The AP jumped on it as the show's "first gay couple," so it's all over the internets today:

"To boldly go where no..." ah, forget it. It's been done to death.

Thats really cool. And they've been married less than 24 months so they qualify. (at least under the old rules, is it still the same now?)

We haven't taped that episode yet, but it's been talked about on set.
I'll let you know when those couples come out... I mean, when they appear!

OMG, have I become so adept at keeping secrets that I forgot to "come clean" to my friends?
America's original reality show is back for a second season with several improvements... including ME! I'm behind the Electrovoice RE-20 right now, with my Telex headset and Sony monitor, and the scripts for today's five episodes. And man, does it feel like home to be back in the TV millieu!!!! 20 shows this week... Michael Davies on set... lovely Carnie making her magic... and me in the booth while some kid stands all day doing warm-up. Life is sweeter than ever!!

Terrific news, Randy. Carnie is really good--she deserves you!
One question--have they (you) changed the dorky end game?

And, Randy West, are you acknowledged by name by our host Carnie Wilson?
For example, "Thank you, Randy West" and "What have they won, Randy West?"

It's all "Randy this" and "Randy that"!
I haven't heard my name called on a mic this often since I was misbehaving in Junior High School assemblies!

That is soooo great Randy! Major congrats. How wonderful to be doing what you love!

George Takei appearing anywhere is worthy of a headline.
In three weeks he'll be appearing at Gelson's.
-
I'm more intrigued by the appearance of Monkee-for-life Davy Jones and his Latina telenovela actress wife, Jessica Pacheco. Apparently there was a report less than a month ago that he had accused her of spousal abuse.
"Ladies, what was the largest object that you personally have ever thrown at your husband?"
Fun ensues.

You mean other than Star Trek conventions? I'm wondering if George or his better half will be sitting with the ladies when the questioning starts.

Good question. Can they switch off for the different segments?

All three couples will be same sex couples
On a serious note, it will be interesting to see if this week of shows clears all markets.

I'm not following...Newlywed is on GSN, so would a cable system be able to prevent the show from airing, considering airs on basic cable?

Sure, they could make the local GSN signal mysteriously go black, or be replaced by a test pattern, or by TBN for half an hour.
But I have a feeling none will bother.

My bad. I was thinking NG is syndicated -- duh!
Where I live I can pick up GSN if I plug the cable into the special adapter card in my Apple II.

I'm really happy that George Takei is actually experiencing a popularity surge after he came out. It must feel really great to be able to live your life publicly for the first time and be embraced more than ever (see also Neil Patrick Harris...who will do a wonderful job at the Emmys)

You know what I find interesting (and similarly satisfying) is that since he's come out, he's been significantly more, well, flamboyant. Which is great; I can't imagine how it must have been to have to suppress that in public. So it makes me smile a little when I see him on TV being who he is instead of who he felt he had to be.

FLASH - We tape this week, and I'm now of the belief they will NOT be all same-sex couples. Stay tuned for details ;-)
