NBC game show "Deal or No Deal" has had its fair share of special guests, but none have been quite as special as an appearance by the commander-In-chief, George W Bush.
A video message has been taped by the current US president for Purple Heart winning contestant Capt. Joseph Kobes, a U.S Army transportation officer who served three tours of duty in Iraq.
"The show's producers contacted the White House after learning from Capt. Kobes that the president is one of his heroes," White House spokesman Tony Fratto said.
"And it really is, actually, an emotional moment for Capt. Kobes and the family. And so we look forward to that, and we all wish him luck as well."
Continuing the theme of surprise visits by heroes of contestants, Bush shot the message at the White House for an episode that taped in March.
The message shows Bush thanking Kobes for his service, and wishing him good luck in winning the $1 million prize.
Bush then jokingly asked "Deal" host Howie Mandel how he would feel hosting a $3 Trillion dollar reality, referencing the difficulty of balancing the budget as president.
