Now hes the host of deal or no deal island on nbc and peacock. Joe manganiello is back on the show, you guys. [ cheers and applause ] he is politicos White House Bureau chief, a bestselling author, and the host of way too early with Jonathan Lemire on msnbc. Our friend Jonathan Lemire is also joining us. [ cheers and applause ] she is a very funny comedian who will be performing at the netflix is a joke festival in los angeles. She also hosts the zarna garg family podcast. Zarna garg is fantastic, and shes going to be here with us tonight. [ cheers and applause ] check out family trips this week. We talk to bowen yang. Its a fantastic listen. Hes a wonderful guy and very excited to have had him on the pod. You guys, moving on, if i may, there is something that has, well, theres no easy way to say it, has been bothering me. Something i need to get off my chest. I was attending a function this past weekend, and i wasnt sure what to wear. It was one of those days where the temperature would flip from 40 degrees to 60 degrees over the course of an afternoon. 60 is, of course, too warm for a coat. 40 is too cold to go without. In my panic, i ended up grabbing a fleeced vest from the back of my closet, tossed it on, and headed out. And i just have to say this. Vests are a [ bleep ] joke [ laughter ] at this point in the broadcast, seth launched into a 60second obscenityladen rant about vests and how, in his opinion, they dont actually do anything at all. Network policy prevents us from broadcasting his comments, but due to a technical issue, we were forced to air this portion of the show. In short, seth believes that vests look stupid, dont regulate body temperature, and the only thing theyre good for is identifying tech bros trying to sell you worthless cryptocurrency. He said that all a vest does is warm your torso, and when youve got a hot as [ bleep ] torso like mine, heat is the last thing you need. At this point, seth put one hand on his hip while wagging his other hands index finger in the air while saying, and dont even get me started on sweater vests. This prompted seths security guard, jim, to say, i was actually kind of hoping you would get started. [ laughter ] really . Said seth. Yes, really, said jim. I was excited to hear your fresh take. This made seth beam. Many people would later note they had never seen seth look as happy as he did in that moment. Jim, you have no idea how glad i am that you want to know my thoughts on sweater vests. You see, what most people fail to understand about knitwear patterns, especially argyle, is at this point, seths voice was drowned out by a loud guffaw. The guffaw came from jim. [ light laughter ] oh, god, he actually believed me, wheezed jim betwixt additional guffaws. Of course i dont want to hear about sweater vests, you [ bleep ] dork. [ laughter ] seth did not beam now. In fact, the look on his face was whatever the opposite of beaming is. He then pulled out a handwritten list titled people i can still trust and crossed out the name jim. [ light laughter ] it was the only name on the list that wasnt already crossed out. Seth then collected himself. He called out to his stage manager. Hey, tom, he said, can you test out a new design im working on . One step ahead of you, said tom, as he ripped the torso off of his shirt, leaving only the sleeves. [ laughter ] seth took a good look at tom and made him spin around. He couldnt help noticing his fit physique and said, tom, youre in great shape for a 65yearold man. To which tom replied, im 22. [ laughter ] to which seth replied, oh. You should probably see a doctor. Seth then pontificated about how there were many sartorial options better suited for unpredictable weather than the vest. One such being the cape. Capes are great, said seth. In fact, i have my own line of capes debuting this summer in the nbc store. He then pulled out a cape from under his desk and put it on. Then in what resembled an mlmstyle sales pitch, he modeled the cape while outlining its many features, including wind resistance, gortex underlining, sex appeal, and a signature brand logo on the back. [ light laughter ] at this point, seths cue card guy, wally, called out, i cant believe you stole my idea. Wally was also wearing a cape. You snooze, you lose, bucko, said seth. Well see who snoozes and who loses, said wally, as he proceeded to give his own sales pitch, which ended with him saying, if you buy one of wonder wallys crazy capes in the next 15 minutes, your order comes with a free wind machine. Who would want that . Said seth. You tell me, replied wally. At this point, a wind machine turned on. [ laughter ] and for a few glorious seconds, wally looked like as though he was flying through the