Deal or No Deal is an American version of the internationalgame show ofDutch originof the same name. The show is hosted byHowie Mandel, and premiered on December 19, 2005, onNBC. The hour-long show typically aired at least twice a week during its run, and included special extended or theme episodes. The main series ran for four seasons (2005 to 2010), and was revived in 2018 for a fifth season. A daily syndicated half-hour version of the show debuted on September 8, 2008, and continued for two seasons.

The game is primarily unchanged from the international format: a contestant chooses one briefcase from a selection of 26. Each briefcase contains a cash value from $0.01 to $1,000,000. Over the course of the game, the contestant eliminates cases from the game, periodically being presented with a "deal" from The Banker to take a cash amount to quit the game. Should the contestant refuse every deal, they are given the chance to trade the case they chose at the outset for the only one left in play at the time; they then win the amount in the selected case.

Special variations of the game, including a "Million Dollar Mission" introduced in the third season, were also used, as well as a tie-in with a viewer "Lucky Case Game".

The show was a success for NBC, typically averaging from 10 to 16 million viewers each episode in the first season, although the subsequent seasons only averaged about 5–9 million viewers each episode. It has led to the creation of tie-in board, card, arcade, and video games, as well as a syndicated series played for smaller dollar amounts.

The show went on hiatus in early 2009, and its Friday night time slot was replaced with Mandel's other seriesHowie Do It.^[1] The network later announced thatDeal or No Deal would return on May 4, 2009, to air its remaining episodes. These remaining four were taped in September 2008, and aired on three consecutive Mondays, May 4, 2009, May 11, 2009, and the final two on May 18, 2009.

On December 3, 2018, the show returned to NBC as a holiday special with original host Howie Mandel. New episodes of the program began airing onCNBC on December 5, 2018. The show aired its final episode on August 7, 2019.

The contestant chooses one of 26 numbered briefcases at the start of the game. These cases, carried by 26 identically dressed female models, each hold a different cash amount from $0.01 to $1,000,000. On the stage is a video wall that displays the amounts still in play at any given moment. The contestant's chosen case is brought onto the stage and placed on a podium before them and the host.

In the first round, the contestant chooses six cases to eliminate from play, one at a time. Each case is opened as it is chosen, and the amount inside is removed from the board. After the sixth pick, a cordless telephone on the podium rings and the host answers it to speak with "The Banker", visible only as a silhouette, who sits in a skybox overlooking the studio. The Banker's face is never seen, and their voice is never heard. After the call ends, the host relays the Banker's offer to buy the contestant's case. The contestant can accept the offer and end the game by saying "deal" and pressing a red button on the podium, or reject it by saying "no deal" and closing a hinged cover over the button.

Each time an offer is rejected, the contestant must play another round, eliminating progressively fewer cases: five in the second round, four in the third, three in the fourth, two in the fifth. Beyond the fifth round, the contestant eliminates one case at a time, receiving a new offer from the Banker after each. The ninth and final offer comes when there are only two cases left in play: the one originally chosen by the contestant and one other. If the contestant rejects this final offer, they may either keep the chosen case or trade it for the other. The contestant receives the amount in the case taken.

The Banker's offer is typically a percentage of the average of the values still in play at the end of each round. This percentage is small in the early rounds, but increases as the game continues and can even exceed 100% in very late rounds. At times, an offer includes a prize tailored to the contestant's interests, either in addition to cash or instead of it. Also, prizes are occasionally substituted for some of the cash amounts on the board. Starting with the Banker's offer in the second round, the contestant can bring a "cheering section" (e.g., friends, family members or colleagues) to the edge of the stage for advice on case selection and whether to accept offers. However, only the contestant's decisions are counted as part of the game.

If a contestant accepts one of the Banker's first eight offers, and if time permits, the host encourages the contestant to play through additional rounds to see what would have happened if they had not accepted the offer. If time runs short, the last value that was higher than the contestant's taken offer is eliminated in the proveout, if the contestant wasn't going to win much, or if there are only two cases remaining, the host opens the contestant's case to see whether their deal is a good or bad one, and then all of the remaining cases are opened at once.

For the 2018 revival on CNBC, the Banker was female instead of male, and instead of a wireless phone, Mandel used aniPhone to communicate with the Banker. Once per game, the contestant could counter the Banker's offer after any round by naming a higher price to stop playing. If the Banker accepted the counter-offer, the contestant received the amount they had stated and the game ended immediately. If the banker rejected the counter-offer, the contestant had to play onto the next round.

