Appearances

On March 6, 2005, the Muppets helped the team rebuild the home of the Harris family, who have the first ever set of surviving African-American sextuplets. The Harris' home was damaged by Hurricane Ivan, and Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear and Animal appeared on the show to pitch in. The Muppets also appeared the next night on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition - How'd They Do That? with more clips of their time at the work site.

For the April 9, 2006 episode, Kermit appeared as guest host in Pennington's absence. As a special two-hour episode, the team built a home for the Craft family, and presented them with a new Hybrid SUV. For this appearance, Steve Whitmire was assisted by Carmen Osbahr and wranglers Andrea Detwiler, Michelle Hickey and Debbie McClellan credited as "The Green Team."

Elmo made a brief appearance on the November 25, 2007 episode (the 100th, to be exact) to help design the kids bedroom.

In Sesame Street Episode 4132, Grover (performed here by Frank Oz) assumes Pennington's role, as with megaphone in hand, he breaks into Mr. Johnson's house (the latter having apparently moved out of his apartment on 14 Sesame Street, and into his own home). Against Mr. Johnson's will, Grover enlists his construction team (bearing a striking resemblance to Biff, Sully, and Stella) to add one door after another (hence the show's title) to the house, until there are four doors on the wall. Mr. Johnson demands that the doors be removed, and Grover complies, but suddenly there are no doors left to exit out of.

In Elmo's Christmas Countdown, Ty Pennington appears with Count von Count to sing "I Saw Three Ships" in a spoof of the series called "Extreme Makeover: Christmas Carol Edition".
