It should come as a surprise to absolutely no one that, in the current world of reboot mania, “Deal or No Deal” is returning.

Yes, the show that for one brief, shining moment taped at Sonalysts Studios in Waterford is being revived. It is, alas, being filmed at Universal Orlando Resort.

The show, which will air starting in December on CNBC, still features that host of hosts, Howie Mandel.

We might not get Mandel filming “Deal” here, but we will get him doing his standup Friday at Foxwoods, and Mandel is pretty great in the latter format.

Howie Mandel, 8 p.m. Friday, Foxwoods’ Fox Theater; $52, $78; 1-800-200-2882.
