In this post-election environment, I've sworn off TV news and have searched for light entertainment. I turned on "Let's Make a Deal" today and was surprised to see how depressed and defeated everyone on the show seems to be.
The original "Let's Make a Deal" was always a complete shitshow, but Monty Hall did his best to play into the absurdity of it all. In this reboot, Wayne Brady and his co-hosts don't even try to hide the fact that they'd rather be anywhere else doing anything else. Brady can barely muster up any enthusiasm, and the tall ginger (pictured on the left side of the picture) doesn't even try to contain his contempt for the contestants. Even the blonde bimbo walks around in a near comatose state, clearly annoyed that she has to do thinks like ask people if they have a hard-boiled egg in their purse in exchange for $100.
The whole show is just so sad. It's like an advertisement for Prozac.
