‘Wahlburgers’ in Talks With ‘Ted’ About Guest Appearance by Mark Wahlberg’s Teddy Bear (Exclusive)

Bears like burgers, right? The producer of A&E’s “Wahlburgers” hopes so. He wants Mark Wahlberg‘s talking bear from the movie “Ted” to make a special guest appearance on the show.

Producer Rasha Drachkovitch envisions an episode in which the foul-mouthed stuffed animal, voiced by Seth MacFarlane, would show up at the main Wahlburgers restaurant to harass Paul, the Wahlberg brother who runs it.

“Mark’s shooting ‘Ted 2,’ and we’ve talked about bringing Ted, the bear, into one of the episodes,” Drachkovitch told TheWrap. “Mark’s going to talk to Seth about it. We’re talking about doing it for Season 2. I would love to figure out the special effects and all to have a scene where he kind of plants the movie franchise with the television series. It would be wicked cool.”

“You’d come in with the bear — ‘Hey, where’s Paul Wahlberg?’” said Drachkovitch, doing Ted’s Boston accent. “Why not dream big?”

The talking bear segments would need to be — gasp — scripted. But Drachkovitch believes viewers could adjust to the concept of a reality show not being 100 percent real.

“We break the wall. We’re not taking the show super seriously,” he said. “If you see a talking bear, and it’s scripted, you’re in on the joke.”

A&E has ordered 18 episodes of the hit show, double the initial order of nine. The series follows Paul Wahlberg as he tries to expand the restaurant with the help of brothers Donnie and Mark. Mark wants to build out the business fast, while Paul wants to take his time and get it right. Alma, the family’s matriarch, wants the family to stay true to its Dorchester, Mass., roots. Donnie is caught in the middle.

Ted wouldn’t be the first star to drop in on the Wahlbergs.

The show has already featured a visit from Donnie’s real-life girlfriend, “View” co-host Jenny McCarthy. It will also feature Donnie’s “New Kids on the Block” bandmate, Joey McIntyre, recording a Wahlburgers jingle in an upcoming episode.
