While Susie Essman, popularly known for portraying Susie Greene, the foulmouthed wife of Jeff Greene (Jeff Garlin) on Curb Your Enthusiasm, continues her profane outbursts on the acclaimed HBO series, the comedy actress can also be seen presiding over six episodes of a new reality series called Better Half.
Broadcast on Bravo, Better Half features spouses/mates of two trained professionals such as chefs, comedians, party planners, and hairstylists as they square off in competition. With only two days to coach, they train their novice partner to take on their jobs and beat the opposing “better half” in a final challenge. In each episode, three judges who are noted in the featured line of work will evaluate how well each couple executed the job handoff. The new series, which debuted on October 3, features the Curb star as the outspoken host that will critique how the couples listen and learn from each other.
