Oops! It looks like I spoke too soon about the situation with Pyramid. I just checked my inbox and found the an email (below) from their contestant co-ordinator.
Note the info re "Deal or No Deal": the audtions are still open and are going until Feb 20, for those that are in the LA area and want to try out. Good luck to those that decide to go for it!
