TV.com summary

The United States version of the game show Deal or No Deal, (often shortened as Deal) hosted by Canadian actor-comedian Howie Mandel, premiered on December 19, 2005 on NBC. After an initial weeklong event and another in February 2006, the show aired multi-weekly from March to June 2006, typically on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. In September 2006, the show returned with another weeklong event, followed by regular airings through June 2007; a Monday night edition aired all season, with additional airings at various times through the season on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays. The show returned for its third season on September 17, 2007, and is scheduled to air Wednesdays and Fridays.^[1] The season debut episode on September 17 featured Donald Trump as the banker. On October 24, 2007, the Wednesday edition went on hiatus to make room for a new reality series, Phenomenon;^[2] the Wednesday edition returned December 5. On January 4, 2008, the Friday edition will move to Mondays, at least temporarily, to make room for the return of 1 vs. 100. ^[3]

Gameplay

Before the game, a third party randomly places the possible winnings in the cases, which are distributed to 26 identically-dressed models who reveal the contents during the game. No one involved in the show's production, including the host, models, or even the executive producers, knows which amounts are in the cases. Unlike many international versions of the show, the briefcases in the U.S. gallery are not distributed to audience members. After picking one of the cases, the contestant then selects 6 of the remaining 25 cases, revealed one at a time. Each figure appears in only one case, so any values revealed in this way are not in the contestant's case. This is followed by a "phone call" by "The Banker", a mysterious figure shown only in silhouette. He purportedly sits in a skybox (situated between the two audience sections) and makes an offer, via telephone, to Mandel (his voice is never heard, except by Mandel himself) to buy the contestant's case based primarily on the mean of the cash amounts still in play, but also on the stage of the game (early offers tend to be far lower than the mean, perhaps to goad the contestant into continuing play) as well as the player's psychology (Mandel will also occasionally relay supposed insults from the Banker to the player; players often insult the Banker back). Mandel then asks the title question: "Deal or No Deal?" If the contestant accepts the "Deal" (by pushing a stylized red button enclosed in a glass case), the game ends, and the value of the case that he or she chose at the beginning of the game is then revealed along with the whereabouts of the remaining prizes. Should the contestant refuse the offer (by stating "No deal" and/or closing the glass case), he or she must choose five of the remaining cases to eliminate from consideration. The Banker makes another offer, and play continues as before. The Banker's offer may be higher or lower than the previous offer (if a top prize is eliminated, generally the offer decreases; conversely, if only lower amounts are eliminated the offer increases significantly). Subsequent rounds have the contestant withdrawing four, three, then two cases from play. Should the contestant continue to decline the Banker's offer after this point, the contestant then eliminates one case each time (with an offer from the Banker after each case elimination) until an offer is accepted or two cases are left. If the player rejects the final offer, the player is given the opportunity to switch cases with the one remaining case before seeing his or her prize. Each contestant has several supporters (usually three), who sit in a special section just off stage during his or her game. As the field of cases dwindles, one or more of the supporters are asked to consult with the contestant and help him/her make a decision. These exchanges have become emotional, particularly when very high and very small amounts remained and the Banker offers a large cash buyout; on at least one occasion, the contestant's daughters called, pleading (successfully) with her to take The Banker's offer. The contestant's supporters are typically revealed on the second Bank offer (one time, they were revealed on the third offer). Occasionally, the Banker attaches a prize or prize package to the cash in his offer, or sometimes the whole offer will be a prize (or package). Most of the time, the prize is something the contestant wishes for (sometimes an unusual prize for gag purposes related to something the contestant likes); as on most game shows, contestants fill out a screening sheet prior to their acceptance for broadcast, whose main purpose is to weed out unsuitable contestants, but also details their interests. If the offer is accepted, the contestant keeps the money and the prize, but if not, the prize will not be carried over to future offers.

