Marriage Ref, The

THE MARRIAGE REF will feature opinionated celebrities, comedians, sports personalities and international A-list stars who will
candidly comment, judge and offer different strategies to real-life couples in the midst of a classic marital dispute. At the centre of the action is comedian and Hollywood actor Tom Papa who will play the role of Marriage Ref and make ‘the call’ determining the victor of each spat. Papa,who has toured with Jerry Seinfeld for the past eight years, was personally chosen by Seinfeld for this role. The couples that present their problems will be given a call by the Ref, just like in sports. Advising and influencing the Ref ’s decision will be a rotating panel of “experts” comprised of top celebrities, comedians and sports stars who will weigh in and offer their own wit, wisdom and
unique opinions. THE MARRIAGE REF marks Jerry Seinfeld’s first television series since Seinfeld ended its record-breaking nine year run in May 1998.
