=== [[Game Show Tropes]] in use: ===
* [[Carried Byby the Host]]: Well, maybe more by the ladies, but Howie defined the show for Americans.
** Andrew O'Keefe basically '''is''' the Australian version. Even after 1,000+ episodes, he still has the same enthusiasm as he did on the first day.
** Noel Edmonds is this for the British version, for better or worse. He tends to share this trope with the contestants — after all, some of those holding the boxes have been there for ''weeks''!
Line 32:
* [[Product Placement]]: Some cases in the syndicated run promoted HP, Listerine, Sears, Splenda, Evian, and Visine-A.
* [[Show the Folks At Home]]: See [[Trailers Always Spoil]], below.
* [[Who Wants to Be Who Wants Toto Be Aa Millionaire?]]: NBC managed to follow ABC's ''Millionaire'' lead and run the show so many times per week people got bored of it. The 2007-08 Writers Strike didn't help matters any, as ''Deal'' and other games were used to plug the holes left by dramatic programming.
* [[Zonk]]: What happens when you knock out the big prizes early in the game.
** The Christmas 2007 episode featured gag prizes in lieu of certain small amounts. The case usually reserved for 1¢ contained a "Lump Of Coal", for example.
