Hall first appeared on the game show "Keep Talking" in 1958 and in 1963 and went on to develop "Let's make a Deal", a unique game show that involved contestants wearing crazy costumes to seek the host's attention.Hall co-produced the money spinner with the help of a business partner and the game mechanism garnered instant success. In the show, items were hidden from display until a trade(deal) was made with the trader. The traders or contestants were offered choices by host Hall. The deals were made based on their choices, from Door No.1, Door No. 2 and Door No. 3.

The item then revealed to the trader could be of greater value or smaller one but the format kept those watching, hooked to the very last moment wondering which door the guest might choose as they waited for the prizes to be displayed.

This game show's uniqueness became popular with the American audience and the format eventually went on to become a global phenomenon and his show has since been produced in many other countries as well.Hall's lines from the game show " Or would you rather have what's in the box that Jay's bringing down the aisle" was remembered as a favorite pickup line by many.
