Deal or No Deal: An American Game Show

• Deal or No Deal is an American game show that premiered on December 19, 2005, on NBC.

• The hour-long show typically aired at least twice a week during its run, and included special extended or theme episodes.

• The game is primarily unchanged from the international format: a contestant chooses one briefcase from a selection of 26.

• The show was a success for NBC, typically averaging from 10 to 16 million viewers each episode in the first season.

• 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 series Howie Do It.

• The network later announced that Deal or No Deal would return on May 4, 2009, to air its remaining episodes.

• 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 on CNBC on December 5, 2018.

• The contestant chooses one of 26 numbered briefcases at the start of the game. These cases, carried by twenty-six identically dressed female models, each hold a different cash amount from $0.01 to $1,000,000.

• The Banker's offer is typically a percentage of the average of the values still in play at the end of each round.

• On Deal or No Deal, the values hidden in the 26 briefcases typically range from US$0.01 to US$1,000,000 (all 26 cases total US$3,418,416.01).Deal or No Deal: A Game Show with a Briefcase Full of Money