Odds and probabilities

When a contestant is presented with the original 26 cases, he or she has a 3.85% (1 in 26) chance of selecting a case containing any of the available dollar amounts. (Compare this to the standard American roulette wheel, where selecting any of the available 38 numbers offers casino players just 2.63% (1 in 38) of selecting a winning number.) If the contestant were allowed to open this case immediately, theoretically it would contain $750 or less half the time (13 of 26 cases) and $1,000 or more half the time (13 of 26 cases); the median (middle) case value is $875. However, because of the very large top prizes, the mean (average) value of that case is $131,477.54. If every contestant refused every deal (eventually being able to open their initial choice), the game show would expect to pay out approximately $131,131 per contestant on average. However, most of the game show's payouts would be concentrated in a few big winners -- and most contestants would leave with very disappointing earnings.

Special Games

To keep the gameplay exciting and to preserve interest in the program, the show occasionally introduces one-time or short term special gimmicks to the games.

Double Deal

In some games, the game was played for double the stakes, in which all values on the board were doubled. In at least one game, involving twins, two lucky cases were also chosen.

The Green Case

In the Thanksgiving 2006 episode, the third game had a special green bonus case, held by Keltie Martin, in which the contestant would win if the $1 million was kept in play after the first two rounds. Alas, in the first round, the $1 million was picked off, in Keltie's most substituted case, Brooke Long's, case #15. The amount inside the case was never revealed.

Double or Nothing

In two games in the 2006-2007 season, contestants were offered a chance to double their winnings, or lose everything. Two large cases were brought out, in which the contestant chooses one of the other. The case holding the word "double" meant the contestant's winnings were doubled; "nothing" meant the contestant loses all their winnings. The contestant also had the option to just walk away with what they won.

Million Dollar Mission

From September 26, 2007 to October 12, 2007, Deal or No Deal featured the Million Dollar Mission, where each game had an extra $1 million case added until it is won, up to a maximum of eight; the new million-dollar case replaces the highest remaining case value (e.g., when there were six $1,000,000 cases, the highest non-$1,000,000 value was $100,000).^[4] During the course of this mission, no one won the million dollars, and three contestants had the million dollars in the case each had chosen, but then later sold it. The mission ending without a millionaire caused controversy with many fans that believed that the mission would continue until someone finally won the top prize.. The Million Dollar Mission returned on Wednesday, January 2, 2008; as with the previous "Mission", it began with two $1 million cases. ^[5]^[6]

$100 Million Giveaway

In addition, Howie Mandel mentioned on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno that at one point the show will eventually try to give away an unprecedented $100 million.^[7] This occurred on November 16, 2007, where 3 teams of two competed in a game for $100,000,000 in honor of Hershey's 100th anniversary. In this game each team chooses two cases out of 150, with each team having their own set of 150 cases. If they matched two halves of a wrapped Hershey's kiss, they would win the top prize. None of the teams got either half, but they each received $100,000 for their efforts.

On-Stage Game vs. Online Game

The third game in a two-hour episode on December 5, 2007 featured Summer Andrews playing the game on stage while her husband, Craig (who admittedly is a terrible DonD player), played online from another room in the studio, giving them two chances to win $1 million. After the completion of Summer's own game, she had to decide whether to take the prize money that she won, or take the money that Craig won without knowing the outcome of Craig's game past the third round, in which the board looked strikingly similar to the former player Dave Atherton's board ($300,000, $400,000, and $1 million still in play, and $1 being the smallest amount). Fortunately, although it can be inferred that Craig did not keep the $1 million in play for much longer, he did better than his wife: Andrews agreed to a deal of $59,000 yet chose her husband's case, worth $74,000, over her deal. Craig could see the final decision being made, although neither Summer nor the studio audience could see him because his reactions would let the cat out of the bag. Footage of Craig "yelling" at his wife could also be seen by home viewers. After the broadcast, Craig has since said that his case contained $300,000, but without a safety net, he feels it was right to take the deal. He has also mentioned that $74,000 was his highest offer; with the board after round 3, that seems very unlikely.

