Fatman Scoop and his wife, Shanda's new sex-info show, Man and Wife, debuted last night -- and they couldn't have asked for a better morning after. The New York Post gave them a full page shout-out in today's paper, and gives them major props for tackling all the tough issues (STD's, AIDS, sexual abuse) in addition to settling sex squabbles -- and dishing out the bediquette.
So how did this down-to-earth pair end up with a show where they get paid to talk about gettin' it on, dress exclusively in pj's and work "[f]rom the comfort of their comforter?" The NYP has the "scoop" (no pun intended):
"I was accepting applications for women to host [a show] with me, until I realized one night in bed that the woman that's in my face was the right woman for the job," says Scoop. The best part? "She's my wife, so I don't have to pay her!"
Fortunately for "CheapMan" Scoop, Shanda's got a great sense of humor -- and a firm belief in the healing powers of make-up nookie. "If we argue, or we're fighting, we have to end the day with sex," Shanda explains.
Judging by what we've seen so far, that ought to make for one jolly Fatman...
