If no one has anything interesting to ask, I won't waste either of our times. Just make sure to tune in tomorrow night at 8/7c when your friend the Banker strikes again. Thanks for all your comments and questions.

Well Banker me and you have something in common we both like calculating the odds! I watch every single show and even tape the ones i will miss... I calculate the odds on whats in each of the cases! Like Mr. $10.00 (Brooks Leeche) I was screaming case 24 for the longest time and he just didnt listen...LOL Must of had beer on his mind! Anyways I'm sending in a tape hope yall pick me cuz it would be a great odds calculation battle ... Mine would of course be right! If i get chosen I want Mr. Brooks Leeche to be one of my guests...He was hilarious!

u r a kol dude and i want your job when i grow up i didnt put my real name but lets just say your show is a deal and do you like the modles you should go out w/1 of the because that would be very suspishes if she knew and we didnt so ill talk to you l8r ps keep talking on that phone for as long as you need

love,
the fuchter banker

Got some pie in your eye tonight?! Do you think it was for some time coming?

Hello there,
Reading a few of your comments, one particular answer caught my eyes. You replied to a person "cool down, man; it's just a game", or something along that line. Corroborated with the fact that you call yourself a "borderline psychic" it prompts me to ask you a couple of questions.
Well, it is just a game, indeed. However, scanning through the winners' list, one could not but notice that most or frequent winners come from three states: California, Colorado, and Washington. Of course, there are names from other states to ensure the "random" factor, yet the proportion is very small (talking...numbers, eh?). Is there any explanation for this FACT? How much of the "psychic" factor is involved in picking the winners of the "lucky case" at... "Random"? This show reminds me of the same deal noticed on the Overhaulin' show: people from all 50 states + Canada can apply for a car overhauling, yet only people from California are chosen. You guys indeed got the "random" factor down to...perfection. : Wink:
Nevermind talking further about the "surprise" on the contestants' faces when they are pulled from the audience... Coming with "it is still warm" pies made especially for Howie gives a hint for how "surprised" and "clueless" contestants are when picked from the crowd...
By the way, do you need to adhere to "acting weird and over joyous on the stage" in order to have a chance to get on the show?
One more thing: how "random" of a chance you folks give people to get on the show if they don't possess (hey, everyone wants to become contestant b/c of a financial rationale, isn't that right?) a camcorder or don't have the possibility to rent/borrow one, since sending a tape in is the benchmark for becoming a contestant? Some folks (detractors) might ask "hey, dude, what corner of the world you live in since you cannot afford/find a camcorder?"... But I guess I am not the only one mentioning not having a camcorder…

How do you get on the show? What are the requirements?
I would really like to try my hand at this.

great show.....i like the way u disguise yourself in that dark room of yours. never lose your cool :)

So, it seems that the pretty little lady with the terrific personalty got to both you Mr. Banker and Howie on Monday night. I have never seen you react up there in that room of yours, but you were bouncing in your chair Monday evening. And, Howie, he was so flattered when she asked for a kiss that he even forgot what your offer to her was at one point. Good to see some reaction from the two "in control" gents!

Heeeey Banker!!

why didn't ya wanna kiss Howie on the 11/6/06 show?? (:

WTF

Are you someone famous or someone we would recognize?

Do you know what's in the contestant's case ?

one more thing i love ur show, i watch it every time it is on.

also how come we never get to see your face?

hey Banker i was just wondering how u come up with the offers that u make?

Banker. I have a feeling your favorite game as a child was monoploy...am i right?! Arent you sad we cant see your face, i mean, wouldnt a little recognition be nice? On the other hand, there has to be a lot of people out there that hate you. Good call. "heavy is the head that wears the...redneck hat."

hey Banker I noticed your a little Baldddddd Is that a solar panel for your waterbed haaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Is Howie your freind? How do you come up with the offers.

OKAY Mr. Banker, Once gain I ask why Alaska can't participate in the home viewers lucky case via the internet? A brief geography lesson, Alaska is one of the continental United States. You can look on a map and see this for yourself.

Are you Donald Trump???

Are Canadians eligible to apply for the show? Dream come true for me and my family.

why is it that they never have a "guest banker"

YAh.............uh well if we don't haveany good questions, its not like you've got anything better. You think you are sooooo cool. Guess what? You are not, so take a chill pill and stop acting so rude bacause EVERYONE knows thats not the real you. So quit some of the acting, and dont do it for just the money!!! Thanks!!!!