What's the Deal? week

On episodes on December 10, 11 and 12, 2007, the series presented a special What's the Deal? week, featuring special gimmicks. Featured during this week:

A winner-take-all tournament on December 10, in which, during a two-hour period, three contestants each played a regular game. While one contestant's game was in progress, the other two were sequestered backstage, so that neither contestant knew how much the other contestants won. The contestant who has won the most money among the three wins all money won by all three contestants, with the other two contestants leaving empty-handed (the disclaimer during the closing credits, however, mentioned that the losing contestants would receive a parting gift). The first of the three contestants emerged as the winner of $60,001, since his score was $50,000, while the other players finished with scores of $10,000 and $1.
During the episode on December 11, there were two instances in which viewers at home, and only viewers at home, saw what was inside the case that the contestant thought did not hold the $1 million prize. This was done by Howie taking a case to a special box with a small window for the camera to peek through. In this box, when the camera focused on the case, Howie opens the case for the home audience. In the first game of that night, the case revealed to the home viewers had $5. In the other game, it had $200.
The December 12th show had a special Deal Wheel that the contestants were required to play at the end of the game --unlike the earlier "double or nothing" feature, there was no opt-out. A ball is rolled by the contestants down a board with a series of pegs (similar to Plinko) into a vertical spinning roulette-style wheel, with thirty slots. Depending on which slot the ball stops in, the contestant's money was halved (ten slots), doubled (15 slots), or tripled (five slots). The first contestant (who was the returning contestant from the previous night) had his $296,000 deal cut in half to $148,000. However, the Deal Wheel ended up doubling the other player's $40,000 deal, for a final total of $80,000.

Special Cases

On four occasions the cases have been decorated: lime green for Zanny Henseler (a fan of the color), checkered cases for a NASCAR themed game; for the Christmas episodes in 2006 and 2007, the cases were colored like wrapping paper; and in support of breast cancer awareness the cases were pink for one game. In addition, for Thanksgiving episodes, lower amounts were replaced with food.

On the Thanksgiving 2006 episode, $25 was replaced with a turkey in one game, and $10 was replaced with a pumpkin pie in another.
On the Thanksgiving 2007 episode, for both games, instead of $.01, $1, $5, $10, and $25, the five lowest amounts were listed as gravy, cranberry sauce, stuffing, pumpkin pie, and turkey.

The Christmas 2007 episode also featured the $1, $5 and $10 values replaced with "coal", "egg nog", and "fruit cake", respectively. In addition, due to the holiday, both games in this two-hour episode began with 25 cases in play, with case #26 (Lindsay Clubine) and the $25 value taken out of play at the beginning, and the first two rounds having 5 cases to be picked.

Lucky Case game

Lucky Case Game

During its first week on the air, there was a $10,000 home viewer giveaway, wherein home viewers were invited to send a text message stating what they thought was the "Lucky Case." Entries to the contest were also accepted via the NBC website. A correct answer placed that viewer in that night's drawing for the $10,000 prize. The Lucky Case game was altered for the 2nd week-long special, and the format carried over to the regular series. Instead of using the preexisting cases from the contestant's game, it uses a separate set of six gold-plated cases, as held by the show's models. Also, statistics are displayed before some commercial breaks showing the distribution of votes for each case. The voting has been removed in late 2006. Depending on the time of year, there are two or three different winners of the Lucky Case game each night -- there are games for the Eastern/Central and Pacific time zone feeds throughout the season. There is a separate Mountain time zone game during the part of the season when the United States is on standard time. Each time zone has its own separate winning case number. The viewer's prize is usually $10,000; however, occasional special episodes offer an increased prize of up to $100,000 (or $20,000 in the first season). On March 12, 2007, the announced prize progressively increased from $10,000 to $50,000 during the show; however, the actual cash prize was $50,000. On the May 7, 2007 episode, for the 100th episode of the show, viewers had a chance to win $100,000 in the Lucky Case Game. On the September 17 and September 19,2007 episodes combined, $1 million was offered to a home viewer with the winner to be announced live on September 26th when 2 models show up at their home. The winner was Rolly Eugene Kishen of Cottage Grove, OR. Also on the same episode, there were 4 models instead of 6 so people apparently had a better winning chance (although in fact, the chances were less, because the pool of possible winners is larger). On Global, they do not show the Lucky Case Game segment, as the Canadian viewers are not eligible to participate. When repeats are shown on CNBC, the Lucky Case Game is not shown on the air. On Double Deal days, the Lucky Case game doubles, just like the case amounts, up to $20,000. In season 3, the models were usually Alike Boggan, Leyla Milani, Brooke Long, Jenelle Moreno, and 2 other unrecalled models. They wear yellow dresses.

