First we had the Million-Dollar Mission, which was a huge failure, and now we have this...

From www.gameshownewsnet.com :
Ellen DeGeneres, most known for her Emmy-award winning daytime talk show, is set to appear on NBC's Deal or No Deal, not as a celebrity contestant nor guest banker, but as one of the 26 briefcase models.

According to Access Hollywood, NBC will be shooting DeGeneres' Deal or No Deal episode on November 9, and will air it sometime in January 2008. TV Guide, however, is reporting that fans of DeGeneres will get a sneak peek into the episode as the 49-year-old actress-comedienne plans to bring her own film crew to the shoot. The teasers will air on DeGeneres talk show in November.

"Ellen is a great supporter of the show and we were looking for our first celebrity model. Who better to do that than Ellen?" Libby Hansen, NBC's vice president of alternative series and specials, told TV Guide.

Loyal fans of NBC's The Office will also be delighted to know that some of the comedy series' stars are also set to guest-appear on Deal or No Deal. The network told TV Guide that the show's accounting staff, played by Angela Kinsey, Brian Baumgartner and Oscar Nunez, taped their episode on September 28, and will be seen on the primetime game show on December 12.

All three actors will be in character throughout the whole broadcast, helping a contestant who has trouble with numbers.

The week in which the Office accountants are set to appear has been dubbed “What's the Deal?” week, and will have nightly airings of Deal or No Deal. The week will feature “special guests” and “twists,” and will have all 26 models sporting bikinis instead of the usual dresses.

Good Lord, what will they think of next? They're really milking this show for all it's got. What do the rest of you think of this?

The strategy NBC clearly have with this show is 'keep pouring on everything we can on top of a simple game'.

I'm really unsure if it's good or not but it's attention-grabbing and draws viewers in so it's going to keep on coming.

Of those twists, the one that sounds best is the idea of in-character actors helping a contestant. The worst is going five nights straight.
