Video: ‘Deal or No Deal’s’ Scott St. John

Sep 2, 2008  •  Post A Comment

NBC Universal Domestic Television Distribution and Endemol USA will attempt to translate “Deal or No Deal’s” prime time success into daytime with what some analysts are calling the highest-profile rookie show of the syndication season.
The syndicated version will feature all the key elements of the prime-time series, including the models, the Banker, the set and Howie Mandel as host. Behind the scenes, essentially the same team from Endemol USA, led by executive producer Scott St. John, will run the show.
NBC Universal Domestic Television Distribution has told stations the top prize for the Monday-Friday game show will be doubled from original expectations to $500,000.

“This was sold with the top prize being $250,000, but we decided the game would be better with the bigger prize money,” said Barry Wallach, president of NBCU Domestic Television Distribution. “There’s more excitement, and we decided to bite the bullet and give away more money.”
Viewers can expect contestants to choose between 22 cases as they work their way toward the top prize, instead of the 26 in the prime-time show this fall. In addition, the series will host 22 potential contestants holding the cases every week. The famed “Deal” models will help open the cases as the contestants get selected to play.
In every episode, one contestant will be selected by the “Deal Wheel,” which spins a ball to decide which of the 22 will play that day.
“With 22 real people able to play on any given day, viewers will get to know them throughout the week,” Mr. Wallach explained. “This will allow Howie to interact with them all and bring his humor to the show, even as he moves them through the program at a faster pace. He absolutely loves this format, because he finds the energy level to be intense.”
In addition, the company is adding a digital element to the syndicated “Deal,” giving away $10,000 online every week to viewers who register through their local affiliate.
“Stations are thrilled with this, as it’s a huge Web driver for them,” Mr. Wallach said. “In prime time, ‘Deal or No Deal’s’ Lucky Case became one of the most popular online games, and we are now able to bring that element to our daytime series as well.”
The series, which is cleared in more than 98% of the country, launches Sept. 8.

  3. Scott,
    I have a great idea for a new game show that will be a winner and would touch the hearts of Americans and actually could go global.
    How do I contact you to discuss? My email is lmoretto@amsmortgageloans.com

  4. Dear Scott,
    Ive read many of the comments you receive. WOW! However, I am a 50 year old man who has worked for UPS for over 25 years. I have an idea for the DEAL OR NO DEAL show. Having a UPS (United Parcel Service) driver in uniform as a contestant! The girls also in UPS uniforms as well as a sexy hat will surely bring in great ratings.
    You have 500,000 plus employees and their families. Not to mention everyone loves their UPS driver (and the brown socks…What can brown do for you?)I would love to be a contestant. UPS also contributes to United Way as well as most drivers. I have great humor and would love to audition. Where do I sign up? My email is bulkstop@yahoo.com Thank you Daniel

  11. You should consider writing a suggestion of websites for people who like this. I found your blog sometime last week while surfing the internet, but I am not really into the blog thing. Not because I do not fancy blogs, but more than likely due to the fact that I’m slightly slow to them.

  12. Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
