Zonk

A Zonk is an unwanted booby prize from Let's Make a Deal, although they are usually considered worthless or ridiculous joke prizes traders legally won the zonks. However, after the taping of the show, any trader who had been zonked is offered a consolation prize (currently $100) instead of having to take home the actual zonk. This is partly because some of the zonks are intrinsically or physically impossible to receive or deliver to the traders (e.g. such as live animals, the guy in an animal costume or the props/employees that are owned by the studio itself). A disclaimer at the end of the credits of later 1970s episodes read "Some traders accept reasonable duplicates of Zonk prizes". Starting in the 2012-13 CBS daytime revival invited viewers to provide zonk ideas to producers. At the end of the season, the zonk declared the most creative was worth $2,500 to the winner and other viewers' Zonk ideas were also used. For every-developed viewer Zonk, the host (Brady) announced the viewer who provided the Zonk. In addition, the contest has been renewed for its second season in 2013.
