Ty Pennington is a carpenter who really came into in the media spotlight as a team-member on the show Trading Spaces where he aided teams in building the furniture they needed to re-do the room of their nighbor/friend/family member etc.
Following his popularity from this show he was chosen as the host of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition which airs every Sunday at 8pm on ABC. Extreme Makeover renovates the homes of generous and deserving people who cannot afford to fix up their homes themselves. He spends 240 days out of the year working on the show, and declares it to be “the greatest job in the world”. Even though he is the host, and not a carpenter on the show, Ty chooses one room each show to renovate totally secretly on his own; he has not stopped doing the carpentry work that he became famous for.