Similar to the syndicated series, there was no option to swap cases after the final round, when only the contestant's case and one other were still in play. If the contestant rejected the Banker's final offer (and the contestant had their own counter-offer rejected, if applicable), they received the amount in the originally chosen case, plus any applicable bonuses.

OnDeal or No Deal, the values hidden in the 26 briefcases typically range from $0.01 to $1,000,000 (all 26 cases total $3,418,416.01):

Some special episodes feature a board with doubled values, and others feature multiple increases of possible prizes.^{[citation needed]}

Each season ofDeal or No Deal features 26 models who each bear one of the cases in play. There have been 68 different models over its five seasons, ranging from tenures of one season (39 models) to the full five seasons (two models).

Seasonal rankings (based on the average total viewers per episode) ofDeal or No Deal onNBC.

Note: Each U.S. network television season starts in late September and ends in late May, which coincides with the completion of Maysweeps. All times mentioned are in the Eastern and Pacific time zones.

Early ratings for the show were extremely encouraging. According toZap2it, "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, 2005 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."^[8]

The show appeared again on NBC each night February 27, 2006 through March 3, 2006 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, 2006, 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 PM due to the show's consistent ratings success. In something of a ratings coup, the April 3, 2006 episode of the show, a two-hour special, outperformed theNCAA 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.

Once it became a regular series,Deal or No Deal consistently placed within the 20 most popular programs on television, at times landing the top 10. The June 5, 2006 two-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, 2006 through June 11, 2006, outdistancing the number-two show, a repeat episode ofCSI, by almost six million viewers. The finale experienced similar success in Canada, with 1.5 million viewers tuning in.^[9][10] (However,CSI and nearly all other fall TV series had completed their seasons two weeks earlier and were either in reruns or pre-empted by this point.)

The show returned with new episodes in September 2006, airing on Mondays and Fridays at 8:00 p.m. and Thursdays at 9:00 p.m. the latter time slot being perhaps the most competitive in U.S. television, asDeal or No Deal faced a pair highly rated programs,CSI onCBS, andGrey's Anatomy onABC. Both shows were in the top 10.

Deal's Thursday time slot had initially been intended forStudio 60 on the Sunset Strip when NBC announced its fall schedule. However, the program moved on May 25^[11] from its announced Friday time slot to Thursdays. The dramaCrossing Jordan, which had been planned for a mid-season run, was to be brought into the Friday lineup in what would have beenDeal's second weekly time slot. However, afterDeal or No Deal completed airing special episodes in that time slot to success, NBC movedCrossing Jordan back to midseason and usedDeal on Fridays as well to help launch another game show,1 vs. 100.

The show premiered with a two-hour edition on September 18, 2006, and one-hour episodes that each aired on September 19, 2006, September 21, 2006, and September 22, 2006. The show used a $21 million prize pot over the first week to kick off season two of the game, coupled with the at-homeLucky 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.^[12] The top prize case was only chosen once by contestant Matty Sollena on the season premiere. He took the deal for $675,000, but his case contained the top prize of $3,000,000.

According to final Nielsen ratings for the week of September 18, 2006 to September 24, 2006, the second-season premiere episode ofDeal or No Deal on Monday, September 18, 2006 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, andCSI.^[13]

The success ofDeal or No Deal was a factor in NBC's decision to program anotherEndemol game,1 vs. 100, which premiered on October 13, 2006 and assumedDeal's Friday night time slot on October 27, 2006. Meanwhile, NBC announced the Thursday episodes would end with the November 8, 2006, to be replaced by sitcomsScrubs and30 Rock. Through all these changes, the Monday night edition ofDeal continued to win its time slot 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-placePrison Break at 5.6/8. During the November sweeps period, the ratings forDeal or No Deal on Thursday grew slightly despite heavy competition in the time slot. NBC moved the second weekly episode ofDeal or No Deal to Wednesday at 9:00 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 9:00 p.m. (Eastern/Pacific) starting March 4, 2007.

In March, the MondayDeal fell to second place in the time slot, behind the debuting fourth edition of ABC'sDancing with the Stars, the first edition of that show to include a Monday episode.

