Ty Pennington, Television host, carpenter and designer

Article Abstract:

Carpenter and designer Ty Pennington is the host of the reality television program, 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition', on which he and his team completely remodel or rebuild houses for such deserving individuals as a family of orphans. The handsome handyman with a sense of humor and an athletic figure is a favorite with viewers, but some critics question whether he and other attractive imitators he spawned on similar shows were truly qualified workmen or were simply sex symbols in tool belts.
