A father and grandfather from Taylors Lakes is set to make a TV appearance in an upcoming episode of Deal or No Deal.
Robert Clark, affectionately known as Clarky by his friends, said if he wins the top prize he’ll spend the money on his family.
“Winning big money would help pay for one daughter’s wedding and another’s engagement party,” he said.
“Anything left over would go to a family holiday.”
Robert was persuaded to audition for the show by his wife, Maureen, while they were watching an episode at home.
“My wife said to me, ‘Rob, you should audition for Deal or No Deal but you’ve got to be creative,’” he said.
To stand out in the audition process, Rob decided to channel his looks into the Monopoly man.
“I disappeared for five minutes and put a hat and bowtie on and asked her, ‘is this creative enough?’” he said.
Rob said his favourite part about filming the audition was the bloopers that came along with failed attempts.
“My wife was videoing and all of a sudden you stuff it up…you start laughing yourself. I did [the audition] about five times. I kept those [bloopers] to show friends,” he said.
For those considering auditioning for the show, Rob offers this advice.
“I think you gotta show your personality, that’s pretty important,” he said.
“It was a great experience…I’d recommend anyone to give it a crack.”
Rob’s episode will air on Wednesday, July 23 at 7pm on Network Ten.
