"It is so exciting," Knight gushed of the sequence. "I mean, I've been trying to get a show on TV for so many years, and actually, HGTV told me we're not gonna do the celebrity thing, and I was like, 'Oh.' And then a few years later, things change, and they're like, 'Yes, this is perfect,' so it's been great."
"It's such a passion of mine, fixing up houses," he persisted. "I would post on Instagram pictures of projects I did, and fans would always ask me, 'What is your other job besides the New Kids?' and I just think it's so great to be able to showcase what I do, and people can watch."
