And in the past few Months Disney's Mickey Mouse did a parody of Extreme Makeover Home Edition on their Youtube segment.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is making a return. Discovery-owned HGTV is set to produce 10 new episodes of the former ABC series for premiere in early 2020. HGTV also secured the rights to air 100 existing episodes of the original series that ran on ABC for nine seasons from 2003-2012. At its peak during the 2004/05 season, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition averaged nearly 16 million viewers on Sunday nights.


The cast has not yet been revealed for the new episodes, but will feature HGTV’s own home experts in the weekly race to complete a custom, whole home renovation for a deserving family, according to the network.

“This is a big win for HGTV and we can’t wait to put our stamp on it,” said Kathleen Finch, chief lifestyle brands officer, Discovery Inc., the parent company of HGTV. “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition was must-see viewing for years because it combined moving stories of families and communities with life-changing home renovations. It’s the type of program that taps into every emotion and it’s the reason it was so popular with everyone in America.”

OGDEN — Ashraf Kambere’s worries didn’t go away when he arrived at the refugee camp.

At the forefront of the 13-year-old’s mind: How would he provide for his younger brother and sisters?

He and his three siblings had escaped captivity in the war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo, where both of their parents and their youngest sister were killed. As the oldest child, Kambere was now in charge.

With the occasional help of strangers, and foraging for food along the way, Kambere had brought his family to the Kyaka refugee camp in Uganda.

They would receive help here, but he was still worried. And that’s when something Kambere can only describe as a miracle happened. In a camp with more than 20,000 people, he spotted his aunt from a distance. He hadn’t seen her in years.

“I called her. I said, ‘Anifah! Anifah!’ And then she turned around. When she turned around, she knew me and she came to me,” Kambere recalled. “The first question was, ‘Where are your parents?’”