Following a season-premiere episode on Monday,Deal vacated its stable Monday night home in a last-second decision by NBC to give the time slot to a drama series,Chuck, for which it had high hopes. (This move contradicted earlier statements from the network that it had planned to exclusively use unscripted programming in the 8:00 p.m. hour.)Deal moved to a Wednesday/Friday schedule, pushing1 vs. 100 to mid-season. Both airings tended to win their time slot in total viewers, with the Friday edition also winning in Adults 18–49 and the Wednesday edition placing second in that demographic behind ABC'sPushing 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 initial ratings forPhenomenon were lower than whatDeal was delivering.^{[citation needed]}

Due to the2007 Writers Guild of America strike,Deal's Friday edition moved back to Monday in January 2008, at least temporarily replacingChuck. The Friday time slot was filled by the returning1 vs 100 for seven episodes.1 vs. 100 has taken another hiatus as of February 22, 2008, and has been replaced in the same time slot by the game show Amnesia, which premiered after1 vs. 100 on February 22, 2008.

The Monday edition of the show ranked No. 28 with a 7.1 rating, tying it withCold Case.^[14]

The fourth season began on August 25, 2008, with host Mandel stating prior to the season premiere that there would be at least one millionaire in the season. The beginning of the fourth season also marked the return of an audience competition – the new "Beat the Banker" game brought back the interactivity from past seasons, with home viewers being able to win $10,000 per show.^[15]

The following week, Jessica Robinson became the first winner with the $1,000,000 top prize. Robinson appeared during the Million-Dollar Mission, and in her game had five cases containing the $1,000,000 prize. Robinson turned down a final bank offer of $561,000, keeping her case—number 4—and won $1,000,000.

After Robinson won, the "Million-Dollar Mission" restarted with two $1,000,000 cases on the board, and played until the second $1,000,000 prize was awarded to Tomorrow Rodriguez on October 29, 2008, with nine $1,000,000 cases on the board. Her highest offer was $677,000, with three of the four cases still in play at the time containing $1,000,000 and the other containing $300. By eliminating the $300 case, which was in case number 15, she automatically won the top prize (in case number 7) with fewer than nine offers having been made.

The week before Rodriguez's victory, the October 22, 2008 episode featured the most infamous contestant when Richie Bell ofKarns City, Pennsylvania kept his briefcase (case number 15) all the way to the end and turning down multiple banker offers of over $600,000 and it came down to either the $1,000,000 prize or $1. After turning down an offer to switch cases with the remaining case (case number 11), it was revealed that Bell had the $1 case, and only received aconsolation prize of $10,001. Bell's blunder turned into aninternet meme, though Mandel would later state that Bell was one of his favorite contestants.^[16] A 2018 update showed Bell now living with his family inHenderson, Nevada and having lost considerable weight after having successfulgastric sleeve surgery.

Deal or No Deal aired its 200th-episode celebration on November 3, 2008, with a series of four speed-round games with four different contestants; however, NBC aired this episode out of order, and in reality only 186 episodes had aired at this point.^[17] In the episode, the contestant chose all the cases to open for a round at once and they were opened right away. They only had 20 seconds to accept a bank offer or not. If time ran out, it was an automatic "No Deal". After accepting a bank offer, the contestant's case was immediately opened without playing on to find out what would have happened had they declined the offer.

On May 19, 2009,^{[citation needed]} it was announced that the fourth season would be the last prime time season of the show. The syndicated show continued for one additional season before it ended its run in 2010.

On March 13, 2018, it was announced that CNBC would be revivingDeal or No Deal for another season. Mandel returned as host and served as co-executive producer along with Scott St. John, who served in the role for the original series. Thirty one-hour episodes began taping atUniversal Orlando in July 2018 and concluded taping on August 11, 2018.^[18]

On July 24, 2018, it was announced that the show would premiere on CNBC on December 5, 2018.^[19]

The fifth season began on December 5, 2018, with host Mandel along with several new models. Returning models from the original series includePatricia Kara, Megan Abrigo, and Amanza Smith. Additionally, one of the new models was Mahogany Lox, granddaughter ofMotown Records ownerBerry Gordy.

On May 12, 2023, NBC announced that it had ordered aspin-offreality competition series,Deal or No Deal Island, with Mandel as executive producer. The series was billed as a mix ofDeal or No Deal withSurvivor, in which contestants will compete to collect briefcases on the banker's "private island", with the winning player having a chance to play for the largest prize in the show's history.^[20][21] On September 27, 2023, it was announced thatJoe Manganiello will serve as host.^[21] On November 20, 2023, it was announced that the series will premiere on February 26, 2024.^[22][23] The cast of 13 contestants was announced on January 8, 2024, and includes formerDeal or No Deal modelClaudia Jordan and formerSurvivor contestant"Boston" Rob Mariano.^[24][25]

NBC's sister business networkCNBC aired episodes of the premiere week ofDeal 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 shownCNBC World programming instead. The show began to rerun again on CNBC during the week of February 6, 2006 until June 9, 2006. CNBC also programmed the second week long series of the show, but the sequence started two shows behind the airings on NBC.

