I think TV Patrol has reported that Howie Mandel, the host of ‘Deal or No Deal’ USA, arrived here in the Philippines (I think) last April 22, 2008 to tape a two-hour special of ‘Deal or No Deal: Around the World’. Their first stop was here in our beloved country. The show featured our version (actually nothing different from DOND USA) of Deal or No Deal; the studio, the girls (26K), the Filipino Banker 
, and Ms. Kris Aquino (of course) except that it have American contestants (of course, that is their show) and Howie (their host).
Last May 5 (I think), it was scheduled to be aired in the US at NBC. After I got home, I searched for the video. I was very excited to watch this. 
I think, I searched a number of video hosting sites. But I failed to find it. Tomorrow night, immediately after eating dinner, I searched again for the video. Eureka! I was very very excited to watch it to the point that my heart pounds very hard. I got my excitement for quite a long time because I asked also my mother to watch together with me. But she had to wash the dishes first so I waited… With full excitement, I was very happy to see again the studio and the sound, ohh, was like very smooth music to my ears. I got emotionally high at that time. I really miss ‘Kapamilya, Deal or No Deal’ but now I arrive at home at around 7:30PM so I won’t be able to watch any show except for ‘The Singing Bee’. But I think, “Wheel of Fortune’ is much entertaining than KDOND. Back to topic, I was very very happy to watch this show again. I really appreciated that they still used the whole KDOND theme (from the studio to the camera angles. I told you so, I’m so into details with these kind of shows.) except for the title card for obvious reasons.
My only comment for this episode is…
- Kris was most of the time standing at the corner. It would have been better if she shared some hosting stints with Howie. (In comparison to when they went to Estonia, their second stop, next to The Philippines.)
I found it very fun when…
- Kris showed Howie how to ask the question, ‘Deal or no deal?’. Kris said, “You have to do the swivel.”
- Howie was presented a ‘balot’ and the way they say it: ‘ba-loot’.
My questions regarding the teaser are…
- Why is the font used in the teaser was yellow with red background?
- When did Kris mentioned 42 million pesos? I didnt noticed it all through out the show.
Anyway, this video made my day.
