michael jordan, brett favre, jay leno… these are just a few peeps who left their success for a taste of the retired life, but weren’t satisfied sitting on the sidelines. well, we can officially add another celeb to the list. king of comedy mr. jerry seinfeld!
jer is back and teaming up with nbc for a reality show entitled ‘the marriage ref,’ in which a panel of celebrities, comedians & athletes will judge marital disputes and recommend conflict resolutions. could be funny, could be a disaster. while jerry will stay behind the camera as producer for most of it, he will probably makes a few cameos.
jerry says that his adventures in bachelorhood inspired ‘seinfeld,’ and now after 10 years of wedded bliss feels he is ready to conquer the unpredictable institution of marriage. nbc touts the new show as “revealing. controversial. downright funny. ‘the marriage ref’ vows to look at relationships unlike anything you’ve ever seen on tv.”
real-life couples can audition to appear on the show, but be prepared! this is not therapy, this is comedy. the casting call stipulates “whether you argue about parenting, pets, fashion, money, in-laws, weight, housework, chores, communication, neatness, jealousy, past history, friends, sex… whatever you argue about, we want to hear from you. tell us why you absolutely need a marriage ref to weigh in and decide who is RIGHT and who is WRONG.” ‘the marriage ref’ premieres on nbc this fall.
