Wow...the world sure has changed since I use to watch the Newlywed show.

TV's `Newlywed Game' features first gay couple

NEW YORK – "The Newlywed Game" is bringing on its first gay couple.

It's a celebrity duo for the long-running game show, now on the GSN cable network. George Takei, who played Mr. Sulu on "Star Trek," will appear with his partner, Brad Altman. They just celebrated their first anniversary after being married in Los Angeles.

Takei and Altman have been together for 22 years, so they're nothing like the giggly young couples who appeared on the first version of the show.

The new edition of "The Newlywed Game" began airing on GSN a year ago and has been a ratings success. Singer Carnie Wilson has replaced Bob Eubanks as host.

No one can replace the greatness that is Eubanks! Except maybe Gene Rayburn or Wink Martindale!

They seriously need to find some cheesy comdian or lounge artist for a host. It's completely obvious that's the winning combo. Look at the success of Howie Mandel's game show. You need nice and cheesy.

Actually George Takei would be better than Carnie Wilson.

"What homemade cookie would your partner want to eat right after you make 'woopie' ? "

Have you ever seen "Next" on MTV? They can have relationships of all kind.
