Deal or No Deal (commonly abbreviated as DoND ) is a popular American version of international gaming performances from the Netherlands of the same name. The show was hosted by actor-comedian Howie Mandel, and aired on December 19, 2005, on NBC. The one hour show is usually aired at least twice a week during the trip, and includes extended special episodes or themes. The show kicked off its fourth season on August 25, 2008, following NBC coverage of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. A half-hour daily syndication version of the show began on September 8, 2008 and continued for two seasons. Peter Abbay plays Banker.
The game is primarily unchanged from the international format: a contestant selects one suitcase from 26 choices. Each suitcase contains cash value of USD $ 0.01 to $ 1,000,000. During the game, the contestant eliminates the case of the game, periodically presented with "agreement" from The Banker to take the amount of cash to get out of the game. If the contestant refuses each transaction, they are given the opportunity to trade the first case - chosen before play - for the only remaining in the game, and win any money available in the selected case.
Specific variations of this game, including the "Million Dollar Mission" introduced in the third season, are also used, as well as links to "Lucky Case Game" viewers.
The show was a success for NBC, typically an average of 10-16 million viewers per episode in the first season, though the next season only averages about 5-9 million viewers per episode. This has led to the making of board games, cards, and videos, as well as syndicated series being played for smaller dollar amounts.
The show went on hiatus in early 2009, and the Friday night time slot was replaced with another Mandel series. Howie Do It . It was announced on the official website of the show Deal or No Deal going back with a new episode on Monday, May 4th. The remaining four were recorded in September 2008, and aired on three days Monday, May 4, respectively. May 11, and two finals on May 18th.
On March 13, 2018, it was announced that CNBC will revive Deal or No Deal for another season, and will begin airing by the end of 2018. Mandel will return as host and will be joint executive producer with Scott St. John, who served in the role for the original series. Thirty-one hour episodes will be recorded at Universal Orlando starting July.

Gameplay
The player selects one of 26 numbered suitcases at the beginning of the game. These cases, brought by an identical female model, each holding a different amount of cash from $ 0.01 to $ 1,000,000. Onstage is a video wall that displays the amount that is still played at a certain moment. The selected case of the player is brought to the stage and placed on the podium before him and the host.
In the first half, players choose six cases to be removed from play, one by one. Each case is unlocked when selected, and the amount inside is removed from the board. After the sixth pick, the cordless phone on the podium and the host answered it to speak with "The Banker" - a male figure, seen only as a dimly lit silhouette, sitting in the skybox overlooking the studio. Banker's face was never seen, and his voice was never heard; after the call ends, the host submits the Bank's offer to buy the player case. Players can accept the offer and end the game by saying "deal" and pressing the red button on the podium, or rejecting it by saying "no deal" and closing the hinged cover above the button.
Every time the player declines the offer, he has to play another round, eliminating the fewer cases: five in the second half, four in the third, three in the fourth, two in the fifth. Outside the fifth round, the player eliminates one case at a time, accepting a new offer from Banker after each. The ninth and final offer comes when there are only two cases left in the game, originally chosen by the player and the other one. If a player declines this final offer, he or she can save the selected case or trade it for another, and receive the amount in case he/she decides to take.
Banker's bid is usually a percentage of the average value that is still played at the end of each round. This percentage is small in the early stages, but increases as the game continues and may even exceed 100% in the final lap. Occasionally, bids include prizes that are tailored to the player's interests, either in addition to cash or instead. In addition, gifts are sometimes substituted for some amount of cash on the board. Starting with Banker's offer in the second half, players can bring a "cheering section" (some friends/family members/peers) to the end of the stage for suggestions on case selection and whether to accept offers. However, only player decisions are counted as part of the game.
If a player receives one of Banker's offers, and if time permits, the host encourages him to play through additional rounds to see what will happen. If time runs short, the highest residual value is omitted, or if there are only two cases remaining, all remaining cases are opened at once.

Seasonal rating (based on average audience total per episode) from Deal or No Deal on NBC.
Note: Every US network television season begins in late September and ends at the end of May, which coincides with the completion of the May sweep. All times mentioned are in the East and Pacific time zones.
