STAND-UP COMEDIENNE MARGARET CHO AND ACTRESS HOLLY ROBINSON PEETE SWAP LIVES FOR ONE WEEK ON ABC'S "CELEBRITY WIFE SWAP"

"Margaret Cho" / "Holly Robinson Peete" - Stand-up comedienne Margaret Cho and actress Holly Robinson Peete are featured on "Celebrity Wife Swap," WEDNESDAY, JULY 1 (10:00--11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

Margaret Cho is a stand-up comedienne with numerous successful comedy specials who loves to push the envelope with her racy jokes. She also devotes much of her free time to fighting for equal rights and equality for the LGBT community. Residing in Hollywood, CA, Margaret lives with her best friend, comedienne, burlesque performer and actress, Selene Luna, and performance artist, Moni. Her close family often visits. Not a fan of cooking or cleaning, dirty dishes and old take-out containers are always a staple inside the home. She also prefers not to bathe regularly and rarely showers in her environmentally sound outdoor tent shower. Margaret, Selene and Moni don't follow a set schedule and enjoy sleeping in late and drinking wine in their pajamas during all hours of the day.

Holly Robinson Peete is an actress best known for roles on "21 Jump Street" and "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper." Holly lives in Los Angeles, CA with her husband of 30 years, former NFL star Rodney Peete and their four children: Ryan (17), R.J. (17), Robinson (12), and Roman (10). Holly and her husband are extremely organized and keep the family on a tight schedule with regular "family board meetings" detailing all of their extracurricular activities. Sports are the central focus of the Peete household, with R.J., Robinson and Roman all active in various leagues. Gravitating more to music and art, daughter Ryan sometimes feels left out and a lack of attention from her parents.

When it's time for the swap, both Margaret and Holly meet their new families and know they are in for an adventure. For Margaret, dealing with schedules and sports are two areas far from her expertise. She also feels that Rodney and Holly need to find the romance in their relationship, so she takes Rodney in handcuffs to a naughty dungeon where he must act out fantasy scenarios with Margaret under the watchful eye of a former porn star and sex expert. Meanwhile, Holly tries to ease in to Selene and Moni's wine-filled ways and is surprised to find out that she will be filling in for Margaret at a local comedy club. Holly is taken back even further when Margaret's family takes her to a local Asian food market and cooks her a dinner she will never forget. In the end, both women learn something new about themselves, and help bring a new perspective to their new families.

"Celebrity Wife Swap" features two women of celebrity families trading households, lifestyles and children (but not bedrooms) for one week. During that time, the women - and swapped families - learn what it's like to live in someone else's shoes, but everything changes during the second half of the week when the women make their own rules and get the chance to run the household their way. At the end of the week, the couples reunite for a raw, honest and highly-charged exchange of views in which they make frank assessments of one another and discuss the experience.

"Celebrity Wife Swap" is produced by Zodiak LA. Bruce Toms, Tony Yates, Alex Cross, Michael Davies, Dave Shikiar, Joel Karsberg and Cem Yeter are executive producers. It is broadcast in 720 Progressive (720P), ABC's selected HDTV format, with 5.1-channel surround sound. This program carries a TV-14,D,L parental guideline.
