Ty Pennington

Had emergency surgery for acute appendicitis on Jan. 15, 2005, in Atlanta, Georgia, but continued to work on Das Hausbau-Kommando - Trautes Heim, Glück allein (2003) from his hospital bed, via phone and email.

[on his absolution]: 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.
