Mario Cantone

Contestants came in and attempted to guess the average eBay selling price of various items in order to win. Mario spoke with TheCelebrityCafe.com's Grant Hatchimonji about the new show and saving money by looking for bargains.

GH: What are your responsibilities as host?

MC: I'm hosting "Let's Make a Daily Deal" live in Times Square, and I did five sessions yesterday, five today and I'll do five tomorrow. The show is a bit of an homage to "Let's Make a Deal" as well as a hybrid of a few other game shows. So, 50 people come in and we give away great gifts!

Today I was joined by Monty Hall, the original host and creator of "Let's Make a Deal," for a few rounds. We had fun, we had a great time. People come in and wait, pick a number, and win. Also, the people at eBay have been really nice to work for and it's in my city; it's in New York, so it's in my back yard. So basically, yeah, I host this and have fun with the audience.

The whole thing has been really positive. The people from eBay treat you well, they're good people. They're savvy people, smart. I've had a great time. I would definitely work for eBay again. They used to have these eBay commercials that were like these big musical productions and I've been trying to convince them to bring them back. I'm like, "I want to do one!"

GH: What was it like working with Monty Hall?

MC: That was awesome. He's classic and so old school and smart. He knows his stuff. It was great talking to him in between shows about how he came to New York and how he was pounding the pavement trying to find a show. And this whole thing with "Let's Make a Deal," and how he created and owns it