Scheduling and ratings

Seasonal rankings (based on average total viewers per episode) of Deal or No Deal on NBC. Note: Each U.S. network television season starts in late September and ends in late May, which coincides with the completion of May sweeps. All times mentioned are in the Eastern and Pacific time zones.

Season one (2005-2006)

TV Season	Timeslot	Rank	Viewers (in millions)
2005-2006	Monday 8:00 p.m.	#13^[8]	15.8^[8]
	Wednesday 8:00 p.m.	#21^[8]	14.4^[8]
	Friday 8:00 p.m.	#32^[8]	11.6^[8]

Early ratings for the show were extremely encouraging. According to Zap2it, "all five shows [during the week beginning December 19, 2005 and ending December 25, 2005 finished in the top 15 among total viewers, peaking with 14.1 million people watching the Wednesday, December 21 installment. For the week, "Deal or No Deal" averaged about 12.7 million viewers and a solid 4.3 rating in the adults 18-49."^[9] The show appeared again on NBC each night February 27 through March 3 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT with the top prize (and some of the higher-valued cases other than the top prize) escalating until the prize reached $3 million (and the lowest-valued case going up to $.03). As of March 6, the show settled into regular time slots at 8:00 p.m. Mondays and Fridays, with the top prize returning to its original $1 million. Wednesday episodes were added at 8:00 p.m. due to the show's consistent ratings success. In something of a ratings coup, the April 3 episode of the show, a two-hour special, outrated the NCAA basketball tournament final in a head-to-head competition. During both of the two-hour shows, the second hour scored even higher ratings than the first. Since it became a regular series, Deal or No Deal consistently placed within the 20 most popular programs on television, at times attaining the top 10. The June 5, 2006 2-hour season finale, which featured Celine Dion via satellite, marked a series-high rating for the program, bringing in over 18 million viewers and a strong 5.5 share in the 18-49 demographic. The episode was easily the highest-rated show on any network for the week of June 5 through June 11, outdistancing the number-two show, a repeat episode of CSI, by almost six million viewers. The finale experienced similar success in Canada, with 1.5 million viewers tuning in.^[10]^[11] (However, it should be noted that CSI and virtually all other fall TV series had completed their seasons two weeks earlier and were either in reruns or pre-empted by this point.)

Season two (2006-2007)

TV Season	Timeslot	Rank	Viewers (in millions)
2006-2007	Monday 8:00 p.m.	#14^[12]	14.9^[12]
	Friday 8:00 p.m.	#33^[12]	11.4^[12]
	Wed/Thu/Sun 8:00 p.m.	#41^[12]	10.3^[12]

