00:00It's Deal or No Deal time, and here's your host, Grant Dendier.
00:16Hello, that's a seal.
00:18We're going to Deal or No Deal.
00:21Let's see if we can send someone out of here.
00:23We want $100,000 in their pocket.
00:27I love this so much.
00:28I don't know what, I'm just going to get a shot at it.
00:31I'm looking for Antonio Liberatore.
00:37Where are you?
00:38There he is.
00:41Hello, Antonio.
00:43Hello, my friend.
00:45Lovely to meet you.
00:47How does this feel?
00:48Huge.
00:51So you have watched the show a few times?
00:53All the time.
00:54All the time?
00:55I'm going to practice to catch the best cassette, 100.
01:00Oh, 100,000.
01:01Yeah.
01:02And the one I chose is the big one.
01:05All the rest is Chuck O'Veille.
01:09Who are you looking at over there?
01:11Who's that?
01:12It's my granddaughter.
01:13She can help me.
01:14That's your granddaughter?
01:15What's her name?
01:15In French, JT.
01:17That's what I mean, I love you.
01:19Oh.
01:20She's beautiful like me.
01:24Well, if she's so beautiful and you guys came here together, I don't know.
01:27Would you like her to come down and play with you today?
01:29Yes, please.
01:30Yeah?
01:30Yeah.
01:31All right then.
01:31Come on.
01:32Good luck to meet you.
01:37Hey, girls.
01:37Happy to meet you.
01:39Thanks, Nunga.
01:40Feels like a bit of a legend right here.
01:42Oh, absolutely.
01:43He's the one and only.
01:45When I said to my friend, I got a migraine told her beautiful like me, you know what they
01:51said?
01:51What did they say?
01:52Oh, poor girl, never married.
01:53Oh, no.
01:55She's going to be your perfect wing person to wing you $100,000.
02:01Should we do it right now?
02:01Yeah, let's do it!
02:04Antonio, you've got 22 cases to choose from, okay?
02:06We just need one.
02:07You know how it works.
02:1019.
02:1119.
02:12Hello?
02:13Thank you so much.
02:16All right.
02:16What do you reckon, Ella?
02:18I think I'm feeling about this one.
02:20You ready, Antonio?
02:21That's it.
02:23Raise it high.
02:23Let's lift the roof off this show to win $100,000, because it's deal time.
02:28Does case number 19 contain $100,000?
02:33To find out, let's play Deal or No Deal.
02:40Antonio, with just a couple of clever choices, hopefully you can walk out of here rich.
02:47How does that sound, Antonio?
02:50Yeah.
02:51Take it all, please, Mr Denya.
02:53All we're going to do is open six cases to start with, and then we'll get our first
02:57offer from the bank, and then we'll take it from there.
03:00Are you ready?
03:00All right.
03:01Let's play!
03:03You can start anywhere, Antonio.
03:05Where would you like to start?
03:07Which one are you picking first?
03:0917.
03:11Nice choice.
03:12Chloe, what do you think you have?
03:13I'm going to go 250.
03:14Yeah, let's do that.
03:15Good luck.
03:17Oh!
03:19Yeah, don't worry.
03:20What about the ceiling?
03:21No, 75,000 is the first case we open, Antonio.
03:25Can you believe it?
03:26Yeah, no.
03:29That's not what we wanted to do.
03:31No.
03:31It can close the cassette.
03:33Close it back up, thanks.
03:34Oh, no, we can't go backwards.
03:38Tell me about yourself.
03:39Are you retired?
03:40Not yet.
03:40Not yet?
03:42Three days a week at work.
03:43What kind of work do you do?
03:45I'm a chef.
03:46Wow.
03:47Been a chef for a long time?
03:4973 years in the kitchen.
03:5273 years in the kitchen?
03:54Are you joking?
03:54You must have a lot of passion for cooking.
04:00Especially for the Prime Minister in Canberra.
04:05You cook for the Prime Minister?
04:07Oh, are you joking?
04:08Oh, stop me.
04:09For the Minister, President of the City.
04:13All the big, important dignitaries.
04:15Yeah.
04:15That's a very, very serious role.
04:18Four bags a week, a week, full live lobster.
04:23Oh, lobster.
