"I've always loved game shows," Carnie, 40, says. "My personality and energy is perfect for something like this. First of all I'm married, and I loved watching The Newlywed Game when I was younger. I watched it all the time. I always hoped the couples would start fighting."

The new edition of The Newlywed Game premieres April 6. It will feature an updated set and a new bonus round with couples who have remained married since appearing on the show.
