Bernie Mac has linked up with producer Ben Silverman to do "Welcome to the Family," a reality pilot for NBC. The idea is to feature couples in love who are ready to take the next step and become
engaged, but they come from wildly varying religious, ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
Mac will narrate the show in which the couples meet each other's families for the first time.
Silverman says the concept is "both intriguing and addictive. "It's all about falling in love, family and learning how to accept someone, despite cultural, economic or social differences." Mac is no
stranger to the concept behind the program, having starred next to Ashton Kutcher in "Guess Who," a 2005 comedy remake of "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner."
