GSN is boldly going where no Newlywed Game has gone before.

Star Trek's George Takei, he of the mean Jon Gosselin impression, and partner Brad Altman will be the first same-sex couple ever to participate in the game show when the cable net airs a celebrity edition later this season.

So anyone interested in knowing the weirdest place they've "made whoopee," be sure to set your Tivos.

The couple recently celebrated the one-year anniversary of their marriage but have been together for 22 years.

Joining them in the celebrity editions of the show this year will be Dancing With the Stars pros Edyta Sliwinska and Alec Mazo, Christopher Knight and Adrianne Curry, Survivor's Jonny Fairplay and his America's Next Top Model wife Michelle Deighton and the Real Housewives of Orange County's Lauri Waring and George Peterson.

The Takei show, which has yet to be taped with new host Carnie Wilson, is expected to air sometime in October.
