Comparing her with Chrissy, Jacobs added:
Chrissy was awesome. She was fun. She's always been fun. Lots of laughing, lots of just mischievous [behaviour]. I don't think Chrissy would ever say bad things about Deal or No Deal. Like I said, it was a great job.More under this adMore under this ad
We had fun, it paid us well. I couldn't imagine Chrissy saying, 'I wish I was never on that show.' If she weren't on the show, she wouldn't have met John [Legend].More under this adMore under this ad
She would show up a little bit [to party with us]. Like she would at least come out with us, and then everybody would trickle home. Chrissy was cool. She's hilarious. She likes to eat. She likes to cook. She stands up for herself. She's confident, she's all these things.

[Meghan] would be back there with scripts getting ready for an audition. So it was paid time for her to study her scripts. Like it was a perfect setup.More under this adMore under this ad
She was always very driven and wanted to ‘book something better and bigger.’ She eventually went on to the biggest thing of her acting career as Rachel Zane in the hit legal drama Suits.
