After nearly three years, the wait is almost over. According to Howie Mandel, Deal or No Deal will have its first millionaire very soon.

The surprise announcement was made during Thursday night’s finale of Last Comic Standing. (You can see that clip after the jump.) Since the date of the milestone wasn’t revealed, it’s not known how many suitcases aided the winner in their mission. In the program’s ‘Million Dollar Mission’ - which will be implemented again next season - an additional case worth $1 million will be added to the mix after each failed attempt.

Find out which overly-excited contestant finally wins when Deal or No Deal returns on Monday, August 25.
