How to Become a Contestant on Deal Or No Deal
Hosted by Howie Mandel, it gives contestants the chance to win one million dollars if they can correctly eliminate all the briefcases except for the one which contains the one million dollar prize.
One of the reasons that people love this show is that it doesn't require the contestant to answer any difficult questions like a typical game show.
It's a refreshing and unique concept.
Perhaps while watching the show you thought to yourself, "I could do that".
The good news is: yes you can! NBC is always looking for people just like you to feature on their television program.
Here is what you need to do: 1.
Check NBC's website to see if they are having any casting calls in your area.
This usually isn't the case, but it can give you the highest probability of getting on the show.
Rather than competing against people from all over the United States, you only need to compete against the folks in your own hometown.
2.
If there aren't any upcoming casting calls in your area, then you need to make a short video.
NBC requests that this video is a maximum of 5 minutes long.
The video should include yourself as well as your friends and family who you will be bringing along for support.
The goal of your video should be to stand out from the crowd.
It is important to remember that NBC gets hundreds of these videos from all over the country.
They are looking for someone with a big personality who is instantly likable so that viewers will enjoy watching them on TV.
One of the biggest reasons for the success of Deal or No Deal is NBC's excellent ability to choose the contestants.
Since the show doesn't feature quiz-show questions, all that remains for entertainment are the interactions between yourself and Howie.
So your video should showcase yourself as enthusiastic, full of energy, and happy.
If you can capture some moments of yourself being funny, you should definitely include those.
You should say why you deserve the million dollars and what you will do with it if you win.
You should have a good story to go along with your personality.
If you can present yourself as someone who works hard and contributes to others but is currently down on their luck, then that is the beginning of a compelling story.
Edit your video together into a 5 minute presentation.
You might want to shoot a few hours of film so that you can take only the best clips to make a dynamite 5 minute video.
Finally, you need to carefully make sure that you follow all of NBC's official guidelines.
This means that you can only send in a VHS videotape (no DVD's) which is clearly labeled with your name, phone number, and address.
You also need to send in photos of yourself and all your supporters, with their name and phone number clearly also clearly labeled on the back of each photo.
Send in the required application along with these items, make sure the video has been rewound, and you should be all set.
