Takei and Altman on 'Making Whoopie'

Out actor George Takei and his husband, Brad Altman, will be the first gay couple to appear on The Newlywed Game.

"George and I are thrilled. It's pretty historic for us," Altman told the New York Daily News. "It's going to be a great experience for both of us to see how well we really know each other after 22 years together."

The couple will compete on the revived game show that originally premiered in 1966. It has since gone through a handful of reincarnations.

Takei and Altman married in 2008 during the period in which same-sex marriages were legal in California.
