LOS ANGELES (AP) - The promise of an easy million bucks, a stage crowded with sexy models and the smoothly calibrated charm of host Howie Mandel made "Deal or No Deal" an unexpected hit in television's December dead zone.
Now the NBC game show, returning 8 p.m. EST Monday for five consecutive days, is getting the chance to prove it's the real deal and can compete in the thick of the TV season.
Based on a series that debuted in Holland in 2002 and became an international hit, "Deal or No Deal" is about luck and playing the odds.
