It’s just a game
‘Deal or No Deal’ to have auditions in South Florida.
Remember the former NBC game show “Deal or No Deal” with Howie Mandel? It’s coming back and the show is looking for South Florida contestants.
Open auditions for “fun, energetic” people will take place 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday at Gulfstream Park, 901 S. Federal Highway, in Hallandale Beach.
The show, which aired on NBC from 2005 to 2009, will be coming back this fall on CNBC with Mandel as host.
During the NBC Upfronts this week when the network announced next year’s programming, Mandel told AdWeek that anyone can play the game, which requires contestants to pick a numbered briefcase out of 26 and each case has a cash value from a penny to $1 million. Players have to contend with “the Banker” who makes them offers.
“There’s no skill. There’s no trivia. It’s just a very visceral kind of experience where you watch people and you kind of know what you would do if you were in their position. You scream at the TV,” he said.
Fun fact: Meghan Markle, who will be marrying Prince Harry this weekend, was one of the models who turned the briefcases around for contestants during her 2006-2007 run on the show. She was briefcase model #24. Markle then went on to star in the USA network show “Suits.”
If you can’t make the casting call, you can apply online where you have to answer questions about yourself and submit a photo. A 30-second video that shows off your personality is also suggested. You need to be at least 21 years old.
