New 'Clean House' Host is Tempestt Bledsoe


She may not wear a trademark flower in her hair, but former “Cosby Show” star Tempestt Bledsoe knows a clean house when she sees one. Bledsoe takes over Niecy Nash’s old spot to become the new host of the Style Network show, and she debuts tonight at 10 p.m.

"Tempestt brings new attitude and comedic style to 'Clean House,'" said Renee Simon, vice president of current programming for Style. “Her charm, enthusiasm and desire to help people have been clear since day one. We believe that viewers will fall in love with our newest addition to the 'Clean House' team throughout the coming months.”

Given Americans' cluttered homes - disturbingly profiled on shows like A&E’s “Hoarders” - it’s not surprising that Daytime Emmy-winner “Clean House” has been The Style Network’s number-one makeover show for the past seven years. With Nash now gone to “The Insider” and other projects, Bledsoe is preparing to step into some popular shoes. But she’s ready for the challenge.

"I'm thrilled to be a part of the Style family and especially to be working on 'Clean House,'" said Bledsoe. "I love meeting these families, and I look forward to helping them get their cluttered homes back in order."

Bledsoe was tested on her very first episode with couple Amber and Dave, who live with their two kids and a sister, Jacque. Bledsoe’s questioning upset Jacque, so much she ran out of the house crying, but Bledsoe connected to her to find out the reason she’s the main culprit in the home’s abundance of clutter.
 
Bledsoe is helped out by the “Clean House” team – Trish Suhr, who specializes in yard sales, interior designer Mark Brunetz and problem solver Matt Iseman.
