Howie Mandel and Kris Aquino 'Deal or No Deal'

Kris Aquino about co-hosting with America's Deal or No Deal Howie Mandel, who will tape a special episode called Deal or No Deal—Around the World here in the Philippines: "I'm very, very honored and flattered. I'm also very excited about it. And I'm also very confident because I know that what we produced is a great show, so I know that even the Americans will still enjoy our version of Deal or No Deal."

Dubbed as Queen of Talk and Game Shows, Kris Aquino finally met her U.S. counterpart Howie Mandel of America's Deal or No Deal.

Hours after they arrived yesterday, April 22, Howie, Scott St. John, and the rest of Deal or No Deal group attended the media junket prepared by ABS-CBN for their two-hour special episode of Deal or No Deal—Around the World, part of which will be shot in ABS-CBN studio tomorrow, April 24.

For logistics reasons, according to Endemol (producer of Deal or No Deal), the Philippines was chosen as one of the three countries that would cover "around-the-world tour" in Asia, Europe, and Africa. The group has also taped an episode in Estonia in Europe. PEP
