7 Most Surprising Claims Meghan Markle’s Former Costars Have

Howie Mandel Forgot About Meghan And Later Defended Her

Of all the roles Meghan Markle had as an actor, many consider her time on Deal Or No Deal to be the most demeaning. She played one of the many beautiful women who held up the briefcases which contestants had to choose from as they played. And while there is nothing inherently demeaning about the gig, it is a tad shocking to look back and see that a future member of the Royal Family was once nothing more than eye candy on a second-rate game show.

The show was hosted by Howie Mandel, and in a 2022 appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored, the show host confessed that “I don’t remember her to this day.” Some tabloids ran with this and attacked Meghan for just being that unremarkable and unmemorable, which caused Mandel to later jump to her defense regarding her comments that she didn’t like how the show made her feel. In an interview with Us Weekly, Mandel said “I don’t think Meghan is complaining. I think Meghan just said she wanted to do more” and admitted that he didn’t really love how the show made him feel, either.
