Star Material? Audition to Host NAHB-Produced TV Shows

If you think you’ve got what it takes to host a home building TV show, the NAHB Production Group, which produces cable programming for networks such as HGTV and DIY, is auditioning potential hosts for new programs.

Sign up by Monday, Jan. 29 to audition by e-mailing tv@nahb.com.

The auditions will be held at the 2007 International Builders’ Show on:

  • 4:00-7:00 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 7
  • 3:00-6:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 8  


The NAHB Production Group is seeking camera-comfortable experts in design, building, architecture, carpentry, interior design and other home-related fields.

To Schedule an Audition

If you would like to audition, and you are extroverted as well as an expert, e-mail the production group at tv@nahb.com.

Include your area of expertise and a brief note about why you would be a good television host.

Please e-mail tv@nahb.com not later than Monday, Jan. 29

The NAHB Production Group currently produces “I Want That” on HGTV and “Rock Solid” and “Assembly Required” on DIY. Several more shows are in production and will begin airing later this year.
