LET’S MAKE A DEAL, the new take on the classic game show where audience members dress in outlandish costumes to win cash and prizes, returns for its third season with host Wayne Brady on Monday, Sept. 19, on the CBS Television Network (check local listings).

The third season of LET'S MAKE A DEAL raise the bar on daytime's biggest masquerade party with an array of new and exciting games, adding more high-value bargaining into the mix of the show. Host Wayne Brady will tempt contestants to increase the stakes during each of their trades and give audience members a chance to win big-ticket trips to exotic destinations such as Argentina, Australia and a luxurious railway trip across Canada.

This season, Brady's comedy and improvisational act will include a new sidekick, as LET'S MAKE A DEAL welcomes keyboardist extraordinaire Cat Gray to the cast. Gray, who has recorded with musical stars such as Stevie Nicks, Weezer and Sheila E, will use his talents to support the show’s comedy monologues, skits and prize placements, all leading up to “The Big Deal of the Day.”

LET’S MAKE A DEAL is produced by FremantleMedia North America. Mike Richards (“The Price is Right”) and Dan Funk serve as executive producers. The one-hour show is broadcast weekdays (check local listings) on the CBS Television Network.
