"Even though I’m hosting a show on a rival network, CBS understands I’m not just a host and I just don’t do one thing and they’ve been very good about that.
“And Let’s Make a Deal is in daytime and [Game of Talents] is primetime so they’re not in direct competition."
Previous Let's Make a Deal hosts include Monty Hall, Bob Hilton, and Billy Bush.
