I can’t quite put my finger on what stands out the most about “Extreme Home Makeover.” Maybe it’s the lack of empty beer cans on the job site. Or the contractor who has washboard abs and actually shows up when he says he will. Let’s go with all of the above.We had a bit of a wait for Ty Pennington, but it was a damn good wait, seeing as it took place in the green room of “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” complete with a fully-operating bar, catered food and ESPN News on giant plasmas. I just got a retroactive boner.
Ty was the nicest, most outgoing guy, with a smokin’-hot girlfriend and a photo autographed by Kermit the Frog which he claimed was his prize possession that he takes everywhere with him. He’s a big kid who loves life.
I’ll now make one more sweeping generalization, following my love of all Canadians: guys named Pennington are damn good people. Chad Pennington is the classiest guy in the NFL, and Ty Pennington is just classy, period. Ask Kermit.
