CNBC Revives DEAL OR NO DEAL with Howie Mandel

CNBC has ordered a new version of DEAL OR NO DEAL, starring longtime host Howie Mandel. The game show featured contestants picking a suitcase (which contained an amount of money ranging from a penny to one million dollars) and then opening the remaining ones as they decided whether to stick with their original choice or take a alternate deal.

“Our primetime programs, with their focus on business and money, strive to be both entertaining and instructive. Shows like THE PROFIT and SHARK TANK are built around high stakes and high rewards. Those same elements live at the heart of DEAL OR NO DEAL, which is why we believe it to be a perfect fit,” said CNBC Chairman Mark Hoffman in a statement. “Today’s announcement confirms our deep commitment to primetime, strengthening our line-up, by adding one of the most successful game shows of all time along with the popular, original host, Howie Mandel.”

“Having been in this business for 40 years, I’ve been involved in every kind of production – live, variety, drama, film and animation. Nothing changed my life, career and perception of humanity more than one project, and that was DEAL OR NO DEAL,”said Mandel. “I am excited to re-embark on the most thrilling, life-changing show with the brilliant Scott St. John and our new partners at CNBC. For me, there was only one answer to that iconic question and I am proud to have said DEAL!”

DEAL OR NO DEAL is returning to television later this year.