First season (2005-2006)
The initial ratings for the show are very encouraging. According to Zap2it , "all five performances [for a week starting December 19, 2005 and ending December 25, 2005] finished in the top 15 among the total audience, peaking with 14.1 million people watching Wednesday, 2005. For this week, Deal or No Deal averaged about 12.7 million viewers and a solid 4.3 rating on adults 18-49. "
This event appeared again on NBC every night February 27, 2006 to March 3, 2006 at 8:00 PM ET/PT with main prize (and some cases of higher value than main prize) increased until the prize reached $ 3 Ã, million (and the lowest case which is priced up to $ 0.03). Starting 3/6/06, the show goes into regular time slot at 8:00 pm Monday and Friday, with the grand prize back to its original $ 1 million. The Wednesday episode was added at 8:00 pm due to the consistent ranking success of the event. In something of a coupe rating, the episode 4/3/06 of the event, a special two hours, outperformed the final of the NCAA basketball tournament in a head-to-head competition. During the two-hour show, the second hour scored higher than the first.
As this becomes a regular series, Deal or No Deal is consistently placed in the top 20 most popular programs on television, sometimes reaching the top 10. The 6/5/06 two-hour season finale, featuring Celine Dion via satellite , marks a high ranking for the program, bringing more than 18 million viewers and 5.5 strong share in demographic 18-49. This episode easily shows the highest rating on any network for the week of 6/5/06 to 6/11/06, beating the number two event, the CSI repeat episode, by nearly six million viewers. The finals are experiencing similar successes in Canada, with 1.5 million viewers tuning in. (However, note that CSI and most other fall TV series have completed their seasons two weeks in advance and are on reruns or pre-emptied by this point.)
Season two (2006-2007)
The show returned with a new episode in September 2006, aired Monday and Friday at 8:00 pm and Thursday at 9:00 pm - the last time slot may be the most competitive on US television, such as the Deal or No Deal. facing a pair of big hit series on the CBS program, CSI , and ABC program, Gray Anatomy .
The transaction time slot ' s was originally intended for Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip when NBC announced the fall of the schedule. However, the need to protect the new series against tight ranking competition caused a reaction across the network of primetime networks, including a move on May 25 Deal of the Friday time slot that was announced until Thursday. Crossing Jordan drama, which has been planned for mid-season run, will be brought to the Friday lineup at what should be the second weekly time slot Deal .. However, after the Deal or No Deal completes a special episode that airs in that time slot for success, NBC moves Crossing Jordan back into midseason and uses the Deal on Friday also to help launch the sister series, 1 vs. 100 .
The show aired with a two-hour edition on September 18, 2006, and an hour of each episode aired on September 19, 2006, September 21, 2006 and September 22, 2006. The show uses a $ 21 million prize pot the first week to start the second season of the game, plus the game Lucky Case at home for $ 1 million. During the prime season of the week in 2006, the main game had a maximum amount ranging from $ 1 million, and increased $ 1 million for each game, up to $ 6 million. The main prize was only elected once by contestant Matty Sollena at the season premiere. He took the deal for $ 675,000, but his case contained the top prize of $ 3,000,000.
According to Nielsen's final ranking for the week of September 18, 2006 to September 24, 2006, the second season premiere episode of Deal or No Deal on Monday, September 18, 2006 with Matty Sollena was the 11th prime time prime time most watched in total viewers and the most watched NBC program in total viewers. The Friday show episode also works well in the rankings and won time slots against other networks. Tuesday and Thursday episodes suffer from fierce competition: Dancing with the Stars , Gray Anatomy and CSI .
The Success of Deal or No Deal is a factor in NBC's decision to program another Endemol game, 1 vs. 100 , which aired on October 13, 2006 and assumed Friday night's slot deal on October 27, 2006. Meanwhile, NBC announced Thursday's episode will end on November 8, 2006, to be replaced by a sitcom Scrubs and 30 Rock . Through all of these changes, Monday night's Deal edition continues to win its time slot by a large margin. On Monday, October 30, 2006, for example, Deal won its time slot with a 10.3-household rating and a 16 percent stake, easily defeating second place Prison Break at 5.6/8. Interestingly, during the November sweeping period, the rankings for Deal or No Deal on Thursday grew slightly despite tight competition in the time slot. NBC moved the second weekly episode of Deal or No Deal to Wednesday at 9pm. in January 2007, and also added some episodes at 7:00 pm. Sunday in hopes of giving a boost to the new ranks after football. NBC announced on 16 February 2007 that the second run will move from Wednesday to Sunday at 9pm. (East/Pacific) from 3/4/07.
