Love, Marriage, Deception, John Waters

John Waters is now the unofficial face of marital horror stories with his promos for the new reality series Who the (Bleep) Did I Marry? The Investigation Discovery series will air Wednesdays beginning September 1 and will explore stories of couples who thought they were happily married until they uncovered shocking secrets about their spouses.

The network wanted someone who encapsulated the mischievous humor of the program and Waters was deemed the perfect person. "There's a surprise aspect in the show, a shock value ... and [Waters] just captures that in a nutshell," ID chief Henry Schleiff tells New York magazine. While the director, noted for his outrageous films Pink Flamingos and Female Trouble, isn't yet a part of the actual series, Schleiff hopes that will change. "We'd love to find other projects for him that would allow a greater contribution," Schleiff says.