Hey Banker ! I know where you guys came up with the show! The same show has been in Italy weekly for the last 2 years or so... right ?? Yes, we know !
The only difference is we have Howie and they don't !
Ciao, Ciao,

Why are you always in such a crappy mood online? I mean, what did we ever do to you? I thought that maybe you were pretty cool, but after reading your blog, I think you suck. I love DOND but now, I have a whole new hatred for you.

I did not see how the football coach ended up. Can you fill me in please?

Hey, Banker, you rock man, you're my second favorite team on Deal Or No Deal. Too bad there are only two teams, huh. Deal with it. Or not. To Deal, or not To Deal, that is the question. Yeah, whatever, Great Show Man! You just keep doing what you gotta do, and one day I might be on the show. Then we'll see who Deals with it. 'Til then.

I have an interesting question for you... are you Bill Gates if so, you are a genius. I love the show and I love the fact that you don't want your face seen so everyone can hate you. It's hard to be the bad guy when you're such a good person in real life.

Don't consider this sympathy but on Tuesday's show it seems they lightened the shadow - like you'd ever say yea or nay but I can at least make out that you're an older gentleman of at least 45, possibly 55 because of the texture in the shadows. Also, it appears you have glasses. Admittedly it does take away from the show to have the shadow lightened and it's nice to try to have to guess, BUT since they made that decision, can you confirm whether or not I'm at least close?

Hi Banker,

Does all the money for the DOND game come from advertising spots?

Thank you.

Hi from T.O.

As a suggestion...it would be great to see heart monitors on screen, really gather a sense of what these people are going through.

Hey Banker, I'm just Curious, How do you feel about Sunday Night Football? Now on NBC, BABY!

Next game features MY Patriots against the Broncos! GO PATS!

You Want a good question? Well...What is a question but an untold answer? The way you work is if you offer big, but not too big, then the case has more money in it. What do you think of Howie? Thnx Love your show:)

Pay no attention to Timothy...
His suggestion [aside from being stupid] defeats the purpose of the show all together.
WHY would anyone want to play so they could give their winnings to charity??
Maybe Tim should send in an app and video and get on the show himself, then he can give HIS money to his favorite charity [Lyme Disease]
I happen to have Chronic Lyme Disease [since 1993] but I don't think I would give ALL my winnings to a charity...maybe 10%.
Where do these mean people come from anyway?
SL

i love the show so much love it, and this is the best show ever.ilove tobe in the show but,i lived in MD so can u pick me please .

hey banker while your splashing all that green around why not do some good for once in your life .
I dare you I dble dare you fool to put every day people on the show but the twist is that th e money they win goes to there favorite charity Like mine the Lyme disease assoc. and I know theres a lot more that could do alot of good with all the cold hard cash .
But your a coward who doe's not have the cahonie's to dare buck the system !!! LOL come on banker show me i,m wrong or are you just the pupet on a string in the back room. Later Timothy Rowett
Highland lakes,NJ

I think you do a great job. Keep up the good work !

So?
You are The Banker.
I bet that's a great job!
Here is my question...
How do you calculate the offers made to players throughout the game?

I sent in a video and application for my husband, no response from NBC...maybe we'll have to send in another[?]

Take care
SL

i want to play how do i get started i love your show! You are only the bad guy for a minute but i am sure you are nice in person you are just doing your job right?

Love the show, the banker seems like he has no heart or sense of humor. I suppose it's because he is giving all his money away for people to win. I think you look like Kevin Costner!

how do i get on the show so i can win money to go to collage

Thanks for the laugh... Your off now... go home... feet up... no more dumb questions and see ya tomorrow! Sleep Well :o)

Why DON'T you talk on the show?

Why do you talk on the show?

Who is your favorite model or do ya have 1

Thanks for answering my questions :)

Thanks for answering our questions. Looking forward to the next show!

How do you know how much to make a deal for when you come up with the offers?????

I just got my reply back

from TXemesg.. Ur phone sys is to slow

Goodnight good Sir!

Banker what industry were you in previously, and my thought instead of the whole Steve Guttenburg is that you are just a normal actor no one in particular and all of the deals are actually made up by Howie... and you are just sitting there relaxing during the show... Mystery Solved!! :)

Yes even the banker has to sleep... big show tomorrow, thanks enjoyed your great sense of humor.

Thanks for taking the time to answer our questions, cya mr banker.

I'll have the TV on and the blog loaded up.

Thanks for answering my question.

Until tomorrow
Mega

How do you come up with the offer? Do you use a formula?

take care sir. I cant wait to see what happens tomorrow night. pleasant dreams to you Mr. Abbay
