Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin are set to host ABC’s revival ofExtreme Makeover: Home Edition,and the Home Edit founders are clearing up one misconception about the long-running franchise.
Sheryl Palmer, CEO of home builder Taylor Morrison, who recently partnered with professional organizers and the show, added that even the long hours involved during the show’s 24/7 schedule amount to far fewer than the typical six-to-eight month process required to build a house.
“No matter how you cut it, it’s still seven days,” Teplin confirmed.

Teplin called joining the beloved series the “opportunity of a lifetime,” adding, “We are just the most grateful. I don’t even know how we got here, honestly.”
“It’s a pinch-me kind of situation,” added Shearer, who looks forward to connecting with families facing difficult medical situations after she wasdiagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer in 2022.
“It’s such an iconic franchise,” said Teplin. “And then not only is it the one deserving family, but it brings the whole community together in such an unbelievable, just compassionate way.”
“I think we’re going to be crying,” Shearer replied.
