Bette Midler appeared as a celebrity panelist on The Marriage Ref, a reality TV panel game show hosted by Tom Papa and executive-produced by Jerry Seinfeld. The show featured real-life married couples presenting their quirky or absurd marital disputes, with celebrities debating and deciding who was “right” in the argument.

Her episode aired on May 13, 2010, during Season 1 (listed as Episode 11 or “Episode Eleven” in some sources). She shared the panel with comedians Howie Mandel and Craig Robinson.

The format involved humorous commentary on relationship issues, and Bette—married at the time for about 25 years—brought her signature wit to the discussions.