04:24So that's where our tax dollars go.
04:27Fantastic.
04:28I have a feeling this man has a lot of wonderful stories.
04:31Oh, absolutely.
04:32He's always the heart of the family.
04:34He invites everybody over.
04:36He's so generous.
04:37Any time he makes a big batch of sauce,
04:39it's dropped off on the neighbour's doorstep.
04:41Some gnocchi across the street.
04:43He's just got lots of love to give.
04:45He deserves to be here.
04:46Oh, my God.
04:48Antonio, we love you.
04:50We have five cases now.
04:53Twelve.
04:54Best of luck, Antonio.
04:55I think I have 50 cents for your sake.
04:58Thank you, Amanda.
05:00One thousand.
05:02I like that.
05:03Your next number.
05:06Ten.
05:06I think I've got the $100.
05:08Thanks, Alicia.
05:09$50,000, Antonio.
05:13$100,000 is still there.
05:14Yeah, it is still there, but we've only opened three cases.
05:17Two of them are green.
05:18So tell me about 19, Antonio.
05:21I feel it's a good number.
05:24It's before the 20.
05:26It's definitely that.
05:29Yep, yep.
05:32Ah, it's before the 20.
05:35And particularly what I love about it is that it's two after 17 as well.
05:40It's powerful.
05:41I know.
05:41Powerful.
05:42Where to now, Antonio?
05:44Oh.
05:46Four.
05:47Hopefully, for your sake, I think I have the 500.
05:51Best of luck.
05:53Yay!
05:55There we go.
05:57We're back in sync now.
05:58Does Antonio talk much about his early childhood days?
06:02My nonno grew up in an orphanage in a small town in Italy during the Second World War.
06:08So he's never known any of his parents.
06:10And he's worked in a kitchen since he was eight or nine years old.
06:15He's always told me that there's nothing better than learning how to cook because you'll never go hungry.
06:19So that's why he became a chef and he's the best guy.
06:24Is that true?
06:24You have to eat, no money.
06:26So I choose a restaurant, watch the dishes.
06:31That time, no dishwasher.
06:33Dishwasher ain't.
06:36These were the dishwashers.
06:38How much money would you make back then?
06:40$1.20 a month.
06:43A month?
06:46Wow.
06:47Well, you've had an incredible life.
06:49It's an incredible story.
06:50The fact that you're still going in the kitchen shows how much passion you have for your food still to this day.
06:56Yeah.
06:56I feel like we need to reward you with some big winnings right now.
06:59I agree.
06:59We've got more than $1.20 here.
07:01We've got $100,000 here, Antonio.
07:04Give me two cases.
07:0714.
07:07Good luck.
07:08I think I've got $20,000.
07:10More.
07:10More.
07:11Thank you, Carmel.
07:12Yes.
07:13One more, Antonio.
07:15Last case of the round.
07:19Eight.
07:19Good luck.
07:21I think I've got $0.50.
07:22Okay, let's have a look.
07:24Yes.
07:25Okay.
07:26Here we go.
07:27Good finish for that round, okay?
07:29Yep.
07:29Now, unfortunately, our banker, he loves it when we lose greens because he wants to get you out of here with about $1.20.
07:37He's a cheapskate.
07:38But here's our first offer from the bank anyway.
07:41Okay.
07:41He's a lobster guy, our banker.
07:46$3,190 is our opening offer.
07:49That's low, but we did open two greens.
07:53How do you feel about $3,000?
07:55Blah.
07:56Blah.
07:57Blah.
08:00Antonio, I want to make us a massive payday because you're a glorious man.
08:04We'll do it when we come back.
08:06Welcome back to Deal or No Deal.
08:15Antonio Liberatore and his granddaughter, Je T'aime, have had their opening joust with the banker.
08:21You've just met the banker.
08:22He offered you, what, about $3,000 or just over just a couple of minutes ago.
08:26What do you think of the banker now that you've met him?
08:28$20.
08:29What?
08:32Okay.
08:32He knows what he wants.
08:33Oh, you love him that much, do you, the banker?
08:36But we're moving on.
08:37I don't even want to talk about him, Grant.
08:40Come on.
08:40I thought I had a great opening round and he only offered me $3,000.
