“I tell people every day that Drew and I have the greatest job in the world,” said Jonathan. “We feel lucky that we’re able to give these Hollywood powerhouses an opportunity to share a side of themselves you don’t usually see, while also changing someone’s life.”

 

“Part of what makes Celebrity IOU great is that the stories are so unique and diverse,” said Drew. “The celebrities have known their loved ones for years, so there’s a lot of history there. They get the satisfaction of doing something for someone they love, and it feels amazing that Jonathan and I get to be the conduits for that.” 

 

In a heartwarming episode airing 2 June, Rob Lowe will knock on Carol’s door with a mariachi band and the Scott Brothers in tow to surprise his dear friend and assistant of 27 years, who he says is an integral part of his family. Although Carol has made some improvements to her home, Rob, Drew, and Jonathan will work together to give her the stylish and functional kitchen and living areas she’s always wanted. When Jonathan unexpectedly falls ill, the popular actor will step out of his comfort zone and go full throttle with Drew to lay new flooring, hang stunning white oak cabinets and install high-end porcelain countertops. During the emotional reveal, Rob will show Carol the many custom features in her new spaces, including a pass-through window to the backyard and a built-in banquette. 

 

Drew and Jonathan will tackle more superstar renovations throughout the season, including a detached garage turned California coastal living room and an outdated kitchen transformed with design elements like terrazzo and herringbone wood floors.