In March, Monday fell into second place in the time slot, behind the debut of the fourth edition of ABC Dancing with the Stars , the first edition of the show to include the Monday Episode. <3rd Season_three_ (2007-2008) "> Season three (2007-2008)
After the season's premiere episode on Monday, Deal emptyed Monday's stable home night in a last-minute decision by NBC to provide a time slot for the drama series, Chuck , which has great expectations. (This step contradicts the previous statement of the planned network to exclusively use programming without a script at 8 pm.) Deal moves to Wednesday/Friday schedules, encouraging 1 vs. 100 until mid-season. Both views tend to win their time slots in total viewers, with Friday's edition also winning on Adults 18-49 and Wednesday's edition ranks second in the demographics behind ABC Pushing Daisies . In another surprising move, NBC replaced Wednesday's broadcast for five weeks with a short-term reality series, Phenomenon , beginning in late October. The new start of the new series is lower than that of Deal .
Due to the 2007 United States Writers strike, the Deal Dealer's Day moved back to Monday in January 2008, at least temporarily replacing the Chuck . The Friday time slot is filled by 1 vs 100 for seven episodes. 1 vs. 100 has taken a hiatus again on February 22, 2008, and has been replaced in the same time slot by the Amnesia game show, which aired after 1 vs. 100 on February 22, 2008.
Monday's edition of the show ranked # 28 with rank 7.1, tied it with Cold Case .
Season four (2008-2009)
The fourth season begins on August 25, 2008 with host Mandel stating before the inaugural season that there will be at least one millionaire this season. The start of the fourth season also marked the return of the audience competition - the new "Beat the Banker" game brought back interactivity from last season, with home viewers able to win $ 10,000 per show.
The following week, Jessica Robinson became the first winner with a $ 1,000,000 grand prize. Robinson appeared during the Million-Dollar Mission, and in his game there were five cases containing $ 1,000,000 prizes. Robinson declined a final bank bid of $ 561,000, defending his case - number 4 - and winning $ 1,000,000.
After Robinson won, the "Million-Dollar Mission" restarted with two $ 1,000,000 cases on board, and played until the second $ 1,000,000 prize awarded to Tomorrow Rodriguez on October 29, 2008 with nine $ 1,000,000 cases on the board. The highest bid was $ 677,000, with three out of four cases still in the game at that time containing $ 1,000,000 and the other containing $ 300. By omitting $ 300, which in case number 15, he automatically won the grand prize (in case of number 7) with fewer than nine offers made.
Deal or No Deal aired the 200th episode celebration on November 3rd with a series of four quick turns with four different contestants; However, NBC aired this episode in no order, and in fact only 186 episodes were aired at this time. In the episode, the contestant selects all cases to open the round at once and they are instantly opened. They only have 20 seconds to accept bank bids or not. If time runs out, it is an automatic "No Deal". Upon receiving the bank offer, the contestant case immediately opens without playing to find out what would happen if he refused the offer.
Six contestants between November 7 and December 29 have the opportunity to play for $ 2,000,000 with the same board seen as the September 2006 premiere week. Unlike the "Double Deal" episode, only $ 750,000 and $ 1,000,000 are converted (to $ 1,000 $ 2,000,000) instead of doubling the contents of all 26 cases. Only one contestant, Ashley Otte, will choose this highest prize; he sold his tray (as for Thanksgiving Day, the cases were converted into trays) for $ 260,000, and the ultimate hypothetical bid was $ 1,100,000.
The last match in this run (2 January) contains the contestant, Diane Jorgenson. After four months, the fourth season continued on May 4 with the rest of the match, recorded separately from the first half. The reason why this episode was not selected to complete the previous process is unknown.
Contest 273 and finals for the fourth season, aired as part of the "de facto" 2-hour series on May 18, 2009, omitted all grades on the right side of the board in 18 options and received no bank bids higher than $ 22,000. With $ 300 as the highest prize left, he sold his $ 5 case for $ 100. Toward the end of the final series, Banker really revealed himself as none other than Peter Abbay, who has played Banker for four seasons.
On May 19, 2009, it was announced that the fourth season would be the last major season of the show. The syndication event continues for one additional season before ending in 2010.
Cable
The sister business network of NBC, CNBC (Consumer News and Business Channel), aired the premiere episode of Deal or No Deal beginning on December 26, 2005, scoring above average for the network. The event has been removed in Canada at the station due to programming rights issues in the country, and Canadian audiences are shown CNBC World programming instead. The event began repeating on CNBC during the week of February 6, 2006 to June 9, 2006. CNBC also programmed the second week's series, but the sequence began two shows behind NBC's broadcast.
For the second season, after its first week of marathon, CNBC announced that Deal or No Deal will be aired again on Saturday night starting October 14, 2006 at 20:00, 11:00 noon. , and 3:00 AM (all East). In addition, reruns are aired on CNBC every Tuesday and Wednesday at 20.00, 23.00 and 01.00. Reruns does not always repeat the most recent episodes - many of these episodes are randomly selected, and may have been seen several months after the initial broadcast. In addition, reruns have been sporadically broadcasted on the Game Show Network (GSN) beginning to show reruns of events in production.
