Television

[edit]

Mark Montano is perhaps best known for three series on the Style Network and The Learning Channel. These series are "10 Years Younger", which he hosted; "While You Were Out", on which he frequently appears as a designer;[1] and "My Celebrity Home", on which he is both host and designer. Montano can currently be seen on WE TV's new show, "She's Moving In".[2] Montano has a flamboyant design sense that homeowners in "While You Were Out" are sometimes less enthused about at first, but are usually won over by his boisterous personality. In 2021, he co-starred with Chrissy Metz (This Is Us) and Leann Rimes to host "Meet Your Makers Showdown" for Discovery +.[3]

On "My Celebrity Home", Mark tours a celebrity's home and gives their style to a fan. Mark filmed "MY HOME 2.0", which aired on FOX and FIOS channels nationwide in April 2010. In 2015, Mark produced and filmed a 12-episode, half-hour series called "Make Your Mark". Make Your Mark is a DIY show based on his blog and YouTube channel and currently airs on most public television stations.
