Viral gay couple from '90s game show reveals they're still together 30 years later
Contestants from a ‘90s US game show, who at the time described themselves as “business partners”, are in fact a gay couple who are still together to this day.
Tim Leach and Mark Dammann appeared on a 1991 episode of Lifetime’s Supermarket Sweep, a shopping-themed competition series where participants answered trivia questions for a chance to win trolleys full of free goods.The revelation about the contestants’ relationship came after one X user, namely Tom Zohar, posted about the pair on social media.
He noticed Leach and Dammann while rewatching old episodes of the show, and was suspicious about their status as “business partners” who “design sets for plays”.“The host asked them what’s the weirdest set they’ve been asked to design and their whole lives flashed before their eyes trying to come up with a heterosexual answer,” Zohar joked.
