GULF SHORES, ALABAMA: Ty Pennington, known as the face of 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition' for almost a decade, captivated audiences with its heartwarming stories and transformative home makeovers from 2003 to 2012. The show became a massive hit due to its unique combination of uplifting narratives and stylish renovations. Such was the show's impact that it was revived in 2020, but fans were taken aback when it was announced that the reboot would be airing on HGTV without Ty Pennington as the host.

This revelation left viewers wondering about the reason behind Pennington's absence, as it is difficult to envision the show without his charismatic presence. So, what led to this change? Read on to discover why Ty Pennington is no longer hosting 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.'

Why did Ty Pennington quit 'Extreme Makeover'?

In a candid interview with TMZ, Ty Pennington openly admitted that, after nine seasons, he feels it's time to step back from the spotlight and allow someone else to take the helm of 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.' He humorously remarked, "I shouldn't hog all the good vibes. You don't find that kind of quality, like real true honest good [television] very often," while also jokingly stating, "Besides, I'm too old for that, man." Although many respectfully disagree with his self-assessment, it seems Ty is ready to explore new opportunities and make way for fresh faces in the industry.

Despite his model-like appearance and charismatic personality, Ty Pennington revealed that he was offered a role on the enduring dating show 'The Bachelor' after gaining recognition through his work on 'Trading Spaces.' However, he made the decision to decline the offer, recognizing that it would have steered his career in a different direction. Additionally, Ty's journey took a significant turn when he received an ADHD diagnosis later in life, which impacted his mental health. This revelation played a part in his decision to let go of 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,' as he prioritized his well-being and pursued new endeavors.

Who is the new host of 'Extreme Makeover'?

Ty Pennington graciously passed the torch to 'Modern Family' star Jesse Tyler Ferguson as the new host of the 'Extreme Makeover' reboot, expressing his excitement for the show's continued impact on changing people's lives. In an interview with TMZ, Ty shared, "It's one of the best shows, I think, ever, changing people's lives. Hopefully [Jesse] will get to do that, too. Because that's really the fun part when you put your heart and soul into designing something for somebody and seeing that reaction. That's what it's all about." He also added, "Just being a part of the show for anybody — it's just going to be the best thing to ever happen to him." The original run of 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition' captivated audiences for nine seasons with Ty Pennington as the beloved host.