08:44We'll carry on there, Antonio.
08:46$20 is where we go.
08:49Jennifer, you're up.
08:50What do you think you've got in case 20?
08:52Let's go $500.
08:54$500 of this.
08:55Lovely.
08:57Oh.
08:59This is good.
09:00It was, I know you didn't like the first offer, but it kind of was our fault because
09:07we did accidentally eliminate two large amounts in that first round.
09:10Let's just not do that again and we'll be fine and the banker give us a nice juicy offer.
09:14Great tip.
09:16Fair two.
09:18Number three.
09:20Good luck.
09:21I think I have the $10,000.
09:24Thank you, Brooke.
09:25Yeah!
09:28You paid $1.20 a month when you started out as a chef.
09:34What would you spend it on then?
09:35If we could win, say, $100,000 or something like that, what would you like to do with the
09:40money?
09:40I would be in the charity, the institute that would have an apotrophia to rebuild up.
09:54You should tell me these are two causes that are important to him.
09:56Yeah.
09:56The two orphanages that my nonno grew up in, in Italy, collapsed in the 2009 earthquakes.
10:03And so he visits every year and does what he can to contribute to rebuilding and rehabilitating
10:09them.
10:10So he's going in May.
10:11So we'd be really, really grateful to help my nonno with something that's still, you know,
10:17really, he really cares.
10:22Incredibly selfless.
10:23Let's get some more cases now, Antonio.
10:25We've got three to go before your next bank offer.
10:2921.
10:30Hey, Luke.
10:30G'day.
10:31Hey, Antonio.
10:31I think I've got five grand.
10:34Let's do it.
10:37Look at his little face.
10:39He's so happy.
10:40He's looking good.
10:41Nice face, Antonio.
10:42This is working out good so far.
10:4513 is an unlucky number, but I call it 13.
10:50Good luck, but I think I've got 100,000.
10:53Oh.
10:54Jesus.
10:575,000.
10:58Thankfully, it was not 100,000.
11:00She scared me, Antonio.
11:02I saw the show.
11:04Beautiful girl was here at the bank of, because, yeah, of $50,000.
11:10Mm-hmm.
11:10And she said, no deal.
11:12She did.
11:13And then I saw you.
11:14Oh, my God.
11:15I know.
11:16She won $100,000.
11:17I know.
11:18I was there.
11:19Yes.
11:19You tell me, he clearly loves the show and watches religiously.
11:23Oh, absolutely.
11:24We introduced him to Ten Play not long ago, and he realised he could watch every episode
11:29of Deal or No Deal.
11:30So now he's figured out how to fall asleep watching that every single night.
11:33He's blaring from his room.
11:35Last night, I'm in my room, and I just hear, no, no deal.
11:39Come on.
11:41He's well practised.
11:43He's ready for this.
11:44You needed to have a good round.
11:46We so far have.
11:47Let's get one more case and show the banker his boss.
11:4915.
11:50I'm going to go $2,500.
11:53Yes!
11:54Antonio, this is magnificent.
11:56Beautiful stuff.
11:57We're in a tug of war with the banker, and we got him a little bit on his back foot.
12:02Banker, new offer, please.
12:05What's it going to be, Nana?
12:08$10,000.
12:09Whoa.
12:10It's doubled.
12:11$6,380, Antonio.
12:15That's a lot of money, though.
12:17What are we thinking now?
12:18No deal.
12:20No deal.
12:24Will the endless hours of consuming Deal or No Deal on 10 Play pay off?
12:29Come back and find out if you win $100,000 to move the term.
12:36Welcome back to Deal or No Deal.
12:38This guy, Antonio Libertore and his granddaughter, Je T'aime.
12:43Oh, my goodness.
12:43He watches countless episodes now that he's found 10 Play.
12:47You can watch it round the clock, just back to back.
12:49He's just binging EPS, deal or no deal.
12:51And it's paying off.
12:52That last round was magnificent, Antonio.
12:55Look at all the blues that you eliminated.
12:57You've got three spectacular greens still sitting there, including the $100,000.
13:03How does that make you feel?
13:05Ooh.
13:06Ooh.
13:06Ooh.
13:07Hey.
13:09Give me a case.
13:09What number next?
13:12Nine.