The show returned with new episodes in September 2006, airing on Mondays and Fridays at 8:00 and Thursdays at 9:00 — the latter time slot being perhaps the most competitive in U.S. television, as Deal or No Deal faced a pair of big hit series in CBS's CSI and ABC Grey's Anatomy. Deal 's Thursday time slot had initially been intended for Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip when NBC announced its fall schedule. However, the need to protect the new series against stiff ratings competition caused repercussions throughout the network's primetime grid, including a move on May 25^[13] of Deal from its announced Friday time slot to Thursdays. The drama Crossing Jordan, which had been planned for a mid-season run, was to be brought into the Friday lineup in what would have been Deal 's second weekly time slot. However, after Deal or No Deal completed airing special episodes in that time slot to success, NBC moved Crossing Jordan back to midseason and used Deal on Fridays as well to help launch a sister series, 1 vs. 100. The show premiered with a 2-hour edition on September 18, 2006, and one-hour episodes that each aired on September 19, 21 and 22. The show used a $21 million prize pot over the first week to kick off the second season of the game, coupled with the at-home Lucky Case Game for $1 million. During the season premiere week in 2006, the main game had maximum amounts start at $1 million, and increased $1 million for each game, up to $6 million.^[14] According to final Nielsen ratings for the week of September 18-24, 2006, the second-season premiere episode of Deal or No Deal on Monday, September 18 with Matty Sollena was the 11th most-watched network prime time show in total audience and NBC's most-watched program in total audience. The Friday episode of the show also did well in the ratings and won its time slot against the other networks. The Tuesday and Thursday episodes suffered from tough competition: Dancing with the Stars, Grey's Anatomy and CSI.^[15] The success of Deal or No Deal was a factor in NBC's decision to program another Endemol game, 1 vs. 100, which premiered on October 13 and assumed Deal's Friday night time slot on October 27. Meanwhile, NBC announced the Thursday episodes would end with the November 8 episode, to be replaced by sitcoms Scrubs and 30 Rock. Through all these changes, the Monday night edition of Deal continued to win its timeslot by a large margin. On Monday, October 30, 2006, for instance, Deal won its time slot with a 10.3 household rating and 16 percent share, easily outdistancing second-place Prison Break at 5.6/8. Interestingly, during the November sweeps period, the ratings for Deal or No Deal on Thursday grew slightly despite heavy competition in the timeslot. NBC moved the second weekly episode of Deal or No Deal to Wednesday at 9 p.m. as of January 2007, and also added a few episodes at 7:00 p.m. Sundays in hopes of giving a boost to its new post-football lineup. NBC announced on February 16, 2007 that the second airing would move from Wednesdays to Sundays at 9 p.m. (Eastern/Pacific) starting March 4. In March, the Monday Deal fell to second place in the time slot, behind the debuting fourth edition of ABC's Dancing with the Stars, the first edition of that show to include a Monday episode.

Season three (2007-2008)

Following a season-premiere episode on Monday, Deal vacated its stable Monday night home in a last-second decision by NBC to give the timeslot to a drama series, Chuck, for which it had high hopes. (This move contradicted earlier statements from the network that it planned to exclusively use unscripted programming in the 8 PM hour.) Deal moved to a Wednesday/Friday schedule, pushing 1 vs. 100 to midseason. Both airings tended to win their timeslot in total viewers, with the Friday edition also winning in Adults 18-49 and the Wednesday edition placing second in that demographic behind ABC's Pushing Daisies. In another surprising move, NBC replaced the Wednesday airings for five weeks with a short-run reality series, Phenomenon, starting in late October. The new series' initial ratings were lower than what Deal was delivering. Due to the 2007 Writers Guild of America strike, Deal's Friday edition will move back to Monday in January 2008, at least temporarily replacing Chuck. The Friday time slot will be filled by the returning 1 vs. 100. NBC is expected to use additional episodes as needed.

Cable

NBC's sister business network, CNBC, aired episodes of the premiere week of Deal or No Deal starting on December 26, 2005, scoring above-average ratings for the network. The show has been blacked out in Canada on that station due to programming rights issues in that country, and Canadian viewers were shown CNBC World programming instead. The show began to rerun again on CNBC during the week of February 6 until June 9. CNBC also programmed the second week-long series of the show but the sequence started two shows behind the airings on NBC. For the show's second season, following a marathon of the second season premiere week, CNBC announced that Deal or No Deal re-airings would be back on Saturday nights starting October 14, 2006, at 8 p.m., 11 p.m., and 3 a.m. ET. In addition, Deal reruns aired on CNBC every Tuesday and Wednesday at 8 p.m., 11 p.m., and 1 a.m. ET. Currently, the reruns air Tuesday and Thursday nights at 9:00 p.m. ET and Saturday nights at 8:00 p.m. ET and 11:00 p.m. ET. The reruns are not necessarily repeats of the most-recent episodes -- many of these episodes are selected at random, and may have been previously seen several months after its initial broadcast. In Canada, TVtropolis also airs the series, starting with the February 2006 premiere week of episodes. The five-episode run of Canadian shows were also aired on TVtropolis in August 2007.

Production notes

The original pilot was produced for ABC in early 2004 with British TV personality Patrick Kielty as host and a $2.5 million top prize. It was announced that the show would premiere in March 2004, but ABC decided against airing the series. The show was taped during its first season at Sunset-Gower Studios in Los Angeles; however, early episodes were taped at CBS Television City in Hollywood. The show is currently being taped at The Culver Studios.

