Behind that door

Matthew, Bernardo, and Will managed to elbow their way to the front of the line at NBC Studios in Burbank, California – Matthew wearing his blue Converse high tops and a sparkle vest, Bernardo having died his spiky hair orange and wearing a matching tie-dye muscle tank top, and Will in a light pink oxford button-down, pressed jeans, and loafers. Will, at 29, was the only one in the trio younger than 55.

And they’d managed to make their way into the studio for a taping of the “Let’s Make a Deal” reprise being hosted by Mel Gibson who couldn’t land any more movie roles after the unfortunate incident with the policeman. Monty Hall had signed up for the reprise but conked out after the first taping and was now designated as Host Emeritus.

The threesome had also managed to be called out as contestants as Mel Gibson asked them about their outfits.

“I’m a conventional Palo Alto yuppie,” Bernardo said, lifting his arms, making biceps, and showing off his nicely tailored armpit hair.

Matthew swizzled his hips and turned around to show off his derriere. “I’m a lawyer heading into the city to settle a big case.”

And Will folded his arms across his chest and tapped an index finger against his dimple chin. “I’m a San Francisco freak with no morals and loose fillings.”

“All right, Contestant Number One with the preppy look,” Mel Gibson said, “pick you a door.”

Will chose Door Number Three and won an electric blue Mazda Miata convertible.

“Contestant Number Two with the hot armpits,” Mel Gibson directed, “your turn.”

Bernardo choose Door Number One and won a trip for two to Southeast Asia.

“That leaves you, Contestant Number Three, with Door Number Two.”

The door slid open. “Congratulations,” Mel Gibson said, beaming a wide smile, “you’ve won a Gillette electric shaving kit.”
