Ty Pennington easily takes the title of the OG of home renovation shows. With his pivotal roles on "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" and "Trading Spaces," Ty cemented himself as a construction and design expert with a larger-than-life personality. Throughout the years he's remained in the reality TV world, but he's recently found a home at HGTV with two brand new hosting gigs on the shows "Ty Breaker" and the upcoming second season of "Rock the Block."This week, we had the pleasure of catching up with Ty, getting the dish on his latest TV shows, and finding out what else he’s been up to—both on and off screen.______Want more “House Party”?
