Deal! CNBC has greenlit a new “Deal or No Deal” hosted by Howie Mandel, which will debut during primetime in the fourth quarter of 2018. Mandel will also executive produce the game show.
Mandel, who hosted the original series that ran on NBC from 2005-2009, will be joined by executive producer and showrunner of the original series, Scott St. John, for the latest version.
“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.