13:12Good luck, Antonio.
13:13I think I've got $75.
13:16Okay, Justine.
13:17Ooh.
13:18Oh.
13:19$100.
13:20Oh, I'm so sorry.
13:22There it goes.
13:23Oh, I'm sorry, Antonio.
13:25What are you thinking?
13:26Je T'aime, I understand that your grandfather...
13:28Eight.
13:29Okay.
13:29Yep.
13:33He's not here for the chat.
13:36Not here for the company.
13:37He's, uh, here for the money only.
13:41Uh, Je T'aime, I understand, uh, your grandfather has a famous friend.
13:46He does, yeah.
13:47My, um, my uncle, so my nonno's son, was really good friends with a boy called Curtis Stone in
13:54high school.
13:54And, um, he used to come over after school and have bowls and bowls of pasta.
14:00And apparently my uncle ran into him a couple years ago and he said that his cooking, like,
14:04really inspired him to start on his chef journey.
14:08So...
14:08Woo-hoo!
14:09You made Curtis Stone fall in love with cooking and food.
14:13Yeah.
14:13Uh, he was come all the time in my place.
14:17Very good boy.
14:18Long face, smiling, blue eyes, fair hair, all the time.
14:25Curtis, yes, I told you.
14:27Sure you are no related royal family?
14:31And Tony, we all understand he's tall and gorgeous.
14:38No, not this guppy over here.
14:42Well, he's rich and famous now.
14:44Just because you inspired him, let's make you rich and famous, shall we?
14:47That's right.
14:49Let's guess.
14:52Sixteen.
14:53I think I've got the 50 cents.
14:56Zach, let's see if you're right.
15:00Oh!
15:02Oh, yeah.
15:03Antonio, don't clap your hands.
15:05I know.
15:06That's $40,000 we've just now accidentally eliminated.
15:09But we all hang on to that $30,000 now, okay?
15:12Just one more case.
15:15Six.
15:16Hi, Grant.
15:17Ciao, Antonio.
15:18I think I've got $10,000.
15:19Let's have a look.
15:23The highest of the Reds, Antonio, that was $20,000.
15:27That was a devastating round.
15:29I think this is where the banker might capitalise.
15:31It's come down nearly $4,000.
15:38The $2,850's on the table.
15:43Should we maybe take this money while it's there, or would you like to play on and win some more, maybe?
15:49No deal.
15:50After being in the kitchen for 73 years, you do not give up easily, do you, Antonio?
15:59Oh, no.
16:01Two good cases here.
16:02We could have a very good outcome.
16:04Let's get some.
16:05Eleven.
16:08Good luck, Antonio.
16:10And for the orphanage, I hope I have to.
16:11Small, small.
16:13$50,000.
16:15Oh, Jenny, $30,000, the last green falls.
16:18Mamma mia.
16:19Mamma mia.
16:20Oh, I'm so sorry.
16:21What a disaster.
16:24I'm so sorry, Antonio.
16:25Oh, no, no.
16:26Oh, dearie me.
16:28Okay.
16:29Still one more.
16:30One more case.
16:31One more choice.
16:32Number two.
16:34Hi, Antonio.
16:34I think I have $75.
16:36Thank you, Lauren.
16:37Let's have a look.
16:38Oh, please.
16:38$75.
16:39You get it.
16:40You get it correct, yes.
16:42$10.50 is yours.
16:44That's a good feeling.
16:45We're happy.
16:45We're happy with that.
16:46Yeah, if you were in the kitchen with our banker, you'd pretty much like to hit him over the
16:50head with a chopping board when he comes in with something like this.
16:55Hey, no, no.
16:56What's it going to be?
16:58Ooh.
16:59We are down $700.
17:01$2,120.
17:03That's what's on the table.
17:07This is up to you, Nana.
17:09This is up to you.
17:11I think you should play to win.
17:13No.
17:14I think so.
17:15Would you like this money or would you like to come back and see if we can maybe find out
17:19if there's $10,000 in Case 19?
17:22No deal.
17:23There he is, Antonio.
17:25The fight ain't over.
17:26I'd love to see you walk out here with $10,000 a week coming back.
17:29He's a beautiful man.
17:38Welcome back to Deal or No Deal.
