Let's Make A Deal En Femme

Most mornings, I settle into a familiar routine: coffee in hand, MacBook Pro open, and the television tuned to Let's Make a Deal. It’s comfort viewing—colorful, a little chaotic, and built around costumed audience members trying their luck with the host.

I’ll admit, I watch for two very specific reasons.

First, there’s Tiffany—Tiffany Coyne—whose outfit of the day is reliably worth noting (usually a short dress paired with high heels, styled to perfection). Second—and this is where things get more interesting—I keep an eye out for any audience member who shows up en femme.

That second category is surprisingly rare. Most mornings, I’m left with nothing more than a passing admiration for Tiffany’s wardrobe. But every now and then, the show delivers.

March 30 was one of those mornings.

A contestant named “Landon” appeared dressed as Lucy Ricardo—the iconic role made famous by Lucille Ball on I Love Lucy. The costume was spot-on. Landon made a highly convincing Lucy.

Look a little closer, though, and the tells were there: the height, a voice that leaned unmistakably male, and, of course, the name “Landon,” which doesn’t quite pass unnoticed.

Still, credit where it’s due—the effort was impressive, and the result was genuinely entertaining.

Naturally, curiosity got the better of me after the show. A bit of Googling revealed that Landon is Landon Reid, who turns out to be very active—and very entertaining—on Facebook and TikTok.

Worth a look if you’re inclined.

And so it goes!
