Ellen DeGeneres to Launch First Cable Series

Talk show host and producer Ellen DeGeneres is teaming up with cable network HGTV to launch a six episode furniture design competition series.

Ellen’s Design Challenge will pit six competitors against one another as they take on challenges such as sketching, designing and building furniture, all in a 24-hour span. The contestants will then showcase their creativity to a panel of judge. The last competitor standing will take home a cash prize.

“I’m so excited about this show because I love finding really special pieces of furniture,” said DeGeneres. “One time I found a beautiful one-of-a-kind armoire that spoke to me in a way I’d never experiences. It turned out there was a drifter living inside of it, but that’s a story for another time.”

HGTV and DIY Network president Kathleen Finch expressed her excitement for the forthcoming show. “There has been a lot of dancing in out halls since we shared that we will be collaborating with Ellen. When she talked with us about her love of buying and renovating homes, her personal passion for the creative process of furniture design emerged as something the she wanted to explore more. We just had to make it happen.”

Ellen’s Design Challenge is slated to debut in 2015, and will be produced by DeGeneres’ A Very Good Production, as well as A. Smith & Co. in association with Telepictures.