In Canada, TVtropolis also airs the series, starting with the premiere of the week of February 2006. The five-episode show of Canadian shows was also broadcast on TVtropolis in August 2007.
Syndication Version
A half-hour syndicated version every day debuted on September 8, 2008, with Mandel as the host. The format is similar to the English version. The syndicated version has a grand prize of $ 500,000, hidden in one of 22 cases held by contestants. The show features only two of 26 original case models, Tameka Jacobs and Patricia Kara.
Initially, Arsenio Hall was meant to be the host (and record the pilot), but ultimately missed. Other candidates included Smartmont's Smart Street host Frank Nicotero, but ultimately decided to make Mandel the host.
This version lasted for two seasons, ending in May 2010 as ratings declined.
Gameplay
Deal or No Deal is played by one contestant at a time, five contestants per week with 22 contestants per week trying to play. Before each game, 22 dollars ranged from $ 0.01 to $ 500,000 distributed by a third party among 22 suitcases, unknown values ​​by the host or Banker or other entily. The cases were then randomly presented to 22 contestants by the models. The contestant selects one case which is then placed on the podium.
The game starts with a model that plays "Wheel of Agreement," a wheel with 22 numbers corresponding to the number in the case. A golden ball is placed on the wheel and while spinning, the ball bounces around the wheel into various numbers. When the wheel stops, any land number selected is the selected case number. Contestant cases are then placed on the podium. Players have the opportunity to keep their case or exchange with one of the 21 remaining cases. The only exception to this rule is when Evian has been a sponsor on the show and the models will play a bottle of evian water to determine the contestants for that week. During specially themed weeks, sponsored logos are displayed on wheels as well.
Through a series of rounds, contestants are asked to select a number of other cases that are still being played; each case is opened and the value is revealed before it is taken off the game, and a large electronic board is used to track the amount of dollars still in the game. After completing the selection of the case for the round, Banker, the illuminated silhouette figure only vaguely from behind in the skybox facing the stage, will call to the host using the phone on the podium. The host will then tell the player "bid" Bank: the cash value that depends on the values ​​of the remaining cases in the game, in exchange for leaving the game. The host opens the Plexiglas box on the podium containing the button; if the player accepts the deal, he presses the button to end the game, otherwise he closes the case and states "No Deal," which requires the player to proceed to the next round.
Each round progressively eliminates fewer instances of the game; the first half starts with five cases for deletion, second round with five more, then four, two, two, and then down to move one case at a time. Banker offers usually depend on the interaction between the player and himself, as well as the amount that has been removed. If the lower amount is removed, the offer will increase; also if the top amount is removed, the bid will be reduced. Sometimes, they represent a small percentage of the average value of all remaining cases. From lap to lap, that percentage generally increases, sometimes exceeding 100% towards the end of the game. If the player reaches the final, with the selected case and one remaining case in the game, they can take the final bid or win whatever is in their case (no swap at the end of the game). If a player takes a deal before the final round, the hosts usually encourage players to play until the end to see what will happen. (As time goes by, the rest of the case is opened at once.) Only one player plays for the entire show. If the player does not take a deal when the run time is short, then the host will tempt the player to continue on the next show.
Case Value
Offer $ 10K Giveaway
The syndicated version also has a "Lucky Case Game" called $ 10K Giveaway Deal , playing with $ 10,000 cash. Unlike the prime-time version, the contest runs throughout the week (with one winner per week), and viewers participate by calling a toll-free number. There are also 5 casual cases instead of 6 gold cases. The contest is designed as an ad for the Deal or No Deal Club , a club where buyers can get special discounts with monthly fees at dealornodealclub.com.
In season 2, this is changed to Deal Mania !!! , reward $ 1,000 instead of $ 10,000 in cash. The contest works almost exactly like the $ 10K Giveaway Deal , except that viewers can sign in 5 times a day by calling toll-free numbers or unlimited numbers in mydealmania. com. Deal Mania !!! is also played every weekday and holds a weekend lottery as well.
History
Initially, Mandel plans not to host the syndicated version, as the asking price to host, in addition to the main NBC version, is considered outside the production budget. Arsenio Hall was first considered the host, and even recorded a pilot for the syndicated version, but then passed it. According to rumors, Mark Curry and Frank Nicotero also included candidates. NBC also has fears that syndicated shows will hurt prime time shows, such as Who Wants to Be a Millionaire suffering from overexposure. However, the syndicated version debuted September 8, 2008, with Mandel as the host.
