Star Trek’s George Takei and husband Brad Altman are the first gay couple to ever appear on The Newlywed Game in the history of the show.
Joining the first same-sex couple ever include Christopher Knight (The Brady Bunch) & Adrianne Curry (America’s Next Top Model) and Damien Gurganius & Nicole Brewer (The Biggest Loser: Couples 2).
The episode airs on Tuesday, October 13th at 6:00 pm (ET) on GSN. The new season of the game show premieres on Monday, October 12th and is hosted by Carnie Wilson.
George and Brad celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary last month. They were married on September 15, 2008.
Actor George Takei will publicly celebrate his union to husband Brad Altman with a history-making TV moment, as the first gay couple to appear on hit show The Newlywed Game.
The couple has been together for more than two decades and is set to appear in a special celebrity episode of the game show, which pits newlyweds against each other with a series of intimate questions.
Former Star Trek star Takei was finally able to marry Altman last September, two months before a decision by the California Supreme Court briefly legalising gay marriage in the state was overruled.
The couple's marriage remains legal, and they are eager to display their deep connection to the public when the show airs next month.
Altman tells the New York Daily News, "George and I are thrilled. It's pretty historic for us. It's going to be a great experience for both of us to see how well we really know each other after 22 years together."
Comedian Kathy Griffin sat down with Jimmy Kimmel last night on his late night show and told him about a new ‘movie’ project that she has completed. Entitled Kate is Enough, it is a parody of the mother of eight Kate Gosselin. Griffin enlisted the help of actor George Takei to play the role of Jon Gosselin and child actors to play the children.
The spoof is a takeoff of the TLC reality show Jon & Kate Plus 8. Kathy sports a Kate wig and her character catches Jon red handed with a girlfriend.
View the Kimmel video below, which includes the Kate is Enough footage at the 3:20 mark on the video slider.
Ellen DeGeneres and George Takei's 2008 same sex marriages will stand, despite a new ruling to uphold the ban on gay weddings in California.
The California Supreme Court has opted not to overturn the ban which came into effect late last year, six months after gay marriages were declared legal thanks to a May decision.
During the legal window on same sex marriages, DeGeneres wed girlfriend Portia De Rossi and Star Trek actor Takei exchanged vows with longtime partner Brad Altman.
At a ruling in court on Tuesday, officials declared those gay couples who wed between May and November last year will be considered married.
The people of California voted to overturn a ruling to allow gay marriage on November 4th.
Gay leaders in the state now plan to take their fight to federal court.
Responding to the latest development, DeGeneres, who wed De Rossi in August, says, "One day, when everyone is treated with full equality, we’ll look back and realize how wrong this was."
