Donald Trump to play the Banker on Deal or No Deal - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 08-17-2007, 09:40 PM

The only innovation (if you can even call this an "innovation") on NBC's Deal Or No Deal is that you never see or hear the Banker. He's just a mysterious man in shadow who calls up Howie Mandel several times during the show and offers money to the contestants. But now, for at least one episode, we're actually going to see and hear him.

Donald Trump will play the Banker in the season premiere of the hit game show. The episode will also feature another first: someone who plays at home will be guaranteed to win a million dollars. I guess this is good publicity for The Donald and makes sure he's still in the public eye until that celebrity edition of The Apprentice premieres. Judging by a photo on the set of the game show, he'll actually be on stage with Howie and the contestants for at least part of the game and not just in the booth above.

The episode airs on September 17.

I wonder how Howie feels about this?

Howie had a pretty good thing going - a hit show after being off TV for a while, now he has to share the stage with Trump?

is that when the new season Debuts on NBC

The show was taped on July 31st & from what I understand, it was a very funny episode. I am looking foward to the new season of the show

There will be a smaller syndicated version of the show in addition to the regular show.

Yeah I wish Donald Trump would go away too. I don't want him taking over our favorite Game Shows.
