Once it became a regular series, "Deal or No Deal" consistently placed within the 20 most popular programs on television, at times landing the top 10. The 6/5/06 two-hour season finale, which featured Celine Dion via satellite, marked a series-high rating for the program, bringing in over 18 million viewers and a strong 5.5 share in the 18–49 demographic. The episode was easily the highest-rated show on any network for the week of June 5, 2006 through June 11, 2006, outdistancing the number-two show, a repeat episode of "", by almost six million viewers. The finale experienced similar success in Canada, with 1.5 million viewers tuning in. (However, "CSI" and nearly all other fall TV series had completed their seasons two weeks earlier and were either in reruns or pre-empted by this point.)
