Gut Job
Gut Job is a Canadian home renovation reality television series, which premiered in 2022 on HGTV Canada.[1] Created by Thunderbird Entertainment and hosted by Sebastian Clovis,[2] the series features Clovis working on major home renovations where for structural reasons the home has to be virtually gutted and rebuilt; typically the "gut job" project is depicted over several episodes, with each episode also balancing the major renovation with smaller "B-story" projects for other homeowners.[1]
Unlike Clovis's prior series Save My Reno, in Gut Job he does not work with a regular design co-host, instead bringing in a variety of different guest designers on different projects. Design guests on the show have included his former Save My Reno co-host Samantha Pynn, and his partner Ayanna Augustine.[3]
The series premiered April 27, 2022 on HGTV.
It received a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Lifestyle Program or Series at the 11th Canadian Screen Awards in 2023.
