Los Angeles, December 8, 2006—NBA star Doug Christie and his wife, Jackie, will release their first comedy project, The Christies Un-Cut, on December 20, 2006. The DVD, comprised of 60-minutes of comedy sketches starring the Christies, is loosely based on the different facets of the couple’s life and relationship. Produced by Infinite Love Productions, the DVD—as with the Christies’ reality series, Committed: The Christies—offers new insight into their marriage and family life.
With the help of their family and friends, Doug and Jackie Christie poke fun at themselves as well as the media’s scrutiny of their marriage. The lighthearted sketches throughout the DVD cover a wide range of topics, including a “Haters Club” sketch about a support group aimed at helping people criticize various individuals. The DVD also has bonus features, such as sketch bloopers, various photos of the couple, and commentary from the Christies’ friends, including actors Angell Conwell (Soul Plane) and Kel Mitchell (Kenan & Kel), among others. Written, directed, and produced by the couple, The Christies Un-Cut highlights the never-before-seen comedic side of Doug and Jackie Christie.

The reality show, which airs each Thursday night at 10:00PM (ET) on BET-J, chronicles the day-to-day lives of both Doug and Jackie Christie. Their annual wedding ceremony, discussions about Doug’s career, and the running of Jackie Christie’s fashion company are just a few aspects of the Christies’ life featured on the reality series.The Christies Un-Cut will be available online at www.JackieChristie.com for only $19.95, where you can also pre-order your copy.
