ABC is expanding the scope of Celebrity Wife Swap and instead having celebrities trade lives instead of spouses. The summer season kicks off later this month with an episode that is bound to be hilarious, with Joan Rivers swapping with Bristol Palin, the daughter of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
The network said that Rivers and her daughter, Melissa, will swap with Palin and her sister, Willow. Melissa went to Wasilla, Alaska last month and was shocked to see snow. She has to help Willow and Bristol’s son Tripp, living within the structure of the Palin family household.
Bristol takes over Melissa’s role as executive producer on Fashion Police and, to make it even more hectic, Joan is planning a huge dinner party.
After the Rivers/Palin episode, the girlfriend and wife of former WWE stars "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper will swap lives on the June 30 episode. The July 7 episode will feature singers Nia Peeples and Tiffany swapping lives. There will be three more episodes that will be announced at a later date.
Celebrity Wife Swap premieres on Sunday, June 23 at 8 p.m.
