Mandel's sleazy, Luciferian Deal persona is not exactly friendly, but it befits a show about sex, greed and temptation. And it's a sign of how hosting has changed since the Beat the Clock era. Says Merv Griffin, the former talk-show host and now billionaire talk- and game-show mogul: Time was, "you hired an M.C. who every mother-in-law would love."
