Who is the Host of ‘Deal or No Deal Island’?
In September 2023, NBC announced that Joe Manganiello would helm the show.
Corie Henson, NBCUniversal Entertainment’s executive vice president of unscripted content, stated, "The role of Deal or No Deal host has always been held by someone charming, hilarious and devastatingly handsome. When we took the show out of the studio and transported the game to the Banker’s island, Joe was the obvious choice. He loves all kinds of games, lives for adventure and isn’t afraid to stare down a snake or two to help players win a life-changing payday and, hopefully, beat the Banker at his own game."
