USA Today

Hall’s game show was an immediate success when it launched in 1963 and would host it through 1986. As USA Today notes, he and co-creator Stefan Hatos ‘turned bartering and kitsch into a TV franchise that has seen four hosts and three networks. Deal, which aired on NBC, ABC and in syndication, returned to network television in 2009 on CBS with host Wayne Brady.”
