I never told anyone what I was doing as I didn't want to spoil it. In 1980, I went to a filming of Let's Make a Deal in West Vancouver. I got zonked and won three piglets. They gave me $75 for the little piggies. I went back to Let's Make a Deal around 2010 with Cheryl to a Los Angeles taping after departing a repositioning cruise. This time I did a lot better went for the big deal. I didn't get the big deal but I did get a dining room table, a fireplace that looked like a TV and a full set of Lennox china with cutlery and gorgeous wine glasses. It was worth over US$6500.00.
Before COVID, Cheryl and I went back for a short trip and she won US$5,000.00 cash! It was a lot of fun. At a family dinner, Lexie asked if Cheryl and I would take her to Let's Make A Deal as she's now 19 and able to get into the studio. She applied online. Now, they ask for a story about your life. Where you live, what you do for a living and an interesting fact about yourself.
On Tuesday, August 20th, Lexie got a call from the casting department asking her if she could be at the studio on Tuesday, August 27 at 12:00 PM. Of course we said yes. We went as the three pigs!
