- CBS Media Ventures is developing a daytime talk show with Jonathan Scott under the working title "Better! With Jonathan Scott," which aims to "inspire audiences with fresh ideas to live better, all while having fun doing it."
- The pilot will be filmed later this June in New York and will be considered for CBS Media Ventures' fall 2027 syndication slate; if picked up, the distributor would sell and syndicate it across local TV stations.
- The show's premise includes interview segments with famous guests and lifestyle experts alongside its lifestyle-improvement focus.
- Scott enters a thinning daytime field: "The Kelly Clarkson Show," "Access Hollywood" and "Sherri" have all left the air this year, per the report.
- Jonathan Scott co-hosts the long-running Canadian reality series "Property Brothers" with twin brother Drew Scott and hosts HGTV's "Celebrity IOU," and the brothers have renovated more than 1,000 homes together.
- Scott's résumé beyond TV includes climate activism, work with Habitat for Humanity, and the 2020 documentary "Jonathan Scott's Power Trip" on obstacles to solar and renewable energy.
Why it matters: CBS Media Ventures is moving to fill a daytime lineup thinned by the 2025 exits of "The Kelly Clarkson Show," "Access Hollywood" and "Sherri," giving a syndicated platform to a reality-TV veteran (Scott has renovated 1,000+ homes with his brother) who has never anchored a celebrity-interview format.