Models

Main article: List of Deal or No Deal models (US)

While most of the models hold the same numbered case each week, a few of the models hold a different case number each game. All 26 models wear identical dresses and shoes, though the style is changed for each episode.

Future syndicated version

A future syndicated version is currently being planned.^[16] Originally, Howie Mandel planned not to host the syndicated version, as his asking price to host it, in addition to the primetime NBC version, was considered to be out of the producers' league. Arsenio Hall was first considered to be the host, and even taped a pilot for the syndicated version, but was later rejected. According to rumors, comedian Mark Curry and Street Smarts host Frank Nicotero were also among the candidates.^[17] NBC also had concerns that the show would burn out prematurely, just like Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.^[17] Ultimately, NBC pegged a fall 2008 debut for the syndicated Deal or No Deal, with Howie Mandel as host. ^[18] The syndicated version will only be a half-hour long each episode, with a top prize of $250,000. Also, the syndicated version will have fewer models and cases;^[19] a total of 3 models will appear on the syndicated version, with 22 cases being carried by audience members in exchange for the shot at becoming a contestant. ^[20] This format would be similar to the UK version of the show.

Special versions derived from the US version

NBC and Endemol had produced a Spanish-language version of Deal or No Deal, which debuted October 8, 2006, on their Telemundo Spanish language channel. Titled Vas o No Vas (Go or No Go), it is hosted by Héctor Sandarti, who hosted the Mexican version of the same name for Televisa. The top prize is $250,000.^[21] The episodes that aired on November 5, and December 17, 2006, saw contestants win $180,500 and a Ford F-150 for a total of over $200,000, an all-time record for an American-based Spanish-language game show. However, it is apparent that this version is not as successful as the English version -- in May 2007, Telemundo has announced its cancellation.
After the conclusion of Super Bowl XLI on February 4, 2007, Global in Canada debuted Deal or No Deal Canada, a special Canadian version of Deal or No Deal. This version of the show, taped January 23-25, 2007 in Toronto, features US host Howie Mandel (a Toronto native) as host. The series ran for five hour-long episodes.^[22] Applications for auditioning were very similar to the NBC version, except that no videos are required.^[23]
Also in Canada, TVA has produced a French-Canadian version of Deal or No Deal called Le Banquier, named after the mysterious figure that contestants must make deals with to obtain as much money as possible. The show, which is practically the same as the US version, have 26 cases with a $500,000 top prize. The only difference is that the models on the top row (cases 21 to 26) are men.
All US and Canadian editions are produced by Endemol USA, with the US and Canadian English versions both using Scott St. John as Executive Producer and R. Brian DiPirro as Director.

Unaired episode

At least one episode of Deal or No Deal was produced, but was rejected for broadcast, as the producers felt that the outcome looked bad for the show. Halie Swan of Vernon, Texas was a contestant on Deal or No Deal on what was to have been the first Million Dollar Mission game, to have been broadcast in late September 2007 -- this first Million Dollar Mission game featured two $1 million cases. In this episode she rode a horse on stage, and she met country singer LeAnn Rimes, who was a guest in that episode. However, in the first round of gameplay, she picked off both $1 million cases from the board; in the end, she won $50,000. Despite keeping promises not to reveal the outcome to anyone, producers later notified her, saying that her show won't air, as they felt it was a bad start for the Million Dollar Mission; however, she can still keep the $50,000. The producer mentioned that this was the first time a completed game has gone unaired. ^[24]

Merchandise

Deal or No Deal is the basis of an electronic game released in June 2006. On the April 24, 2006 episode, free copies of the game were given to all of the contestants and audience members. A ticket redemption arcade game was created by Innovative Concepts in Entertainment, Inc. which features 16 virtual cases, a Double Deal option, and a top prize of between 100 and 1000 tickets depending on the game and mode selected.^[25] Several state lotteries are participating in a Deal or No Deal scratch-off ticket that awards $50,000 for 20 years to the grand prize winner. Non-winning tickets can be used to enter a sweepstakes for a variety of prizes, including a chance to be on the game show. Participating states include Illinois^[26], Minnesota, New York ^[27] and South Carolina.
