NBC’s hit game show Deal or No Deal transforms itself for a special Star Wars themed “winner take all” episode on Monday, April 28 (8-10 pm ET) surprising two diehard fans of the popular movie franchise with the experience of a lifetime. Guest supporters cheering on the contestants include actress Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia), Chewbacca and R2-D2, and in a surprise twist, Darth Vader fills in as the villainous Banker.
I don’t know who the “villainous Banker” is because I’ve never been able to watch more than .03 seconds of Deal or No Deal without Howie Mandel making me want to gouge my goddamn eyeballs out with a rusty pocket knife. IT’S THAT FUCKING SOUL PATCH. Even the promise that the show’s models will all be “dressed as Princess Leia in [her] classic slave outfit from Return of the Jedi” might not be enough to get me to watch this. I mean, sure, like 30 hot chicks in metal bikinis SOUNDS awesome, alright, but then… THAT FUCKING SOUL PATCH.
Anyway, more info here. Thanks to the Mercury’s resident Star Wars dweeb, Alison Hallett, for the heads up.
Do you think he's just as phobic about touching robots as he is about touching people?
Sounds like Kungfu has a little Flava-sava of his own...
Nope. Sorry dude, I'm more Miami Vice style, not out of fashion but laziness.
I suppose if he had a trying-too-hard-to-be ironic 70s moustache you'd be okay with it.
A decade ago, the soul patch was the 70s moustache.
Good luck with coming up with the next trend you can hate a decade from now.