Initially, NBC plans to package this program with Partner Programs produced by Puzzle Merv Griffin for its first season, because the stations it owns and operates already show Crossword and take Deal or No Deal as well. However, this was later removed after Crosswords abruptly halted production after the first season and most, if not all, of the NBC O & amp; Os goes to Deal or No Deal in double-format format.
When Deal or No Deal becomes the exclusive syndication event for the 2009-10 season, major changes are made to the show: The show moved from Culver Studios in Culver City, California to Sonalysts Studios in Waterford, Connecticut, as part of a company decision where four NBC Universal Television Distribution shows moved to Connecticut. All devices are sent to the east, but scaled down to fit the studio.
Reruns
On October 18, 2010, GSN took the rights to air rerun from the syndicated version of Deal or No Deal. The show was withdrawn from the schedule for a short time, but then returned to the weekend. The network returned broadcast reruns from the syndicated version in March 2014. Currently, the network only shows NBC version of the show.
Production notes
The original pilot was produced for ABC in early 2004 with Irish TV personality Patrick Kielty as the host and the highest prize of $ 2.5 million. It was announced that the show would premiere in March 2004, but ABC decided not to broadcast the series.
The first season was recorded at Sunset-Gower Studios in Los Angeles; However, the early episodes were recorded on CBS Television City in Hollywood. The two to four seasons are recorded at The Culver Studios. The second syndicated season was recorded at Sonalysts Studio in Waterford, Connecticut. The rise of CNBC 2018 will be recorded at Universal Orlando in Florida.
As stated, the episodes have a tendency to be themed around the contestants depending on the information the production team gets on them. Mandel claimed that this was done "to make the contestant feel comfortable" (and this is happening since the beginning of Season Two); However, critics call too much to rely on by the series on contestant-based "theme" events.
The custom version comes from the US version
- NBC and Endemol have produced a Spanish version that debuted on October 8, 2006 on their Spanish Telemundo channel. Entitled Vas o No Vas ("Go or No Go"), but is titled in English closed caption Take It or Leave It , this version is hosted by HÃÆ'Â © ctor Sandarti, who also hosts the Mexican version of the same name for Televisa. The main prize is $ 250,000. The November 5, 2006 episode has a contestant winning $ 180,500 and a Ford F-150 for a total of over $ 200,000, an all-time record for an American-language Spanish game event based in America. However, this version is not as successful as the English version and is not updated for the second season.
- Following the conclusion of Super Bowl XLI on February 4, 2007, Global in Canada, Deal or No Deal Canada, a special version of Deal or No Deal, will debut. This version of the show, recorded January 23 to January 25, 2007, in Toronto, shows Howie, a native of Toronto, as the host. The series lasts for five hours long episode. The app for auditions is very similar to the NBC version, except that no video is required. $ 400,000 has been removed and has Toonie ($ 2) placed on the left side. Since Mandel began filming again in Canada for Howie Do It , rumors have spread that Deal or No Deal Canada may return as a real Canadian series and even a syndicated version of Canada, though never reappeared.
- Also in Canada, TVA has produced a French-Canadian version of the Deal or No Deal called Le Banquier , named after a mysterious figure to be contacted by contestants by earning as much money maybe. The show, which is practically the same as the US version, has 26 cases with the highest prize of $ 500,000, though there is a match in which it increases to $ 750,000. The only difference is that the model in the top row (case 21-26) is male.
- All US and Canadian editions are produced by Endemol USA, with English and British English versions using Scott St. John as Executive Producer and R. Brian DiPirro as Director.
Hiatus
In January 2009 a prime-time version was included in the hiatus, with the series coming back on May 4 to broadcast some of its last episodes. TVtropolis stopped displaying prime-time and syndicated versions. CNBC has been showing a rerun of the prime-time version in the past.
In an effort to reduce costs and continue to broadcast the program, NBC & Endemol USA, the DND production company, has negotiated a new arrangement that moved Culver City's Deal or No Deal production to Waterford during the summer of 2009 in favor of the significant tax credits provided by the state of Connecticut.. Although Mandel and both models of events remain, most of the behind-the-scenes crew from west coast production remain in Los Angeles and are not involved in the production of the east coast.
Revival
On March 13, 2018, CNBC announced the revival of Deal or No Deal, complete with Scott St. John and Howie Mandel as executive producers, and Mandel will host. On May 15, 2018, more details were announced, including performances from the Universal Orlando resort, with resort guests as part of the studio audience, and 30 one-hour episodes to be recorded. This event will also move to high definition.
