ABOUT CLAUDIA JORAN
Actress-model Claudia Jordan became a game show, hosting and reality show staple thanks to her talent and charisma. Born April 12, 1973 in Providence, RI, Jordan was an all-star athlete who competed in track and field in three Junior Olympics, but she also represented her home state in the Miss Teen USA and Miss USA pageants. After stints as a correspondent for “The Best Damn Sports Show Period” (Fox Sports Net, 2001-09) and as one of “Barker’s Beauties” on “The Price Is Right” (CBS, 1972- ), Jordan became the model who held suitcase number one on the game show “Deal or No Deal” (NBC, 2005-09). Achieving surprising breakout success in this role, Jordan booked acting roles on such series as “City Guys” (NBC, 1997-2001) and “Modern Girl’s Guide to Life” (Style Network, 2003-06). A music video mainstay who appeared in clips by Fabolous and Backstreet Boys, Jordan also co-hosted “Miss Universe 2009” (NBC). Jordan achieved even greater popularity as a contestant on a celebrity installment of Donald Trump’s reality show “The Apprentice” (NBC, 2004- ), and proved so memorable that she returned for the 2012 “all-stars” season in 2013.
ABOUT DEAL OR NO DEAL ISLAND
The iconic game of “Deal or No Deal” is back and unlike anything you have ever seen before! Hosted by Joe Manganiello and executive produced by Howie Mandel, this new format transports 13 players to the elusive Banker’s private island where he makes the rules and there are twists behind every palm tree.
In “Deal or No Deal Island,” the iconic briefcases are hidden around the island and worth over $200 million in prize money split between them. In each episode, players compete in daring challenges to secure the briefcases that will be used in that night’s game of “Deal or No Deal.” The player who snags the highest-value case gains immunity and gets to choose a fellow player to enter “The Temple.”
The chosen competitor must then play a high-stakes game of “Deal or No Deal.” If the player makes a bad deal and accepts an offer that is a lesser value than what is in their chosen case, they are immediately eliminated. If the player makes a good deal and accepts an offer that is a higher value than what is in their case, the power is in their hands, and they get to select who to eliminate.
The winnings from each game of “Deal or No Deal” will be added to a group pot that will grow to an exponential value throughout the season. At the end of the season, the last player standing will face the Banker to potentially win the biggest prize in “Deal or No Deal” history.
However, the devious Banker is always watching and raising the stakes with tests of strategy and greed. Manganiello will serve as the gaming liaison – an intermediary between the Banker and contestants – overseeing gameplay and helping to navigate them through tough, life-changing decisions.
Produced by Endemol Shine North America “Deal or No Deal Island” is an exciting new competition format that has been reimagined from the original Banijay format, “Deal or No Deal.”
Executive producers are Matt Kunitz, Matt Apps, Sarah Happel Jackson, Howie Mandel and Endemol Shine North America’s Sharon Levy, DJ Nurre and Sean Loughlin.
