Confirmed: The Fabulously Reverend Ted Haggard To Swap Wives With Gary Busey

[Ian David]

Controversial minister Ted Haggard will exchange wives with unpredictable actor Gary Busey in the ABC reality series Celebrity Wife Swap, a publicist for the network confirmed to The Advocate.

Wife Swap follows married couples as they exchange wives for two weeks. Rumors that Haggard, who first made headlines in 2006 when news of his affair with a male escort and crystal meth use broke, would join the celebrity edition of the series were first reported by the Colorado Springs Gazette. The Gazette also reveals that the series will film at the city's LGBT Center on Thursday.

Haggard, currently a pastor at St. James, a nondenominational church in Colorado Springs, told GQ magazine that if he was three decades younger, he'd identify as bisexual. Busey, who has also battled drug addiction in the past, identifies as a born-again Christian and is a minister with Promise Keepers.

No air date has yet been announced for the series.

1. Can't watch 'celebrities' reveling in their dysfunction.

And why is Ted Haggard still considered a 'celebrity'?

[Bucky]

11. He's a "celebrity" because...

Somebody "celebrated" him. In a motel room. While high. Sounds like a party to me.

[Booster]

2. Poor Ted obviously didn't understand the premise of the show;

he thought he'd end up with Gary. ewe, just threw up a little in my mouth. Didn't ABC already do this show? I certainly won't watch. I can't stand Ted or Gary.

3. Another despicable show highlighting despicable people. nt

[monmouth]

4. He must really need money. I assume they get paid for making

a$$es of themselves.. Is Gary with a man or woman?

[Scurrilous]

5. Making your wife spend 2 weeks with Gary Busey?

Sounds like a clear cut case of spousal abuse.

[nomb]

6. That's some fucked up shit.

I never thought I'd have a use for that meme.


I was wrong.

[WinkyDink]

7. And Ted gets Gary, right?

9. Kick

10. The wives agreed to this?

Those women need to skip the country and have a nice vacation together. Ted and Gary can do the show all by themselves.

12. Wouldn't 'wife swapping' technically also be 'husband swapping?'
