Jerry Seinfeld Returns To NBC With New Reality Show

Jerry Seinfeld is returning to NBC! The comedian is teaming up with Ellen Rakieten (The Oprah Winfrey Show) to produce a comedy-reality series called The Marriage Ref (that’s the working title anyway). We average joes have a tendency to get caught up in the marital dramas of celebrities but from the sounds of it, Seinfeld’s new show is about to turn the tables on that.

According to NBC’s announcement, “The Marriage Ref will feature opinionated celebrities, comedians and sports stars who will candidly comment, judge and offer different strategies for real-life couples in the midst of a classic marital dispute.” The premise of the series has a lot of potential for hilarity, which, from what Seinfeld says, is the goal, “This is not a therapy show, it's a comedy show. After nine years of marriage I have discovered that the comedic potential of this subject is quite rich.”

I’m thinking the success of this series will rely on the right combination of funny comedians and celebs and enough married couples willing to put their problems on display.
