Floyd, who had his bar mitzvah at
Temple Beth El, returns to Michigan
frequently to see his family — mom
Roberta Floyd of Southfield, dad
William Floyd of Bloomfield Hills and
sisters Debbie Snoek of Berkley and
Linda Berger of St. Clair Shores. Floyd
credits grandmother Dorothy
Masserman of Southfield, a pianist, as a
source of his musical interest and talent.
"I'm very proud of David because
he worked hard to get where he is,"
says Roberta Floyd, a college career
counselor who encouraged her son to
pursue his special interest. "He's
always been bright, witty and cre-
ative."
Dr. Floyd is pleased that his son's
accomplishments were his own doing,
although his early advice to his son
was to go into a more stable profes-
sion. "He's a very adventurous per-
son," Dr. Floyd says.
Linda Berger admires her brother
for sticking to the work he loves. "He
was funny just with us," she recalls.
"He and his friends were like a bunch
of comedians."
Floyd believes the new century is
right for prime-time game shows. "I
think the game show concept always
has been popular," he says.
"Jeopardy has been on for so many
years and is a top syndicated show. I
think people got tired of sitcoms and
were looking for something else.
People are definitely interested in win-
ning millions of dollars."
Although work takes up so much of
Floyd's attention, he still has managed
to seek out romantic interests. He cur-
rently has a long-distance relationship
with a woman he met on a three-week
travel adventure to Nepal.
"I went on a Jewish singles trip last
October and met a woman from NeW
York," Floyd says. "She works in mar-
keting, and we really got to know each
other well. We've been traveling back
and forth between California and New
York."
Reluctant to say more about their
future, Floyd leaves family and friends
wondering whether this quiz show
specialist is about to pop the biggest
question of his life without the glitz of
a TV camera, sound-proof booth or
even Maury.

jumped up wearing a big box,
which hit me under the nose, or
with pins sticking out of their cos-
tumes. Once, someone knocked
me down and I tore the cartilage
in my knee. Another time, a
woman from Nebraska slung me
over her shoulders like a sack of
wheat. I was just dangling there."
What troubled Hall more,
though, were the scathing reviews
from critics who dismissed him
as just another mindless game-
show host. It hurt," he admits.
Few seemed to recognize that
Deal was the first game show to
feature contestants who were
African-American, Latino, Asian
and elderly.

Monty Hall hosted "Let's. Make
a Deal" intermittently from
1963-1991.

During a recent interview, the
famous game-show host conceded
that he does not tend to watch
game shows. In fact, he's con-
cerned about the spate of shows
that have come out in the after-
math of the hugely successful Who
Wants to be a Millionaire. High
money stakes, after all, led to the
Quiz Show scandal of the 1950s.
Also, the current shows,
including Millionaire, Twenty One
and Greed, offer multiple choice
questions and some allow contes-
tants to call on others for advice.
"I don't think people should
make a million that easily," says
Hall, who is the spokesman for
an Internet version of Deal,
www.BuyBidWin.coin, which has
promised to raise money for some
of his favorite charities.
