Nickelodeon will 'make history' this week as it will have its first ever gay couple in their cartoon The Long House. The episode entitled 'Overnight Success' will see Clyde McBride introduce his parents, Harold and Howard, to his best mate Lincoln when he heads to their house for a sleepover.

The parents are voiced by comedians Michael McDonald and and Wayne Brady (Whose Line is it Anyway?). Their appearance has been praised in a review for PinkNews as depicting the two men as overprotective and fussy and not putting the attention on the parents relationship.
