DEAL OR NO DEAL — Episode 361 — Pictured: Chewbacca, Darth Vader, R2-D2 — NBC Photo: Adam Taylor
“Deal or No Deal” visits a galaxy far, far away with a special two-hour “winner takes all” Star Wars-themed episode on Monday, April 28.
Guest supporters for the show include Carrie Fisher, Chewbacca, R2D2 and Darth Vader as the villainous banker.
Hosted by Howie Mandel, “Deal or No Deal” is a game show where contestants play and deal for a top prize of $1 million in a contest of nerves, instincts and intuition.
I think the 26 models in “Slave Leia” bikinis, if nothing else, should juice “Deal’s” ratings for the night.
