The Marriage Ref

The Marriage Ref is a comedy series airing on NBC where a celebrity panel aims to give their version of marriage counseling to couples involved in ridiculous arguments by declaring a clear winner. The show is produced by Jerry Seinfeld, who is featured on the panel in the premiere. Imagine if married life was like sports, and there was a clear winner and loser to every fight. That is the premise of the Marriage Ref, where the couples can settle once and for all who is right. The panel and the Ref, host Tom Papa, watch a video giving them background on the real-life couple and the details of the fight. The panelists and the Ref then go around and break down the sides of the arguments by poking fun and making jokes. After some deliberation, the panelists each say who they would side with, but it is ultimately up to the Ref to decide who to award the victory in the fight. The panels have brought together very different celebrities together, such as the show which featured Larry David, Madonna, and Ricky Gervais helping Tom Papa. MORE
