What's the Deal?

ELLEN DEGENERES will be the first celebrity spokesmodel on NBC's Deal or No Deal. That's right -- it looks like Ellen will don a dress to be among the 26 briefcase-bearing beauties for her good friend, Deal or No Deal host HOWIE MANDEL. TV Guide reports that the show will be taped November 9th to air sometime in January 2008. Will Ellen be holding the million-dollar briefcase? Heck, more important than that: Will Ellen really wear a dress? Ellen's fans may -- or may not -- find out first, since Degeneres will bring her own film crew to the game show set, and tease her audience with a segment next month.

In other Deal or No Deal news, TV Guide reports that mid-December will bring "What's the Deal?" week, with the show airing every night with special guests and surprises. On December 12th, the accounting staff on the NBC comedy The Office guest stars, and ANGELA KINSEY, BRIAN BAUMGARTNER and OSCAR NUNEZ will all remain in character for the game show and assist a contestant who has trouble with numbers. And if you needed another reason to tune in to "What's the Deal?" week, all 26 ladies will be wearing bikinis every night.
