Gary Busey, Ted Haggard to Swap Spouses
Both will star on an upcoming episode of "Celebrity Wife Swap."
Sept. 22, 2011 -- Because they can't seem to get enough of reality TV, Gary Busey and disgraced pastor Ted Haggard will swap partners for an upcoming episode of "Celebrity Wife Swap."
Haggard, the former New Life Church pastor, and his wife, Gayle, will appear in the spinoff of the ABC reality series, along with bad boy actor Busey and his baby mama Steffanie Sampson.
The episode will tape today at the GLBT Pride Center in Colorado Springs, according to ColoradoSprings.com.
Neither Haggard nor Busey are strangers to reality television. After Haggard saw his life crumble when he was caught in an affair with a gay male prostitute, he made appearances on countless talk shows, including "The Oprah Winfrey Show." He and his wife also appeared on a 2009 episode of "Divorce Court."
Now admitting he may be bisexual, Haggard was also featured in documentaries on TLC and HBO.
Busey is an alum of both "Celebrity Rehab" and "Celebrity Apprentice."
Besides having reality television in common, both claim to be reformed bad boys.
Busey is a born-again Christian. Haggard has returned to the ministry as pastor of the non-denominational St. James church in Colorado Springs.
