I went and re-read the interview with him that I'd read decades ago. It turns out that we're both wrong. The game was more complicated. He not only knew where the prize was, he was offering people money about whether or not to switch. He knew the answer, and was trying to manipulate the psychology of the person in front of him for the sake of entertainment. Whether he was on the side of the contestant depended on his mood. His quote about the actual game was:
*My only advice is, if you can get me to offer you $5,000 not to open the door, take the money and go home."
