Wayne Brady is the host of the current series, with Jonathan Mangum as his announcer/assistant. The current edition of Let's Make a Deal has aired on CBS since October 5, 2009, when it took over the spot on the network's daytime schedule vacated by the soap opera Guiding Light. Let's Make a Deal is also known for audience members who dress in outrageous and unique costumes in order to increase their chances of being selected as a trader. The trader thus does not know if they are getting something of equal or greater value or a prize that is referred to as a "zonk," an item purposely chosen to be of little or no value to the trader. The program's defining game mechanism is that the other item is hidden from the trader until that choice is made. In most cases, a trader will be offered something of value and given a choice of whether to keep it or exchange it for a different item. The format of Let's Make a Deal involves selected members of the studio audience, referred to as "traders", making deals with the host.

The program was created and produced by Stefan Hatos and Monty Hall, the latter serving as its host for nearly 30 years. Let's Make a Deal (also known as LMAD) is a television game show that originated in the United States in 1963 and has since been produced in many countries throughout the world.
