Newlyweds is a reality television show on MTV that follows the daily lives of recently-married music artist couple, Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey. The show first aired in August 2003 and has run for three seasons. Simpson and Lachey were married in October 2002.
Part of the show's gimmick is displaying Simpson's ignorance, playing on the popular stereotype of "dumb blondes". For example, in one episode, when confronted with a can of Chicken of the Sea tuna, she asked Lachey "Is this chicken, what I have, or is this fish? I know it's tuna, but it says 'Chicken by the Sea'".
