Gays Can Now Apply for The Newlywed Game!

The Game Show Network's The Newlywed Game hosted by Carnie Wilson has announced that they are now open to same-sex couples who have a legal marriage license in at least one state. The game pits couples against each other to test their knowledge about their spouse on TV.

If this sounds like you or someone you know, please contact the Casting Team IMMEDIATELY at: 
TheNewlywedGame@embassyrow.com


PLEASE INCLUDE: Names/Ages, City/State, Phone Number (with area code), Email Address, Wedding Date, and PHOTO.

All participants must be 18 years of age or older and married 2 years or less.

This is a fun opportunity for gay couples to make some money, and to get some media coverage on committed same-sex couples.

Same-Sex Couples Barred From The Newlywed Game

"As you may or may not know, the Game Show Network is relaunching "The Newlywed Game." And as you also may or may not know, same-sex couples are currently marrying in two of our nation's states, as well as obtaining civil unions in four more. So that of course means that newly-wedded gay and lesbian couples will be totally eligible for the revised version of the 70's era game show classic, right?

Well, not so fast, queer fans of televised compatibility tests. For if the "Newlywed Game" rules and requirements that were sent to us by a reader are to be believed, it seems that our unions might not make the cut:"



Contact the Game Show Network and tell them same-sex couples should be allowed to be contestants on the show! http://www.gsn.com/help/contact.php
