From Monty Hall's interview:

So he wanted them to win the car. That seems interesting. I suppose it makes sense as this was an entertainment program. Viewers like a happy ending. Or if the guest accepts the cash and stays with the lower probability door, it's okay that they get the goat because they have cash. So win-win just for appearing. Also prevents unhappy guests from saying bad things about the show.
