Wife Swap: ABC Ordering Celebrity Version

Wife SwapWhat do you do if your reality show is running out of steam? You order a celebrity version, of course. It worked for Donald Trump’s Apprentice on NBC so why not Wife Swap?

ABC is reportedly ordering another season of its venerable Wife Swap series but this time with a celebrity twist. According to Deadline, the network wants six episodes of the reality series that would feature celebrities switching lifestyles. It’s not clear if there would be two celebrities involved or just one and a “regular” mom.

The network is keeping mum on who might participate but former Saturday Night Live castmember Victoria Jackson has hinted that she was approached.

Part of the primetime schedule since 2004, ABC’s Wife Swap is based on a British series by the same name. That one apparently did some celebrity episodes and they performed quite well overseas.

What do you think? Would a celebrity version interest you?
