I've often wondered when we'd see a celebrity version of Deal or No Deal. Sure, we get to see special celebrity guests and had a celebrity case model, but there haven't been any famous faces playing the game for charity yet. Well, this exact scenario is about to happen, with a very big celebrity playing the game, only it's going to happen in Turkey.
Grammy-winning pop star Christina Aguilera has agreed to play the Turkish version of Deal, called Var Misin Yok Musun, where she will also perform two of her songs for the audience. The show has been recorded and will air on October 19th. Apparently Aguilera was impressed with the host of the Turkish game, and appreciates that the format there is a little looser and more fun.
The U.S. version of Deal or No Deal revolves almost entirely around the contestants and their lives and circumstances, so that could be why we haven't had a celeb playing the game yet. But I could still see it happening, with the focus of the show on the charity involved. Would you like to see something like this, or do you prefer ordinary contestants playing for themselves?
