Monty Hall, the genial host and co-creator of “Let’s Make a Deal,” the game show on which contestants in outlandish costumes shriek and leap at the chance to see if they will win the big prize or the booby prize behind door No. 3, died at his home in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Saturday. He was 96.

A daughter, Joanna Gleason, confirmed his death. She said the cause was heart failure.

“Let’s Make a Deal” had its premiere in late 1963 and, with some interruptions, has been a television phenomenon ever since.

Wow. I've been enjoying the Wayne Brady version lately. Monty was a legend. RIP.

Actually, I thought he died a long time ago.

I used to go into the kitchen and say, "LET'S MAKE A MEAL!!!"

His obit says that he died of heart failure. I wonder if he was on a waiting list for a transplant? ???

When I was a kid me and my brothers watched LMAD every day with my Mom.

RIP Mr. Hall...  :\'(. Thanks for all those deals.  :)

Well, whatever the cause is, he'll surely be missed. :\'(

I know he was the long-running host of LMAD, but I only saw it in reruns.

R.I.P to Monty Hall, he will be missed.  :\'(

I watched Let's Make A Deal all the time as a kid - this is sad    :\'(  :\'(  :\'(

R.I.P. Monty Hall

He will be sadly missed!

While reading up on him, it mentioned The Monty Hall Problem, what was the Monty Hall Problem?

In a nutshell:

became famous as a question from a reader's letter quoted in Marilyn vos Savant's "Ask Marilyn" column in Parade magazine in 1990 (vos Savant 1990a):

“Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors: Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say No. 1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, "Do you want to pick door No. 2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?”

Vos Savant's response was that the contestant should switch to the other door (vos Savant 1990a). Under the standard assumptions, contestants who switch have a 2/3 chance of winning the car, while contestants who stick to their initial choice have only a 1/3 chance.

I'm watching LMAD right now, and I don't believe Wayne has mentioned Monty's death yet. Maybe a dedication at the end?

Update: Dedication at the very end, including a request to donate to UNICEF.
