Better Half tonight at 10 EDT on Bravo

Here’s how Mike Duffy of the Detroit Free Press nutshells Bravo’s new show in which one spouse teaches the other spouse how to do his/her job:

That’s not funny, honey. Two women married to professional comics– model Ciara and scientist Stephanie– try to get in touch with their inner stand-up chuckleheads in time to perform before a packed house at a famed New York comedy club. Host Susie Essman (Curb Your Enthusiasm), a longtime standup comic, should be perversely amused. But do the husbands get to heckle?

Would it have killed him to mention the comics by name? (Joe Matarese and Ardie Fuqua) Would it have killed him to mention the last name of Matarese’s wife? (Cosentino) Would it have killed him to mention the name of the club? (Laugh Factory, NY)

Matarese says the show was taped a year ago.

Essman blogs about the show on BravoTV.com.
