The horrific portmanteau "celebreality" just got one more pilot under its genre blanket thanks to the massive success of Dancing With The Stars, and it's even dumber-sounding than Dancing With The Stars. Which is, I guess, a feat in itself. ABC has just ordered Celebrity Wife Swap, based (obviously) on the successful unscripted series of the same name, "normal people" Wife Swap, which premiered in 2004 and has now lasted over half a decade on the network, hitting the 100 episode-mark in 2009.
Currently under a six-episode contract with the production company, ABC hasn't announced which celebrity spouses would be switching lifestyles, though it's safe to assume it'll be some D-listers in severe need of publicity. For instance, Saturday Night Live alum Victoria Jackson hinted on her blog last month that she had been approached by ABC execs to appear on Celebrity Wife Swap.
Feels right, given that Jackson is an overzealous Christian (she recently called a same-sex kiss on Glee sickening) who probably agrees with the God-given rights in the Bible that a husband may trade his wife for cattle or dry goods, or some other dude's wife. Good luck with that, Victoria.
Sure, it's tacky, but do you think Celebrity Wife Swap will make for good reality TV?
