Monty Hall is best known as the host of the classic television game show Let's Make a Deal. as born Monty Halperin on August 25, 1921 in Winnipeg, Canada, and immigrated to the United States in 1955.

In 1963, Hall became the host of Let's Make a Deal, which he co-created and co-produced. The show is based around deals offered to members of the audience by the host. The traders have to weigh the possibility if the offer is for valuable prizes, or for the undesirable items referred to as "Zonks." Let's Make a Deal is also known for the crazy costumes worn by audience members who dress up that way in order to increase their chances of being selected as a trader. Each show ends with the Big Deal that involved three doors, famously known as Door #1, Door #2 and Door #3 — each of which contains a prize behind it.

Monty Hall has extensively traveled the world speaking and performing for countless charities. He is currently on the boards of many charitable organizations, and his philanthropic activities have earned him over 500 awards. In April 1975, he was elected President of Variety Clubs International, the world's largest