air like some beautiful half man half god. [ laughter and applause ] before the end of the night, every member of the audience had purchased one of wonder wallys crazy capes. Before the end of the week, wally was a millionaire. Before the end of the month, wally was dead broke, having given all of his money to a vestclad crypto bro to invest in something called turdcoin. Seth then went off on people who wear puffy vests, saying, who do you think you are, marty mcfly . Just then, there was a bright bolt of lightning in the studio, and someone in a puffy vest appeared from a cloud of smoke. Seth, we got to go back. Marty mcfly . Said seth. Thats me. I just came from january 2025. Oh, no, replied seth. Is trump president again . No, Mark Wahlberg is. And its all because of a joke you told about him in your monologue tonight. You got to go back and not tell that joke. I didnt tell a joke about Mark Wahlberg in my monologue, said seth. This seemed to take marty mcfly by surprise. You didnt . No. Did you even watch my monologue . Marty mcfly looked a bit sheepish and said, im really more of a kimmel guy. [ light laughter ] kimmels on an hour before me. You can watch both, said seth. Yeah. Right. Maybe i will sometime, said marty. Anyways, good chat. I got to go. Marty then hopped on a citi bike and started to ride away. Wait a minute, said seth. Wheres the delorean . Your show doesnt have the budget for a delorean. This isnt jimmy kimmel live. he then pedaled away as fast as his legs could take him, back to the future. Nbc would like to ask viewers to disregard seths opinions about vests as they do not reflect the Networks Position and do not make any sense. We now resume our broadcast. Seth you know what i have to say about that . Sleeve em alone whoo that felt good to get off my chest. [ cheers and applause ] well be right back with joe manganiello.

[ cheers and applause ] seth to have you with us, queen. You know our first guest from shows such as true blood and movies like archenemy, Zack Snyders Justice league, and the magic mike franchise. He hosts deal or no deal island, which airs mondays on mn nb jesus. On nbc . Is that what were called . [ laughter ] is it now . Are they going with nbc . Thats what it is . [ laughter ] all right. I dont know if its going to stick. [ laughter ] its available the next day on peacock. Lets take a look. There are two different locations within the maze containing cases. Lowvalue cases in one area, highvalue cases in another. Everyone has an important decision to make in terms of which case to go after. The highvalue cases are the hardest to reach, which means oh, god. Going for one of those puts you at greater risk of finishing last. Last. [ sighs ] there are no more second chances. The last guest to emerge from the maze will be eliminated immediately. Wow. Oh, geez. Seth please welcome back to the show joe manganiello, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] [ cheers and applause ] seth oh, my god. Look so sharp whew, thank you. Peyman umay makes these great suits for me. Seth i feel like youre taking advantage of being off the island now. You can wear your proper suits. Im not sweating through everything. I dont have to have four of everything. Seth yeah. So, this is deal or no deal. Were all familiar with that show. Yep. Seth howie mandel hosted. But now this is on an island. Mmhmm. Seth and it seems to have sort of the elements of a survivortype show to it. Thats right, yeah. Actually, the entire crew from australian survivor came up and were our crew. But the show is also run by a man named matt kunitz, who created fear factor. Seth okay. And then our story team is the allstar story team that did, like, 20 years of big brother. Seth so its a lot of the best of game shows and reality shows all put together on one island. All put together into one, with a bit of a like a, you know, depraved billionaire owns this island, invites 13 guests to his island in order to find his equal. Seth yeah. It is a real reminder, you know, when a billionaire invites you to an island, just think twice. Its [ laughter ] its topical. Seth its topical right now. Its very topical. But theres seth so, there are cases hidden all over the island. Thats right. 