For season two, following a marathon of its premiere week, CNBC announced thatDeal or No Deal re-airings would be back on Saturday nights starting October 14, 2006 at 8:00 p.m., 11:00 p.m., and 3:00 a.m. (all Eastern). In addition, reruns aired on CNBC every Tuesday and Wednesday at 8:00 p.m., 11:00 p.m., and 1:00 a.m. 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. Additionally, reruns have sporadically aired onGame Show Network (GSN) started airing reruns of the show in production order.^[26]

In Canada,DTour also aired the series, starting with the February 2006 premiere week of episodes. The five-episode run of the Canadian show,Deal or No Deal Canada was aired onGlobal TV in August 2007. The franchise was also hosted by Mandel.

TheDeal or No Deal channel, launched in 2020, is a free orvalue-added channel dedicated to airing reruns of the NBC game show. In the United States, the service is available for free onPlex,Pluto TV,^[27] andXumo. In Canada and the United States, the service is available on LG Channels^[28] and Samsung TV Plus,^[29] which require a compatible LG or Samsung device. Episodes may air sequentially or inshuffle play, and the episode schedule may be different between each streaming service.

TheDeal or No Deal Universe channel on YouTube also launched in 2020. It features live and on demand reruns of the US versions from NBC, CNBC, and syndication, along with reruns ofDeal or No Deal Australia from theNetwork Ten version andDeal or No Deal UK from theChannel 4 andITV versions. Episodes from the US show are available worldwide, except in Russia, while episodes from the Australian show areblacked out in Australia and New Zealand.

A daily half-hoursyndicated version debuted on September 8, 2008, with Mandel as host,^[30] and featuring a format similar to theUK version. The syndicated version offered a top prize of $500,000, hidden in one of the 22 cases available for choosing by contestants rather than the 26 in play in the show's standard format.^[31] The show only featured two of the original 26 case models, Tameka Jacobs and Patricia Kara.

This version lasted two seasons, ending in May 2010 due to declining ratings.^[32]

The same 22 contestants appeared for the entire week. One contestant played at a time, and five complete games were played per week. Prior to each game, 22 individual dollar amounts ranging from $0.01 to $500,000 were distributed by a third-party among 22 briefcases,^[33] and the values were unknown to the host, the Banker or any other entity. The cases were then randomly presented to the 22 contestants by the models.^[34]

The game began with the models spinning the "Deal Wheel", a wheel with 22 numbers corresponding to the numbers on the cases. A golden ball was placed into the wheel and as it spun, the ball bounced around inside the wheel to various numbers. When the wheel stopped, whichever number the ball landed is the contestant who competed in the game. Their case was then placed on a podium. The contestant had the opportunity to either keep the case they began the game with or swap with one of the remaining 21 cases.

Through a series of rounds, the contestant was asked to select a number of the other cases still in play. Each case was opened and the value revealed within it taken out of play. A large electronic board was used to track which dollar amounts still remained in the game. After completing the selection of cases for that round, the Banker called the host using a phone on the podium, who then verbally revealed to the contestant of the Banker's "offer", a cash value based upon the remaining values in play, for the contestant to accept and end the game immediately. The game moved in a similar fashion to the broadcast version, which progressively removed cases from the game until the contestant accepted an offer or retained their original case and won the value inside.

Each round progressively removed fewer cases from the game: the first and second round with five cases to be removed; the third round with four; the fourth and fifth rounds with two; and subsequently down to removing one case at a time. If the game progressed to just two cases remaining—the contestant's original and the final unopened case—the contestant was given the choice to take the final offer or win whatever is in the case they kept. There is no opportunity to swap cases in this version. If the contestant took a deal prior to the final round, the host usually encouraged the contestant to play through to the end to see what would have happened.

The syndicated version also has a "Lucky Case Game" calledDeal's $10K Giveaway, playing for $10,000 cash. Unlike the prime-time version, the contest lasts all week (with one winner per week), and viewers participate by calling a toll-free number. There are also 5 regular cases rather than 6 gold cases. The contest is designed as an advertisement for the Deal or No Deal Club,^[35] a club where shoppers could get special discounts for a monthly fee at their website.

