The full identity of the season 2 banker can be revealed, and it is none other than Chrissy Teigen. The move is a full circle one for Teigen, who was "Deal or No Deal’s" original case number 12 briefcase model when the game show first launched in 2005.
However, instead of opening briefcases, now Teigen will be facing off against either David Genat or Alexis Lete during the final Banker’s Temple… with more than $10 million on the line.
“I love the show!” she exclaims. “I watched the first season — riveting, amazing, incredible. I'm a TV junkie. I was addicted from the first episode.”
“Obviously I was on Deal or No Deal, and that was such a big part of my history,” she recalls. “It was one of my first jobs in entertainment ever. And I really learned so much. It was my first time on a big stage and just having an [ear piece], all the little things — it's what started everything. And I got to work with really incredible women that I saw, I really looked up to, and they were just so good at what they did.”
