- It's happening.
There had been talk of
a reality show featuring former La. governor Edwin Edwards and his 34-year-old wife Trina, but that rumor seemed to go the way of
the supposed Real Housewives of New Orleans. But
Entertainment Weekly is reporting that the show, called
The Governor's Wife, will premiere on A&E Feb. 27.
A&E, the network that brought us the Louisiana-based Duck Dynasty, says the show will follow "Trina as she attempts to fit into the former governor’s upscale world and busy social life while trying to get along with daughters twice her age and corral her teenage sons." As I've said before, I predict this show might be Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica meets The Girls Next Door.
This is the latest in many reality shows about Louisianians. I wrote a Gambit cover story about that trend; find it here.