In season two, this was changed toDeal Mania!!!, giving away a $1,000 prize rather than $10,000 cash.^[36] The contest works almost exactly likeDeal's $10K Giveaway, except that viewers can enter 5 times a day by calling the toll-free number or an unlimited number of times on the website.Deal Mania!!! is also played every weekday^[37] and holds weekend sweepstakes as well.

Originally, Mandel planned not to host the syndicated version, as his asking price to host it, in addition to the prime time NBC version, was considered to be outside of the production budget.Arsenio Hall was first considered to be the host, and even taped a pilot for the syndicated version, but was later passed over. According to rumors,Mark Curry andFrank Nicotero were also among the candidates.^[38] NBC also had concerns that the syndicated show would harm the prime time show, asWho Wants to Be a Millionaire had suffered from overexposure.^[38] However, the syndicated version debuted September 8, 2008, with Mandel as host.^[39]

Initially, NBC planned to package this program with theProgram Partners-producedMerv Griffin's Crosswords for its first season, as itsowned and operated stations were already airingCrosswords and were picking upDeal or No Deal as well. However, this was later scrapped afterCrosswords abruptly stopped production after its first season and most, if not all, of the NBC O&Os airedDeal or No Deal in a double-run format as a result.

AsDeal or No Deal became an exclusively syndicated show for the 2009–10 season, production moved from theCulver Studios inCulver City, California to the Sonalyst Studios inWaterford, Connecticut, as part of a corporate decision in which fourNBC Universal Television Distribution shows moved toConnecticut. The show started taping in high-definition.^[40]

The original pilot was produced for ABC in early 2004 with Irish TV personalityPatrick Kielty as host^[41] 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 first season was taped atSunset Gower Studios; however, early episodes were taped atCBS Television City, both inLos Angeles. Seasons two through four were taped atCulver Studios inCulver City, California. The second syndicated season was taped at the Sonalyst Studios inWaterford, Connecticut. The 2018 revival was based atUniversal Orlando in Florida.^[42]

As was stated, episodes had a tendency to be themed around the contestant depending upon information the production team obtained on them. Mandel stated that this was done "to make the contestant feel comfortable" (and was the case since early in Season Two);^{[citation needed]} However, critics^[who?] cited an over-reliance by the series on contestant-based "theme" shows.

• NBC and Endemol had produced a Spanish-language version which debuted on October 8, 2006, on theirTelemundo Spanish-language channel. TitledVas o No Vas ("Go or No Go"), but titled on the English-languageclosed captioningTake It or Leave It, this version was hosted byHéctor Sandarti, who also hosted the Mexican version of the same name forTelevisa. The top prize was $250,000. The November 5, 2006, episode had the contestant winning $180,500 and aFord F-150 for a total of over $200,000, an all-time record for an American-based Spanish-language game show. However, this version was not as successful as the English version and was not renewed for a second season.
• After the conclusion ofSuper Bowl XLI on February 4, 2007,Deal or No Deal Canada, a special Canadian version ofDeal or No Deal, made its debut onGlobal. This version of the show, taped January 23, 2007, through January 25, 2007, inToronto, features Mandel, a Toronto native, as host. The series ran for five hour-long episodes.^[43] Applications for auditioning were very similar to the NBC version, except that no videos are required.^[44] The $400,000 was removed and had aToonie ($2) put on the left side. Since Mandel started filming again in Canada forHowie Do It, rumors have been spreading thatDeal or No Deal Canada may be returning as a real Canadian series and even a syndicated Canadian version, though it never resurfaced.
• Also in Canada,TVA has produced a French-Canadian version ofDeal or No Deal calledLe 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 U.S. version, has 26 cases with a $500,000 top prize, although there was one game where it was increased to $750,000. The only difference is that the models on the top row (cases 21–26) are men.
• All U.S. and Canadian editions are produced by Endemol USA, with the U.S. and Canadian English versions both using Scott St. John as Executive Producer and R. Brian DiPirro as Director.

Several states in the U.S. have had some kind ofDeal or No Dealscratch-off ticket,^[58] with the top prize determined by each lottery to the grand prize winner. Non-winning tickets may be used to enter a sweepstakes for a variety of prizes, including a chance to be on the game show.

In 2022,Princess Cruises presented a special version ofDeal or No Deal on select cruises, with the show first held aboardDiscovery Princess on March 27, 2022. Unlike the TV show format, the on-board shows had passengers playing the game, with the "case card" appearing on screen instead of the cases held by the models.
