfect successor to Monty Hall. What also makes this version great is the chemistry between Brady and Jonathan Mangum. They pretty much have made this a showcase for their improvisational comedy skills and it shows whenever someone gets "zonked" or when they have to deal with some of the crazier contestants that they will get.
This show is definitely a great compliment to "The Price is Right", which it leads into.

I wonder if Lets Make A Deal is in a money crunch since there are less prizes given away, more zonks, and silly skits. Time for a new host and reboot
