Game show fanatics will be pleased to learn that network game shows are returning to daytime television. Finally, people who take actual sick days will have something else to look forward to other than another mind-bending dose of NyQuil.

CBS has confirmed they are replacing the outgoing Guiding Light with a remake of the classic Let's Make a Deal.

The ex-Tiffany network has already shot a test pilot of the updated show with smiling crooner Wayne Brady in the host's chair. Brady hasn't officially won the job, but he's the front-running favorite. CBS executives are expected to make Brady's deal official later today at the Television Critics Association hoedown, unless, of course, he chooses to go for what's behind Door Number Two. Don't do it Wayne! It's just a lifetime supply of goat feed!

But what about the show's original host and all-around television legend Monty Hall? Has he been zonked out of the picture by the network that dangled an audition in front of him? Not at all. He's not only given his blessing for the new show, but he's also on board as a producer and consultant. He also hasn't ruled out the opportunity of doing a few surprise guest appearances.

You're witnessing a trend in the making, folks. If Brady brings in some big numbers, you can also expect comedians to fill those host chairs instead of professional game show hosts or emcees. And Drew Carey didn't start the fire. Blame that on Groucho Marx and his hilarious work on the original You Bet Your Life.

Plus, game shows are very cheap for the networks to produce, and with daytime soap operas getting less viewers, it's a hard deal not to take. In fact, the network is also considering more remakes of The $25,000 Pyramid and The Dating Game. It looks like The Bold and the Beautiful is about to become The Old and the Unemployable. Where else can they get a job that considers "able to cry on cue" as a positive special skill, other than the Glenn Beck Program?
