Monty Hall remembers Sid Caesar

“The King Is Here,” intoned the comedy writers and actors, rising to their feet as Sid Caesar entered Factor’s Famous Deli to join the fortnightly eat-and-shmooze fest.

The Monty Hall solution

I’ve spent many hours with Monty Hall over the past two months. It’s work related, so I’ve gotten to know him in a way I never did when I was a kid. Back then, I’d come home from school and watch him on “Let’s Make a Deal.”

Monty Hall’s best deal

For over 30 years, starting in the early 1960s, Monty Hall hosted “Let’s Make a Deal,” one of the most popular game shows in television history. He was not only the show’s impresario, he created and produced it, and today, at 91, he is still involved with its creative evolution.

What Israel means to me

Tovah Feldshuh

\n\”I love, admire, and will eternally raise money for Israel because I am well aware that she takes bullets for me. She is my life insurance.\”

Rambam’s Bunnies

\nWhat Monty Hall understands is that doctors need money for research and treatment, and the way to get it is to twist some donors\’ arms, to placate others, to lure still more with images of prancing bunnies, and to provide everyone with fun, good food and a mention in the tribute journal. Leave the noble aims to Maimonides — this is Jewish philanthropy, circa 2007.\n\n

The Circuit

Philanthropist and game show icon Monty Hall took center stage last week at Temple Shalom for the Arts when he stepped up to the bimah to read from the Torah at his bar mitzvah. Hall embraced the ancient tradition of a second bar mitzvah surrounded by an overflowing group of friends and well-wishers who turned out to share this \”second\” special life moment.

Behind Kitchen Door No. 1

Monty Hall spent 27 years making outrageous deals with anxious contestants on his TV game show, \”Let\’s Make a Deal.\” But the sweetest deal he ever made with his mishpachah was for a plate of pickled herring if they\’d join him for Passover seder.
