Cynthia Littleton Business Editor That was the week that was, and last week was an upfronts week like no other. Variety’s team of New York-based television and digital reporters offer a debrief on the 2023 programming presentations in New York on the latest episode of Variety weekly podcast “Strictly Business.” The drama roiling the industry was evident in all the Writers Guild of America picket signs that swarmed around the major events held from May 15 to May 17.

‘Deal or No Deal’ Boss Defends Game Show After Meghan Markle Claimed It ‘Objectifies’ Women

K.J. Yossman One of the bosses behind long-running game show “Deal or No Deal” defended the format after Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex accused the show of “objectifying women.” Markle spent a year working on the NBC version of the show, hosted by Howie Mandel, as a briefcase model between 2006 and 2007. The role involved opening a briefcase to reveal to the contestant how much money it contained — usually while wearing high heels and a skimpy dress. Last year, on an episode of her Archetypes podcast titled “Breaking Down the Bimbo,” Markle said she ended up quitting the show after feeling “objectified.” “I was so much more than what was being objectified on the stage,” she said. “I didn’t like feeling forced to be all looks and little substance.”
