A partial remake called Big Deal, hosted by Mark DeCarlo, was broadcast on Fox in 1996. In 1998 and 1999, Buena Vista Television (now Disney–ABC Domestic Television) was in talks with Stone-Stanley to create a revival hosted by Gordon Elliott, but it was never picked up. The show was one of several used as part of the summer series Gameshow Marathon on CBS in 2006, hosted by Ricki Lake.
Remember When – A contestant can win a car by identifying when two of five entertainment items (TV shows, music songs, movies, etc.) premiered in the same calendar year. After revealing some of the years, Wayne offers the contestant a sure thing. If the contestant does not take the sure thing, another item may be revealed and Wayne may offer the same sure thing plus additional cash. Checks in the Mail – A contestant could win cash and/or a car by opening four out of eight mailboxes.

To win the car, the contestant has to place a fourth item in the same timeline correctly . Winfall – A contestant can win a car by knocking six circle blocks before allowing a green “WIN” block to reach the bottom. The contestant rolls a heptagon shaped die with the colors of the block and one star side .
After that, there were limits placed on how much a trader could get. Technically, contestants were supposed to bring something to trade in, but this rule was seldom enforced. On several occasions, a contestant would actually be asked to trade in an item such as his/her shoes or purse, only to receive the item back at the end of the deal as a "prize". On at least one occasion, the purse was taken backstage and a high-valued prize was placed inside it. For zonks we used some of my son’s used diapers (not poopy ones of course!) and labeled them with an index card that said zonk.

The object of the game is to move a shark pass four buoys without destroying the boat. The contestant can choose three out of eight treasure chests each containing a number between 0 and 3. If the shark is one buoy away from the boat, Wayne offers the contestant a sure thing to stop playing. Three Aces – A contestant is shown four pairs of cards, each containing an Ace and a zonk. The object of the game is to reveal two out of four aces for a small prize and three out of four for a car.
They are shown 8 boxes, each of which conceal a colored die; either a red 4, a green 5, a blue 6, or a yellow Zonk. If two red 4's are found, the contestant/couple is awarded $400. – A couple plays against each other by imitating three sound effects. Wayne gives the husband a name of a person, place, or thing for him to make a sound. Then the wife has to guess what sound is that from using "My husband sounds like...", and only one guess is allowed for each one.
Big Deal of the Day
After Season 3, they would get only three cards with either "X" or "O" as their letter. Once the player has selected a three digit combination, he/she will then press the button to lock in. Locks turning green indicate a correct number, while locks turning red indicate an incorrect one. After the first round, Wayne offers a contestant a buy-out to stop the game, or he/she may play another round, but with only 15 seconds on the clock. After the second try, Wayne offers another buy-out or the opportunity to play one final round with only ten seconds on the clock.
Panic Button – A contestant or couple can win any or all of three prizes, of which the most expensive is sometimes a car. After being shown the three prizes behind each curtain, the player are asked to press three of six buttons on a control panel. However, three buttons close one of the three curtains , and the other three have no effect. Choosing an envelope, purse, wallet, etc., which concealed dollar bills. One of them concealed a pre-announced value (usually $1 or $5), which awarded a car or trip. The other envelopes contained a larger amount of money as a consolation prize.
The contestant chooses a card and if it contains an Ace, he/she is one step closer to winning the cash and/or car. If the contestant draws two zonks, the contestant is mathematically eliminated from winning a car. On Christmas themed shows, the Aces are replaces with Santas. On Valentines Day shows, the Aces are replaced with hearts.
To begin the game, Wayne asks a contestant for three items . If the contestant finds the item asked by Wayne, he/she removes a zonk. After the item searching is done, the contestant picks an number.
Then, he/she is offered a sure thing which he/she can take or go for the selected number. Numbers Up – Three contestants compete to win an unknown cash amount. In the first round, there are 4 colored squares concealing numbers and all 3 dealers play. Each player picks a color, and the player with the lowest number is out, while the highest number is added to the cash amount, starting at the tens digit. This repeats for the hundreds digit, but with 3 digits and 2 players. When one player is left, their choices are either the last digit or a zonk.
The first trader to win $20,000 is automatically in first place in the running for the Big Deal of the Day which he or she can trade in the $20,000 for the Big Deal. In Season 7 on the CBS version, a "Mega Deal" is played as part of the Big Deal of the Day segment for every non-cash and non-zonk prize available on that day's show. The contestant, after picking his/her door, also picks a "Mega Deal" card from a row of seven numbers ; one of them has the word "WIN" written on it, while the others had "NO." Timeline – A contestant first plays for a trip or other similar valued prize by arranging three entertainment items (TV shows, music songs, movies, etc.) in order. Placing the three in the correct order wins the contestant the trip and a chance to play for a car if they decide to give up the trip.
These games are not used on the CBS version because of their similarities to The Price is Right. Football Frenzy – This was only played during football season. A contestant could win a car by having a team's helmet race down the field against the opposing team to the end zone. One by one, the contestant would choose one of eight boxes, each of which represented the helmet of the team's logo. After each successful pick, Wayne would offer him/her a cash amount as a sure thing to stop playing. If the contestant picked the opposing team's helmet, Wayne would penalize the sure thing.
Wac-A-Zonk – A contestant could win a big prize by smashing one of three Zonkimals on a Wac-A-Mole like game board. At least one of the zonkimals contained the prize, while the rest had nothing. Before the contestant attempted to pick a zonkimal, Wayne would offer a contestant an unknown. If the contestant smashed the zonkimal containing the prize, he/she won it; if, however, the zonkimal contained nothing, he/she would be truly zonked out. Money in the Bank – A contestant could win up to $10,000 by playing a game that involved four questions and four answers. He/She had to match the answers to the questions, and for each correct answer, he/she won $500 in cash.
The 1984 syndicated series had Brian Cummings in the announcer/assistant role for its first season, with disc jockey Dean Goss taking the position for the following season. The 1990 NBC revival series was announced by Dean Miuccio, with the 2003 edition featuring Vance DeGeneres in that role. The current edition of Let's Make a Deal has aired on CBS since October 5, 2009, when it took over the spot on the network's daytime schedule vacated by the long-running soap opera Guiding Light. Wayne Brady is the host of the current series, with Jonathan Mangum as his announcer/assistant.
Beginning in Season 13, $15,000 was offered in this game as opposed to a new car, usually used to minimize the cars offered per show (mainly during "Fabulous Car Fridays"). Three Keys – A contestant or a married couple was presented with a choice of three keys, one of which unlocked anything from boxes (containing money, trip tickets, etc.) to cars. The host usually offers a sure-thing buyout consisting of a smaller prize package, which was offered once one of the "dud" keys was demonstrated. A variation of this game involved more than one contestant selecting a key .
