CBS Orders SECRET CELEBRITY RENOVATION to Series

CBS has ordered SECRET CELEBRITY RENOVATION, a new one-hour reality series that gives celebrities in sports, music and entertainment the chance to gift a surprise home renovation to a meaningful person who helped guide them to success. Celebrities participating in making these heartfelt gifts include GRAMMY(R)-winning artist and host Eve (THE TALK); actor and comedian Wayne Brady (LET'S MAKE A DEAL); NBA All-Star Chris Paul; Pro Football Hall of Fame running back Emmitt Smith and more.

Hosted by Nischelle Turner (ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT), the series will feature the design team of home improvement contractor and television personality Jason Cameron ("Man Cave," "While You Were Out") and interior designer Sabrina Soto ("Design Star," "Trading Spaces") who set out to help celebrities show their appreciation with a special renovation gift to a meaningful person from their hometown.

"Behind the lights and glamour, actors, musicians and athletes are real people who wouldn't be who or what they are today without some help along the way," said Executive Producer Robert Horowitz. "Returning to their hometowns for a heartfelt walk down memory lane to thank a special person in their lives gives every episode of SECRET CELEBRITY RENOVATION so much depth and emotion."

SECRET CELEBRITY RENOVATION is produced by Robert Horowitz's Juma Entertainment (THE GREATEST #ATHOME VIDEOS, "Super Bowl Greatest Commercials," "Lip Sync to the Rescue"). Horowitz, Lewis Fenton and Peter DeVita are the executive producers.