200 million is hidden in briefcases all over the island. Seth see, you got to remember where you hide em. [ laughter ] me, for sure. Seth nbc, which is what theyre now calling themselves theyre [ laughter ] if you come back and youre like, we lost some of the cases, thats going to be a bad scene. Joe, get back out there. Seth get back out there, yeah. Go find that case, yeah. Seth and theres some familiar faces for people who like this kind of show. For people who like this kind of show, myself included i was a survivor junkie. And when i got to the island, they said, oh, you know, boston robs flying in this morning. I said, whats he doing here . Seth yeah. They said, no, hes one of the guests. Im like, get out of here you know. But of course i had to hide that because its up to the players to reveal that or rob to reveal that or not. Like i dont interfere. Seth so, youre just doing so much hiding. All kinds of hiding. Seth youre hiding cases. Youre hiding guests. Its just so a million seth much hiding. Yeah, and then claudia jordan, who people know from real housewives, and also she was one of the original briefcase girls seth oh, really . In the original deal or no deal. Seth get out of town. So, shes seen shes had the Million Dollar case a few times. Shes seen so many deals go down. So, the two of them being there put targets on their back immediately. Seth gotcha. So did you was this something that you ever thought you would do, host a show like this . I had been offered hosting jobs before. But, you know, i come from that generation where it was tv or film. Seth sure. And then hbo happened, and it was like, okay, you can do tv. Seth yeah, yeah, yeah. You know . And then it was like you can only do commercials if theyre in japan. And then it was like, no, no, no. Now everybodys doing commercials in america. Seth yeah, yeah, yeah. And now, you know, for me, i mean i watched survivor like a junkie. Like when i was on set or in some foreign country, its always me and the dog, brushing my teeth, watching survivor episodes, you know . Seth yeah. And so, when they called me and explained the job to me, it was basically like, do you want to be the next jeff probst . And i was like, of course i do. Are you kidding . You dont know who youre talking to. Seth thats fantastic. So, i was really excited to do this specifically. Seth obviously, we can tell from the clip, it is, you know, its a beautiful island. But its stressful for contestants on a show like this. Everybody wants to win. Moneys at stake. Do you actually get to enjoy the island at all because youre not a contestant . Or because youre sort of so involved with the production of the show, its just a fulltime job . Im very, very involved with the production. I work sixday weeks when im there. And on the seventh day, im usually like training, catching up, meeting with the story team, who hates who, getting all the tea. You know, whos teaming up with who. And you know seth do you feel like you know, if you continue to do this show, do you think you could clock faster who hates who . Like when you saw them, do you feel like now youd be like, oh, yeah, youre going to ill tell you what, though, there was so many surprises. Especially in the beginning. And not to give this away for anyone who hasnt binge watched it yet on peacock. But like there was a distinct villain over the first four episodes, and i could not believe who it was. I said, what do you mean . That sweet person is the villain . And they said, you have no idea whats going on in camp. [ light laughter ] so, no matter what you think, youre going to be shocked at kind of the seth id be so bad at these because im just going to say it. I would be like, i did come here to make friends. I feel like thats [ laughter ] that might be a good strategy, though. Seth that might be a good strategy. So, if you were going to do one of these reality shows as a competitor, do you think youd be any good at it . I mean, yeah. I think i could win for sure. Seth really . Yeah, i think i could win survivor. Well, you see, the trick about survivor is id be really good at getting everyone things to eat, catching the animals, catching the fish, climbing the trees. Seth uhhuh. Winning the challenges. As soon as everyone merges and its every person for themself, theyre going to go right after me. So, id have to win immunity every time. Seth gotcha. But i will say, i did stand there looking at our game thinking, i would switch places with any of you right now. Like i wanted i wanted to play. Seth oh, you wanted in . Oh, i wanted in. Seth excellent. Yeah, yeah. Seth do you feel that way like when you watch sports . Because you played you were an athlete growing up. You still i mean, you still think like, i want in there . To a degree. I mean it was interesting. I was at the airport recently, and this woman came over. The waitress came over and said, you know, youre a lot smaller than i thought. [ light laughter ] and i went, im 65, 250. How big did you what did you think . I was 68, 280 . I go, what . And she goes, i dont know. I guess the camera adds pounds. Seth yeah. And my girlfriend said, you know, hes bigger than most football players. And she said, well,
