Are you excitable? "Deal or No Deal'' wants YOU!

If you've always wanted to get close enough to noted germ phobe Howie Mandel to make him nervous on prime-time TV, here's your chance.

“Deal or No Deal’’ -- the wildly popular NBC game show he hosts, the one your parents probably love -- is coming to Green Bay, looking for potential millionaires. An open call for contestants will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. April 2 at Bay Park Square mall in Ashwaubenon.

The casting crew is seeking “energetic, charismatic and outgoing individuals who can think quickly on their feet.’’ Translation: People who jump around a lot, scream and get emotional make for good TV. Low-key types do not.

Candidates must be at least 18 years old and a legal resident of the United States.

People interested in trying out just need to show up on April 2. The line will close at 4 p.m. sharp.

Mandel is not scheduled to make the trip to Green Bay for the casting call. You'll have to wait to not shake hands with him when you get on the show.

As much as I would love to find out whether I could see my reflection in Howie Mandel's shiny, bald head, I don't think I could muster the enthusiasm to audition. A million dollars would be fantastic, but I think I'd rather be my dry, cynical self instead of one of those nutty people taunting the banker. Besides, has anyone ever even won the jackpot?

I know the casting call is April 2 1-4PM but where is the location?

Hi,
Do you think people will be camped out overnight to get in line?

Will it be easily identifiable as to where people need to go in the mall (or outside the mall anticipating a very long wait in line that leads outside)? And where does one park if they don't know the area very well?
