Takei, Hubby First Gay Couple on Newlywed Game

Star Trek actor and husband just marked 1st anniversary

Share

(Newser) – The new version of the Newlywed Game will feature a gay couple for the first time—Star Trek actor George Takei and his husband Brad Altman, Queerty reports. Takei and Altman just celebrated their first anniversary—they’ve been together for 22 years but didn’t tie the knot until the brief legal window in California last year. The show airs on the GSN cable network next month.

Queerty's only request: "Host Carnie Wilson needs to ask George the weirdest place they've made whoopee."
