The Amazing Clarks Reveal Original Creation Behind 90 Day Fiancé Reality TV Phenomenon
Charlotte, NC — August 19, 2025] — Celebrity relationship coaches and award-winning authors, Anthony and Melanie Clark—widely known as The Amazing Clarks—are finally breaking their silence on a long-overdue claim: they were the original concept creators of what the world now knows as the hit TLC series 90 Day Fiancé.
In the early 2000s, the Clarks developed and pitched a groundbreaking reality TV concept titled "I Want to Get Married Now." The show followed long-distance international couples navigating cultural differences, meeting in person for the first time, and racing to marry in under 90 days. Sound familiar?
Despite the bold and timely concept, networks passed, saying the idea was “too controversial,” especially for mainstream audiences. Years later, 90 Day Fiancé hit the airwaves with nearly the same concept—and exploded into a multi-season franchise and global sensation.
“We were ahead of our time,” says Anthony Clark. “Back then, networks told us Americans weren’t ready to see interracial, cross-cultural, international love stories play out on national TV. Now it’s one of the biggest reality franchises in the world.”
The Clarks still possess the original pitch deck, treatment, and email correspondence that support their early claim to the concept.
