Best,

When will the prime time Deal or No Deal show come back on the air? I had a phone audition 3/08 and have been holding my breath for a call from them ever since!!! Should I send another application & video? Thank You. Toni

Hi Tonja,

I really don’t know when the show will be back with any regularity – or even if it will at all. There are three episodes scheduled to air in May, and after that there’s no news whatsoever. I’d hold off on sending anything, especially if you’ve already heard from them.

As soon as I hear anything either way though, it’ll be posted!

ms. kris im always praying to be a contestant of deal or no deal game show.i already registered through text as per advice of concerns in customer service hotline.i really need ur support my mother having a cancer stage 3 so i sent this messege.im living at angono,rizal.

its been 2 years since i have sent my application in.

Where do you mail the application for deal or no deal??

I tried out twice was even asked back to have a typed interview with a mock game with Neal Konstantini I have been waiting 2 years 2 months 16days I am still very hopeul I will get the call!!! I dont care if it is the daytime version or Primetime version..I am a huge fan and I love the show!!!!

I think that on Deal or No Deal they should
let the homeless and they less unfortunate people play to give them a chance to get some where in life.

Deal or no Deal was such a hit in prime time!!The people of America want it back on the air. We want the original version, with needy contestants that the viewing audience can relate to like ME for example! Who do we contact to make Deal or No Deal come back to prime time t.v.?

The ratings show that the people of America do not want it back on the air.

Hello, Howie I love your game show, I would love to be a contensant and have a blast with you and your crew! I am trying very hard to find the application and get my ducks in a row so hopefully i will get to see you soon

THIS IS GLORIA AND JOE CARBO FROM NEW YORK
WE SENT IN A WHOLE PACKAGE OF THE NECESSARY
INFORMTION NEEDED TO APPEAR ON DEAL OR NODEAL.
IT TOOK TIME AND MONEY. IT WAS RETURNED TODAY
WITH MOVED LEFT NO ADDRESS. WHAT’S GOING ON?
THE ADDRESS WE SENT TO WAS DEAL OR NODEAL
CASTING P.O. BOX 1916
CULVER CITY, CA 90332 DISSAPPOINTED FANS!

I do not work for Deal or No Deal, but I’m guessing that is the address that the Prime Time version of Deal or No Deal uses for casting videos. I can see two problems with sending things there, one Deal or No Deal, NBC’s Prime Time show is no longer casting or taping new episodes. Also, the entire set has been moved to Waterford, CT. If you’d like to apply to be a contestant go to:

http://dealornodealtv.com/
and Click “Be A Contestant” or “Casting Calender”. Or you can use this link that goes directly to their online application:

Good luck

Gloria, there are two possible reasons why your application package didn’t go through. The First, The entire Deal or no Deal operation has moved to Connecticut. Also that is the instructions for sending in material for the Prime Time network version of DOND. They are no longer taping new episodes or casting for that. If you’d like to apply for the syndicated day-time edition you can go here:

Then click “Be A Contestant” or “Casting Calender”

Does anyone think there should be a children or teen version or special episode to the show? There have been special episodes with Don’t Forget the Lyrics, Jeopardy, and Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Why not this show too? I’m stressing the age limit too, normally cut offs for a kid’s episode is 12, and that’s not giving a chance towards older children.

Nadia, there are certain game shows unsuitable for kids to be playing. While Deal or No Deal is popular among even very young kids and there are occasionally children in the audience as relatives of the player, young kids should not actually be the ones up there gambling such large amounts of money, even at lower stakes. I don’t think even teenagers are able to comprehend the idea. Young Jeopardy! games worked because it was a game of knowledge, and its only gambling parts (Daily Doubles and Final Jeopardy) allow you to use what you think you know to make your wager. Deal or No Deal is a pure game of chance, and kids just are unable to understand the game properly.

The only possible way to work the show is to have the parents be the supporters, but since they’ll pretty much always do what Mommy and/or Daddy say, the idea is redundant anyways, and the show will lack anything resembling suspense in the decision phase of the game. Can a Deal or No Deal game really have any less suspense than we’ve seen NBC show us over the last year?

I disagree with Andrew completely children and teenagers are far more cognisant than so called older wiser adults give them credit for. Children and teenagers understand far more than adults think especially with information available to anyone who can use a keyboard and a mouse.

If you haven’t played the game yourself, for real money, you won’t understand exactly how difficult it would be for a young child to play it for real money.

Kids are smarter than you think they are, and I agree with you there. *coughAreYouSmarterThanA5thGradercough*

But even from the perspective of someone who hasn’t played the game, I can tell that opinions will likely change either when you become a parent yourself, or the moment you go up there and gamble the money for real. It’s stressful, and you cannot expect a young child to go through this (and play the game right to boot!) As I’ve said, Jeopardy is one thing, and Deal or No Deal is another.

Has any parent whose kid watches Deal or No Deal ever heard your little one yell “NO DEAL” on offers they would never dream of refusing if they were grown up? There’s a reason why kids are not allowed to gamble at casinos, and it’s because they are not cognizant of the need to gamble responsibly.

Fair enough, an adult who on a day to day basis deals with money would have a better chance of understanding whether to gamble or not, I still think that a “High School Seniors Week” might still be appropriate. They have tons of college expenses coming up.

Andrew b. is so negative, its interesting to see something so easy still be challenging and FUN! Lets not forget Deal or No Deal was RATED THE BEST GAME SHOW 2008!!! And yes, I agree, a special week of children(12 & up) with parents advising as supporters would be great t.v.!!! Watch how many other kids start watching a game show instead of their myspace.

Are there still auditions for deal or no deal and how do I get on? I’m ready to go!!!

always want to be come one of your contestant will like to know what i need to do pls and i enjouy watching this show everyday
