Deal or No Deal Island host Joe Manganiello reveals unseen rules violation

With season 2 of Deal or No Deal Island currently running on NBC, the host, Joe Manganiello, sits down to have a conversation with Entertainment Weekly, where he reveals an exclusive scene from episode 2, which affected how the episode wrapped up.

During the interview, when the host asks how he felt about Dr. Will's speech, the Deal or No Deal Island host reveals how he was trying hard not to laugh at Dr. Will and appreciates his grand entrance,

"I was doing my best to mask the Cheshire Grin that I felt rising up in my soul while Will was going off. It was a brilliant piece of theater, and I was enjoying my front row seat," he said. "He added another big shiny threat into the mix, which was very welcome from an entertainment perspective. After a 20-year hiatus, he made one hell of an entrance and it was clear to all in the game that Dr. Will was back!"

As the conversation continues, the interviewer asks how the Magic Mike star feels about C.K. and La Shell working together. This is when Deal or No Deal Island's Manganiello reveals how the two tried deciding based on a coin flip, which he had to stop as the rules state otherwise.

"In terms of C.K. and La Shell, this wasn’t on camera, but they attempted to flip a coin to decide who they should send home, but I had to stop them because the rules state that an unsanctioned object cannot be used to make decisions in the game. They were in perfect harmony in the Temple right up until that point."

The interview ended on a sarcastic note as the host joked about who wears the sunglasses better, him or Dickson. Manganiello points out how Dickson dropped the glasses in mud, and therefore, the real question should be who holds him better.
