How To Watch Meghan Markle’s ‘Deal Or No Deal’ Episodes
Before she was engaged to Prince Harry and before she was on “Suits,” Meghan Markle was making a living as a “Deal or No Deal” model. Fans will have the chance to catch up on her episodes this weekend.
Game Show Network will air Meghan’s “Deal or No Deal” episodes in a six-hour marathon on Sunday, Jan. 21. The binge-a-thon kicks off at 9 a.m. EST on GSN and will end at 3 p.m.
“Deal or No Deal” is a game show that ran in the U.S. from 2005 to 2010, hosted by Howie Mandel. The game involves contestants choose random briefcases in the hopes that the cases do not contain a large amount of money. The cases they choose are taken out of play. Ideally, only cases with large amounts remain when it comoes time to make a deal.
Meghan was one of the many pretty women who opened the cases, but she doesn’t consider her “Deal or No Deal” gig a real highlight in her career.
“I would put that in the category of things I was doing while I was auditioning to try to make ends meet,” she told Esquire in 2013. “I went from working in the U.S. Embassy in Argentina to ending up on Deal. It’s run the gamut. Definitely working on ‘Deal or No Deal’ was a learning experience, and it helped me to understand what I would rather be doing.”
She added that it wasn’t a very comfortable job either. Though the fashion-forward fiancée loves a pair of good heels, she was not a fan of the show’s cheap footwear. “I was the ill-fated number 26, which for some reason no one would ever choose,” she added. “I would end up standing up there forever in these terribly uncomfortable and inexpensive five-inch heels just waiting for someone to pick my number so I could go and sit down.”
Game Show Network will also sit down with Markle’s “Deal or No Deal” cast mates to find out what Prince Harry’s fiancée was like before meeting the royal family. Their interviews will be part of the one-hour documentary, “Cover Story: Meghan Markle — The Prince and the Game Show Model,” airing Sunday night.
The special will also include interviews with Meghan’s sister Samantha Markle, the owners of the yogurt shop where Meghan worked as a teen and Larry King. The TV host is one of very few people to have interviewed both Princess Diana and Markle.
As previously reported, King says in the documentary that Princess Diana would have approved of Meghan and Harry’s relationship. “Princess Diana would’ve loved this. Would’ve loved this, and she wanted the monarchy to become more every day and having an interracial marriage in the monarchy of London is a great step forward,” King says in a clip from the special.
“Cover Story: Meghan Markle — The Prince and the Game Show Model” premieres Sunday, Jan. 21 at 7 p.m. EST on Game Show Network.
