Extreme Makeover, Ty Pennington Tsk, tsk, Ty Pennington. The megaphone barking host of ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition was arrested for DUI over the weekend. He was arrested at 12:15 a.m. on Saturday and released a couple of hours later after posting $5,000 bail. Pennington will head to court on June 4th. He made the following statement: “I made an error in judgment. We all make mistakes, however this is about accountability. Under no circumstances should anyone consume alcohol while driving. I could have jeopardized the lives of others and I am grateful there was no accident or harm done to anyone. This was my wake-up call. I also want to apologize to my fans, ABC Television and my design team for my lapse in judgment and the embarrassment I have caused.” You know, Ty used to appeal to me when he was the carpenter on Trading Spaces—a fun-loving guy who had a good sense of humor. But when he took on Makeover, I couldn’t stand him any more. Maybe it’s the megaphone or his need to bogart the camera as much as possible. Curious what this arrest will do for ratings and fans of the show.
