What happens

Deal or No Deal Canada is the Canadian English-language version of the show Deal or No Deal, which premiered on February 4, 2007. The show ran on the Global Television Network and lasted five episodes. The host of the American version, Canadian-born Howie Mandel, hosts the Canadian version of the show. The producer and director of the United States version, Scott St. John and R. Brian DiPirro, respectively, also went to Canada to produce this version. The show was taped at the Canadian Broadcasting Centre in Toronto on January 23, 24, and 25, 2007, after receiving 112,767 applications from prospective players. The first episode aired on Sunday, February 4, 2007. This episode attracted 2.7 million viewers, making it the single highest-rated Canadian program ever on Global. The remaining episodes aired over the following four consecutive Thursdays, with the finale on March 1, 2007. Despite the show's success in its brief five-episode run, Global never picked up the show for a full-season run. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
