A very casual Noel introduces the show today, in his short-sleeved shirt. He tells us that he might reveal more about the 500th show tomorrow. Brian still has his wig on from yesterday, which has Noel in fits of laughter.
It’s Manuel’s turn to take the walk of wealth today, and he does so with box 14. Manuel pronounces and explains his surname to Noel. Manuel has his wife in the audience for support and they have a slight disagreement over how long they have been married!! She thinks 28 and he thinks 29! She tells us that Manuel is an optimist, and believes things will always work out well in the end... Manuel wants some Ole's from the audience throughout his game
