The Everybody Loves Raymond star has come aboard to produce and star in an Internet reality series dubbed Dating Brad Garrett, which will chronicle the funnyman's adventures as he goes on various blind dates with 10 different women.
Sony Pictures TV, which produces the actor's current Fox sitcom, 'Til Death, is overseeing production on 10 episodes, which will premiere this fall on its Crackle.com website. But why is Garrett participating in the project?
"An online dating show seemed like a logical choice given that I'm in the midst of a midlife crisis, and adverse to pain," Garrett said. "And since I'm not picky about my choices, I hope women of all sizes, shapes and colors will be compelled to submit their videos."
Potential candidates looking for a shot at love with the 48-year-old divorced father of two can upload their video pitch starting today at Crackle.com/datebrad. Ten femmes will then be selected to hit the town with Garrett by his urologist and his ex-wife, who will act as matchmakers for the comedian.
"I think it's important to know that I don't drink alcohol and I don't do drugs. If you go out with me. You may want to," Garrett joked in a short online video touting his qualifications. "I'm looking for a woman [who] doesn't aim high. If you have a low self-esteem, it could be you."
The comic said with a straight face that he likes little people because "my shrink says I have a Napoleon complex," adding that "my social life mirrors my movie career."
"I'm picky but not in demand," cracked the Emmy winner.
Netizens can also access Dating Brad Garrett via YouTube, AOL Video, Hulu, AT&T and Verizon Wireless' V Cast video service.
Besides his small-screen work, Garrett has lent his voice to a variety of big-screen animated hits, including Pixar's Oscar-winning Ratatouille, Finding Nemo and A Bug's Life as well as Night at the Museum. Other movie credits include Music and Lyrics and The Pacifier.
