tugmoose Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Bush appears on 'Deal' to thank a contestant (and war vet)Fri Apr 18, 8:02 PM ET NEW YORK - A presidential thank-you is part of the deal for a contestant on NBC's game show, "Deal or No Deal," when President Bush makes a surprise appearance. The episode, airing Monday, features Capt. Joseph Kobes, as he attempts to win enough cash to pay off his parents' home. But the dealmaking is briefly halted for Kobes, a Purple Heart and Bronze Star recipient who has served in Iraq three times. Bush surprises him by appearing on a screen to express gratitude for his service and wish him luck in the game. Bush's message was taped at the White House. The game of odds, hosted by Howie Mandel, calls for a contestant to predict the amount of cash contained in any of 26 sealed briefcases. The top prize for guessing correctly is $1 million. No details were released on how Kobes, an Army transportation officer from Sumner, Wash., fared in his quest for the jackpot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
