Howie Mandel, the former host of "Deal or No Deal," has weighed in on Meghan Markle's dissatisfaction with her NBC days. In an interview with Us Weekly, the television personality said he understands where Markle is coming from.
"I get it because — and I've never said this before — they had this pyramid of 26 beautiful, intelligent women standing there just staring at me like I was a piece of meat," Mandel said in an interview published Thursday. "I was in the center, just dressed up in a suit and I felt like, 'I am more than this.'"
Mandel, who hosted the NBC show from 2005 to 2019, said he "felt like nothing" on the series, prompting his move to "America's Got Talent." In a recent episode of her "Archetypes" podcast, Meghan revealed that modeling with a suitcase on "Deal or No Deal" made her feel like a "bimbo" with "all looks and little substance."
