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.”
