Another icon of mine from my youth has passed. May he R.I.P. Watching Let's Make a Deal in the 60s and 70s was a daily activity for me.

He was great, sadly missed.

In case you aren't aware of the show's influence on Statistics.

He wasn't called "TV's Big Dealer" for nothing!

I think he made some appearances on the current version of Let's Make A Deal as late as a few years ago, so he would've already been in his 90s making a few more deals.

May the Great Donkey of the Sky convey him peacefully to what's behind door number infinity, unless he decides to keep the $100.

96! That's a heck of a run! He's left a long lasting legacy!

Will he be given the choice between pearly gates #1, pearly gates #2 or pearly gates #3?

LOL - that's funny. Monty always seemed like a classy guy and very down to earth but always willing to allow contestants to have fun.

Prayers to Joanna and the rest of his family. If memory serves his wife of 70+ years passed recently.

I just hope he didn't choose the box to hell that Carol Merrell was showing him.

(joking with love, he's one of my favorite people... watched LMAD as a kid home sick from school or summers, really really miss it)
