Big Deal (game show)

It was hosted by Mark DeCarlo and packaged by Stone-Stanley Productions, with swing group Big Bad Voodoo Daddy as the house band.

The show's format followed that of Let's Make a Deal; however, stunts similar to those featured on Truth or Consequences were also played.

Examples of such stunts included: While DeCarlo played up the fact that losing one of these games resulted in nothing more than a tragic loss, a disclaimer at the end of every episode stated that contestants who damaged their own possessions would be reimbursed money according to the value of their belongings before they were destroyed.

DeCarlo would go back into the audience and invite contestants who had won something to trade their prize(s) in for a shot at the Big Deal, starting with the top winner and working downward.

Let's Make a Deal eventually resurfaced on NBC in primetime in 2003 with Billy Bush as host, but this was version cancelled due to low ratings.
