Jerry Seinfeld is looking for Orange County couples with marital troubles for a new reality TV series, the Orange County Register reported on June 1, 2009:

“The Marriage Ref,” a new reality series with comedian Jerry Seinfeld as executive producer, will hold a casting call in Irvine on Thursday, looking for O.C. couples willing to air their dirty laundry in front of a national TV audience.

Actually, if you fight with your partner about doing the laundry, that might be even better.

“The Marriage Ref,” which will air on NBC at some future date, is looking for “outgoing and opinionated couples in long-term relationships” who will go on TV to “have a long-standing argument or issue that must be resolved.”

In case you’re wondering whether you qualify, examples given include: fighting over an object, person or habit “that is a third wheel in the relationship,” your partner’s “annoying, obnoxious habit,” or your partner doing things “like withold(ing) sex after a fight?”

The marriage refs on the show — celebrities, athletes and comedians — will issue rulings and try to resolve the disputes."
