Throughout the course of this year, in the midst of a pandemic-stricken world, we have been forced to remain fixed in our homes within which we have learned the value of a welcoming, sleek, and refreshing foundation and space. Reflecting upon such, a surprise home-improvement renovation is a gift that keeps on giving. In CBS’ new reality series, Secret Celebrity Renovation, generous celebrities express their gratitude for the special and impactful people in their lives by gifting them with surprise home remodeling and renovations.

The series, hosted by Nischelle Turner, most notably associated with Entertainment Tonight, and produced by Robert Horowitz’s Juma Entertainment, will invoke laughter and zeal as acclaimed celebrities get down to redesign their close friend’s homes. Along with this excitement, come meaningful moments of friendship and moving anecdotes of support that will tug at viewers' heartstrings. Ultimately, CBS’ new series explores the most cutting-edge and upcoming interior design trends and techniques. 

Spotlighted celebrities that are set to appear include distinguished athletes, Chris Paul and Emmitt Smith, as well as famed Hollywood actors and personalities like Eve and Wayne Brady. Alongside the stars, interior design aficionados, Jason Cameron and Sabrina Soto, will work to help these celebrities achieve the renovation gift of their dreams.

This series strips away the glitz and glamour of Hollywood stars, allowing them just to recognize, appreciate, and celebrate those who helped them to achieve their own personal, emotional, and/or career-based success. Secret Celebrity Renovation promotes gratitude by demonstrating that even the uber-famous started from somewhere, received assistance along the way, and should definitely cherish that.

Secret Celebrity Renovations will premiere Friday, July 9th, on CBS.

Though friendships are not transactional, and no kind act or favor can reimburse the genuine benevolence and care of a best friend, it feels wonderful to be appreciated and recognized for one’s true support, especially when the appreciation of a friend has the potential to completely transform and improve one’s home. For Kevin Hart and his personal trainer and close friend Ron Everline, commonly known as “Boss,” this is exactly the case. A heart-warming episode of HGTV’s acclaimed Celebrity IOU, available for streaming on discovery+ as of July 5th, celebrates Kevin Hart and Boss’ friendship as Hart works to renovate Boss’ property.

Beloved comedian, actor, and producer, Kevin Hart, can handle anything, and often does so with a smile on his face and by employing his well-known comedic genius, but even Hart finds himself sometimes needing the assistance of a professional and/or friend. After a life-altering and devastating car crash left Hart severely set-back and unable to walk, Boss was unequivocally encouraging, helpful, and involved through every step of Hart’s recovery process. Now, with his health and mobility back in check, and his heart fonder than ever toward Boss, Kevin Hart aims to demonstrate his profound appreciation for his selfless friend. Hart, in tandem with adept renovation and real estate professionals, Drew and Jonathan Scott, collaborate to remodel Boss’ deteriorating back-house into an upscale, exciting, and sleek retreat for the altruistic friend. 

The newest episode of Celebrity IOU follows Hart and the Scott twins' journey to remodel Boss’ place and is full of opportunity for both laughter and tender moments. During the episode, Hart and the brothers redesign the back house’s kitchen and main areas to be reflective of Boss’s personal style and motivational mantras and even choose to include a barbershop area as a reference to how the good friends first met getting their hair cut back in 2003. The episode highlights Hart’s little-known flair and expertise for design, and of course, demonstrates Hart’s golden heart and infectious attitude. 

Though the home design renovations, featuring a hidden bar, large stone kitchen island, and expansive entertainment-emphasizing living area serve as phenomenal touches, Hart’s words and motivations are what show his true gratitude for his friend. The personal stories and intentions move Boss, the Scott brothers, and fans alike, and serve to reveal both Boss and Hart’s character, and underscore the power of their friendship.
