“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.
“What we want is to display the normality and the joy of having a happy union,” Takei said. They haven’t taped the episode yet but expect to do so soon. GSN hopes to air it in October.
