A recent episode of Let’s Make a Deal featured an unforgettable moment when contestant Daniel, dressed as a cowboy and celebrating his birthday, left host Wayne Brady momentarily speechless with a funny response.
Daniel’s Birthday Victory
Daniel was on stage during his birthday, and he had already won a bedroom set with $9,000. However, his luck didn’t stop there. Wayne Brady invited him back to try for the Big Deal, a mystery prize behind one of three doors. Brady asked Daniel, “How cool would it be to look back on this day and have won the Big Deal?” Daniel’s response was unexpected: “This was the day I got to meet comedy legend Wayne Brady,” he said, catching Brady off guard.

Wayne seemed pleased, noting it was a special day to hang out with Daniel. The Big Deal could be behind any of the three doors presented by Let’s Make a Deal model Tiffany Coyne. Daniel explained he was torn between choosing doors one and two. But, decided to trust his “lovely date, Dominica,” who suggested choosing door number one.
Wayne, curious about their relationship, asked, “Is this just a ‘birthday date’ or a ‘relationship?’” Daniel confirmed they were dating, and Wayne smiled before revealing what was behind the door Daniel didn’t choose. Behind door number two was a set of new kitchen appliances worth over $8,000, making the decision even harder.
Daniel’s Brain Wasn’t Working
Wayne Brady playfully asked, “What’s your lovely pirate’s name?” Daniel, stroking his beard, said, “Uhhh, Ginger Beard is my pirate name.” Wayne was confused for a moment, and Daniel quickly corrected himself. Realizing Wayne had actually asked him about Dominica’s name, not his pirate name. “Dude, I’m on national television right now. My brain isn’t working!” Daniel said as the audience burst into laughter.
Wayne, catching on, joked, “I love the fact that your brain processed me saying to you, ‘What’s your lovely pirate name?’” The moment had everyone laughing as Wayne moved on with the game.
When it was time to reveal the final door, Daniel’s choice turned out to be a trip to Spain. But the surprises didn’t end there. Wayne and the crew also revealed that Daniel had won every prize from the Big Deal segment, including the kitchen appliances and a sauna. Altogether, Daniel’s winnings totaled $21,285.
Overcome with excitement, Daniel dropped to his knees, thanking the show for an unforgettable birthday. He even took a victory lap through the audience, high-fiving everyone around him. It was a hilarious, heartwarming moment that will surely go down as one of the most memorable on Let’s Make a Deal. Would you have trusted your date with a big decision?
