Cullen reincarnated
On a totally non-serious note, I love the new "Let's Make a Deal".
Host Wayne Brady reminds me of Bill Cullen, ubiquitous quiz host of the '50s. Since the start of the quiz/game genre on radio in the '30s, nearly all hosts have been loud and obnoxious. Brady and Cullen are exceptions: clever, adaptable, and quiet, but always ready to turn snide when a contestant deserves it. ¶ 2:23 PM
