Was this the show that launched that three-door game that the player had
to choose a door hoping to win a prize and the host would then open a
non-prize door? That was fun!

Hello Wayne,

America's favorite Canadian has died.

George Alexander Trebek, of Sudbury, Ontario.
Best known as Alex Trebek, host of "Jeopardy!"

Was this the show that launched that three-door game that the player had to choose a door hoping to win a prize and the host would then open a non-prize door? That was fun!

That show was "Let's Make a Deal", hosted by Monty Hall.
A Canadian who passed away in 2017.

The contestant got to choose one of three doors, in which only
one of the doors had a prize. Then Monty would open one of the doors
that did not contain a prize and give the contestant an opportunity
to change his/her original selection. Which presented a problem.
Would the contestant be better off by keeping his/her original
selection, or switch to the other door?

Even folks with PhD's had a difficult time solving the Monty Hall
problem. But for those who want the answer, here it is -

Dead at age 80. May he RIP.

May he does.

Getting tormented in hell forever for not asking the right question
is the other possibility ...
