Let’s Make a Deal celebrated St. Patrick’s Day in style, with Mega Money Monday as contestants looked for luck on the game show.
The audience members wore green to celebrate the annual holiday and hoped to find that pot of gold leprechauns are often nearby.
Host Wayne Brady called a contestant to the stage wearing a yellow jacket, blue vest, light green pants, and a dark green leprechaun top hat.
Wayne met the contestant, King Jaquell, who indicated he was a military veteran and now a podcast host.
The contestant spoke about attending the Essence Festival, which Wayne also attended.
After their conversation, he learned he could win $10,000 on Mega Money Monday, an excellent reason to celebrate.

“Let me get that, Wayne! Let me get that, Wayne! Let me get it. Let me get it,” the excited contestant said as she jumped from side to side and danced around.
Wayne seemed entertained and amused by King Jaquell’s moves, calling it the “$10,000 dance.”
The game involved a board between Wayne and announcer Jonathan Mangum with numbers one through 15. Behind 13 numbered circles was a cash amount of $200 or $400. However, behind two circles was a dreaded Zonk.
To win the $10,000, King Jaquell had to pick numbers and accumulate $2,000 cash on the gameboard before finding a Zonk.
He started great with a $400 reveal and another dance to celebrate. After another $200 and $400 discovery, he told Wayne, “Keep the party rolling.”
“Let me get nine,” he said in a funny voice, causing some audience members to laugh.
That was another cash amount, and he kept the party going with Wayne and Jonathan.
After King Jaquell reached $1,800 on the gameboard, he did a quick jog in a small circle on stage, followed by some jumping jacks.
Wayne offered him the chance to walk with that prize, but he announced, “We gonna keep the party rolling!”
The contestant chose two from the board as his final selection. In a dramatic reveal, Wayne counted before taking the numbered circle off the board and revealing $200.
With that, King Jaquell dropped onto the stage, spun around for a breakdancing move, and laid flat on his back as cash rained down for the $10,000 win. Audience members also celebrated with cheers and applause.
“That’s the most stylish win we’ve had on Let’s Make a Deal,” Wayne said, delighted by the contestant’s energetic and creative moves on stage.

The recent on-stage spin on the March 17 episode of Let’s Make a Deal was the second breakdancing move to pop up on a CBS game show.
