The game master also reveals the moment the switch flipped as a host. Which is what makes the actual meeting so disarming when the star struts into the Temple and turns out to be so… normal.

But even with all that pressure, the players have found an unlikely ally in the game master standing by their side. He loves cracking jokes. He's witty, he's funny, and he has a really kind heart. Like the rest of the cast, Lete was shocked at how down to earth and approachable Manganiello was throughout filming on season 2, which premieres Jan.

I'm constantly trying to break the stereotype of what people think about me based off the way I look, and I feel like he's doing the same. However — not unlike on Deal or No Deal Island itself — big risks often pay off, and the thespian has shined in his new role, winning over new fans in the process. The game master has leaned on his dramatic background to display gravitas when necessary, but has also paired it with a natural sense of geeked-out fun that is simply impossible to resist.
