Actor George Takei and his partner Brad Altman talk about the landmark episode.George Takei -- who played Mr. Sulu on "Star Trek" -- and his partner, Brad Altman, will be the first gay contestants on the show that has been on and off TV since its primetime premiere on ABC in 1967.
The game show, currently hosted by singer Carnie Wilson, has newly married couples compete against each other in a series of question rounds to determine how well the spouses know, or don't know, each other.
George Takei on Shatner Feud When longtime host Bob Eubanks presided during the show's earlier days, he always teased and tested couples about how well they knew each other, with questions about "making whoopee."
"I grew up watching the show in the 1970s where Bob would talk about 'making whoopee' and now Carnie Wilson just asks how often you have sex," Altman said. "It shows how much our culture has changed."

Freakshow!
“I grew up watching the show in the 1970s where Bob would talk about ‘making whoopee’ and now Carnie Wilson just asks how often you have sex,” Altman said. “It shows how much our culture has changed.”
Not something I want to know about Mr. Sulu and his friend...
How much will I not watch this show?
Eat'n corn......the long way
Takaei hatred of Shatner has been nearly psychopathic, even when they are together. Even Shater is puzzled by this.
Does anyone know why?
GT seems a bit unbalanced to me, and I’m not sure he would be the best choice for a show like this, regardless.
To boldly go where no man has gone before?
The networks and their writers have been inserting this agenda on every program they air. As soon as they do during ANY program we watch, it is a deal breaker for us. We don’t watch many programs anyway, and the list of refuse to watch keeps growing. Never watch anything even remotely resembling “reality tv”, or game shows either. But none the less, this is called jamming, and it is an insult to all decent Americans and their families.
“That would be the butt, Bob”
Oh I bet in Takei's case, plenty of men have gone there before.
Takei is in his 70s. This isn’t marriage, it’s estate planning.
He had a crush on Shatner and Shatner said no way
I will not watch any of it. As a general rule, I boycott all of garbage shows the networks put out. There is only a handful of shows I will tune into. Boycott them into the ground, I say.
“That’d be in the mouth, Carnie.”
“I guess the winner receives a trip to the planet Uranus. (I apologize for the seedy comment”
It was inevitable...someone had to do it...
There IS STILL a Newlywed game???? I am SO BEHIND...
