The first big announcement by CBS at the Television Critics Association meetings is that the network is dusting off "Let's Make a Deal." A new version of the game show will be broadcast on CBS daytime starting Oct. 5.

Here's the bad news. After 57 years, "Guiding Light" will go off the air to make room for "Deal" to move into that time slot. It is just another example of how the daytime drama format is an endangered species.

Nina Tassler, president of CBS Entertainment, says test episodes of three game shows were filmed and "Deal" was the best.

Monty Hall hosted the original "Let's Make a Deal" when it was on the air from 1963-1977. Reruns still pop up on the Game Show Network. Wayne Brady has been picked to be the host of the new version.

Brady's former "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" co-star Drew Carey is already hosting "The Price Is Right." Now, Ryan Stiles needs to get a job on a new version of "Password," Greg Proops should be hired to host an all new "Card Sharks" and Colin Mochrie should be picked for a new version of "The Match Game" and the "Whose Line" gang would be all together.
