Starting early next year, Pennington will host a new game show on Fox, ''Exhausted,'' and he's also working on a how-to book. (Don't worry, ladies: He's not leaving ''Trading Spaces.'') EW.com chatted up the charming carpenter, who told us about the show, the furnishings in his house, and how you can have a piece of Ty (from his furniture company, that is).

Tell us about ''Exhausted.''
We're putting people in these situations where they're completely sleep-deprived and we're making them take on driving courses, battle each other with fire hoses, and walk across catwalks in pajamas... blindfolded. They start with eight contestants and the last one standing at the end of however many hours it takes will win $1,000 an hour. It's pretty hilarious what people will do to stay awake: This one guy was dancing all night. Let me tell you, people get a little cranky when they've been up for that long.
