Remembering Monty

There was a time when TV game shows dominated afternoon TV.

Entertainers and other notable famous people made frequent appearances on the shows and it seemed like everyone in American wanted to be on a game show to win big prizes.

Although “Let’s Make A Deal” did not feature celebrities it was one of the top-rated game shows during its initial run.

The show still exists today, but usually is shown during early primetime hours.

The show’s original host: Monty Hall distinguished himself from other game show hosts because of his infectious personality and genuine love of his audience.

He is considered the first, true super-star of daytime game shows.  Others tried to imitate his style-none succeeded.

But, there was more to Monty Hall than just a game show host.

In Remembering Monty, authors Ken Rotcop and Kimberly Kaplan, along with publisher BearManor Media, delve into the life and times of one the most recognizable and beloved TV personalities of all time: Monty Hall.

Among his many talents he possessed were: as an emcee, a song and dance man, a humanitarian and more.

Most people knew him only by his game show TV persona, others knew the real Monty Hall.

Friends, relatives, business associates and coworkers provide up-close stories about Monty.

More than a bubbly, glib and personable game show host, Monty had his ups an downs as all people do-famous or not.

Get to know the man through recollections, candid photos and loving tributes by families and friends.