17:39Antonio Lippertore and his granddaughters.
17:42You watch this show all the time.
17:45All the time.
17:46How have you found it so far?
17:48Beautiful.
17:49Great people.
17:51Happy people.
17:52All right.
17:56$10,000.
17:57Let's see if we can get you that.
17:59$22.
18:00Hi, Grant.
18:00Hi, Antonio.
18:01Good luck.
18:02I think.
18:03Ooh.
18:03$500.
18:05$500.
18:05Hey, Russell.
18:08Yeah!
18:09$750.
18:10What is that?
18:10$0.50.
18:11Be nice to get rid of that.
18:13$0.80.
18:14Hey, Grant.
18:15Hey, Antonio.
18:15Good luck.
18:16I do think I have $2,500.
18:18Small.
18:20What's the smallest of the reds?
18:21Yay!
18:22That's $0.50.
18:23Wow.
18:24You now have a one in four chance of having $10,000 in case 19.
18:30Banker.
18:30New offer, please.
18:35You won't need to consider.
18:37$3,590 this time.
18:39It's coming up just that little bit.
18:40There's two amounts above it and two below it.
18:45Ooh.
18:46What do you think?
18:48You don't think so?
18:49How do you?
18:51On now for the big bucks.
18:53He's fearless, Antonio.
18:55Just one case at a time now.
18:58Where's that last blue, that $500?
18:59Stay with.
19:00Hi, Antonio.
19:01I do think I have the last blue, the $500.
19:06Oh, $7,500, but it's not the top amount.
19:08We do have a one in three chance of winning $10,000, Antonio.
19:13But you're going to have to think about this first.
19:15New offer, please, Banker.
19:20All right.
19:20Now, Noel, we might have to think about this.
19:22Hey.
19:24It's gone down $500.
19:26$3,001.
19:29$20.
19:32I'm worried if we say no deal,
19:35we accidentally eliminate the $10,000
19:38and then you might only have $500
19:40or two and a half grand.
19:42Is it worth the risk?
19:43Deal.
19:43Okay.
19:44Deal.
19:47One more case.
19:51What?
19:52Good luck, Antonio.
19:52Loving all the stories.
19:53I think I've got the last blue in this corner, $500.
19:56This would be amazing if it's true.
19:57Come on.
19:58Yeah.
19:59Antonio, you did it.
20:01Great job.
20:02You're going to correct this too.
20:05$350 is yours.
20:06Here comes your very last offer from the bank.
20:11I think we might like this Banker a bit more than we did before.
20:14$5,999.
20:21This could make a nice difference for the charity,
20:23do you think, Antonio?
20:25It will be.
20:26How long is it?
20:27That would help.
20:28A little bit of money towards helping that orphanage rebuild
20:32after the earthquake in 2009.
20:34Deal.
20:35Deal.
20:35Deal.
20:36Deal.
20:39$5,999, Antonio.
20:41It was an absolute pleasure.
20:43That's him.
20:44Beautiful.
20:46Oh, my God.
20:47That's nice.
20:48We had a great time.
20:49We've earned some money.
20:51How would you feel if there is $10,000 in?
20:54Bloody luck.
20:55And Rico, what do you think is the last one up there?
20:58I'm going to say I've got $2,500 in there.
21:01All right.
21:01No worries.
21:02We'll go around to your case now, Antonio.
21:03It's been an absolute pleasure having you on this show.
21:06You're full of spirit, full of fun.
21:09You're cheeky.
21:10You've worked hard.
21:1173 years in the kitchen.
21:13Yeah.
21:13Are you ready?
21:14You count the three for me.
21:15One, two, three.
21:18Oh!
21:19It was in there!
21:21I'm so sorry.
21:23And Rico, $2,500 was over there.
21:27Correct guess for you.
21:28$250.
21:29A little bit of money for the orphanage.
21:30It's a pleasure to play with you.
21:32Thank you so much, your 10th.
21:33I hope you had a wonderful time.
21:35The 10th round, 30th, your 10th.
21:38A great man.
21:39Loves the show.
21:40Watches it religiously.
21:41Is now on it.
21:42Walked away with $6,000.
21:43I'm Grant Daniel.
21:44We'll see you next time on The Deal.
