This time next year, don’t be surprised if longtime HGTV star Jonathan Scott is on your TV screen every day with his own talk show.
On November 12, 2026, the home improvement expert gave fans a sneak peek at the star-studded pilot episode for the talk show he’s been developing with CBS Media Ventures, titled “Better! with Jonathan Scott.” Calling it a “dream in the works,” Jonathan revealed many of the celebrities who showed up to film segments with him.
Here’s Who Joined Jonathan Scott For His Talk Show Pilot
Best known as one-half of the famed Property Brothers brand with his twin, Drew Scott, Jonathan revealed in June that he was filming a talk show pilot. The video clips he shared on November 12 revealed that multiple big-name stars showed up to film with him, with a colorful set as the backdrop.
He shared glimpses of himself chatting at a modern, curved desk with two women: celebrity chef Jamika Pessoa, and actress and “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum Garcelle Beauvais. In another clip, he wore red-and-green plaid pajamas, trying out a bed with “Desperate Housewives” alum Teri Hatcher.
Next, he played indoor basketball with actress Christine Taylor (who’s also married to Ben Stiller), and welcomed his fiancée, Zooey Deschanel, who arrived on set with a rolling suitcase.
The crowd then went wild as Jonathan juggled tomatoes on the gorgeous kitchen set. He exclaimed, “I’m not good at cooking, but damn, I’m good at useless things like that!”
Jonathan also sat down for separate chats with stars Chrissy Metz and Ray Romano, “unboxed” a secret guest who turned out to be his brother Drew, and demonstrated a home improvement painting tip. At the end of the video, he included a clip of himself thanking the audience.
“You guys have been incredible,” he told them. “This has been a new experience for me, but with just what happened here tonight, I think this is absolutely something that I want to do over and over and over. So, hopefully you come back over and over and over.”
Fans & Friends Heralded Jonathan Scott’s Pilot
Many of Jonathan’s famous friends and fans left comments on his video, including “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Heather Dubrow, who wrote, “SO EXCITED FOR THIS !!!!” Her former co-star, Crystal Kung Minkoff, chimed in, “APPOINTMENT TELEVISION!!!!!”
Someone who apparently attended the taping wrote, “We really enjoyed watching the filming and chatting with you about porch geese 😂 It was so nice to see that you’re a genuine guy, and not just a tv personality. Hope to see your show get picked up!”
Deadline reported in June that “Better! with Jonathan Scott” was being developed as a show that would feature interview segments with “well-known guests and other lifestyle experts.” CBS Media Ventures told Deadline the show would aim to “inspire audiences with fresh ideas to live better, all while having fun doing it.”
The show hasn’t officially been picked up yet, but Deadline said those backing the daytime series are hoping for a fall 2027 premiere.
