HGTV’s star siblings open up about their growing slate, knowing when to draw boundaries and the celebrity home-renovator who surprised them the most: 'She jumped into the excavator and went bananas'

What those familiar with the 45-year-old affable and self-deprecating brothers do realize is that they’ve emerged as pop culture darlings. Through their renovation show, they persuade stars like Gwyneth Paltrow to take sledgehammers to walls. More recently, the White House courted the duo for a comedy short for April’s Correspondents’ Dinner. Even Tina Fey wrote a season-long joke intoin hopes of scoring a Property Brothers cameo.

You produce all your own shows now — but originally you were just on-air talent. How did you make the switch?Jonathan and I started pitching ourselves to the networks in Canada. One of the network heads said, “You guys are great, I like your ideas, but we’d never give money to you. We need to give it to a trusted production company.

Your deal has long been at HGTV. What’s one way that your jobs have changed since the Warner Bros. Discovery merger?Because we’re one of the largest unscripted independent production companies in the country, this merger has just opened up so much more opportunity for us to grow and add series across the platforms. They’ve been really willing to lean into what’s important to us and our values. Our production company produces a lot of LGBTQ content.Jonathan and I did almost everything together.

When you’re approached by a stranger, do they call you by your names or refer to you as “Property Brothers”?Sometimes they’ll say “Hey, it’s the Property Brothers,” but a lot of times it’s, like, “It’s Drew and Scott! I love you guys!”Nobody knows my name. Everybody always asks, “Are you Drew or Scott?” Well, I’m neither of those.

The Scotts are producing more shows in which they don’t star — including LGBTQ content, such as drag queen Trixie Mattel’sJonathan, you’ve said the house you recently renovated with your partner, Zooey Deschanel, is your “forever home.” Is there such a thing for a serial renovator? I’m sure we’ll have a vacation property or something like that, but this will be the house that I stay in and pass down to the kids. I’ll probably put a plot somewhere where I bury myself when I go.
