Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Some Game Shows have gag prizes of negligible value. The name of this trope comes from the term used on Let's Make a Deal, where they almost always involved animals. The producers did make a mistake on this once, which, if they had been caught, would have been expensive. One of the 'zonks' offered was an oil derrick. At that time, an oil derrick, even on the used equipment market, was worth about $6,000, and would have been worth more than the highest prize on that show. The contestant didn't know this, of course, and took the consolation prize. |
