BURBANK: Ty Pennington, the host of ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, is joining Project Runway’s style mentor Tim Gunn and renowned fitness and nutrition expert Harley Pasternak on The Revolution, ABC Daytime’s new daily show about health and lifestyle transformations.

The Revolution team will assist viewers in all areas of their lives, including family, physical and emotional well-being, fashion, home design, personal finance, food, jobs and more. The series will premiere in January 2012 and is produced by 3Ball Productions. JD Roth and Todd Nelson serve as executive producers.

“Ty’s passionate and deep connection to everyone he helps makes him the perfect choice to join The Revolution,” said Brian Frons, the president of daytime at Disney/ABC Television Group. “The energy he brings with him is an excellent complement to our previously named hosts, Tim Gunn and Harley Pasternak. Our goal is to include inspiring and informative motivators as we build The Revolution team and continue to evolve our lineup with the type of lifestyle programming that daytime viewers are interested in seeing.”
