Deal or No Deal

Diane Jorgenson said that when she watches episodes of Deal or No Deal, one of her biggest pet peeves is when a contestant opens a large amount and says "Oh, that's okay! That's okay!" For this reason, Diane didn't say this when she opened cases with large amounts, and she didn't allow Howie to say it, either. They could, however, say "That's okay" if a small amount was opened.

Diane Jorgenson's daughter admitted that she stood in the freezing cold for hours with her mother while she auditioned for the show. The daughter said that Diane even had a diaper with her because she didn't want to have to leave the line for any reason.
