Erica Banas // Rock Music Reporter September 30th, 2017

Monty Hall, the iconic game show host of “Let’s Make A Deal,” has died.  He was 96.

Per The New York Times, Hall’s daughter, Joanna Gleason, confirmed his cause of death was due to heart failure.

Hall’s career began in radio in the late 1940’s and moved to various hosting game show gigs in local television markets.  His first national hosting gig came in 1960 on CBS’ Video Village.  Shortly after in 1963, Hall would co-create Let’s Make A Deal  with Stefan Hatos.  Hall would host the popular game show until 1986.

Many fans took to social media to pay their respects to the legendary host.

Erica Banas is a lover of classic television and wishes tap dancing would make a serious comeback.
