HGTV's Ty Pennington screamed 'all night' after realizing he made a 'mistake' leaving show that started career

Design expert Ty Pennington is opening up about his initial reaction after he decided to leave "Trading Spaces," which launched his career back in 2000.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Pennington explained that it was "a ballsy move when it's the greatest job you've ever had." "I was on the road so much, I started losing the clients I had, and so I could really only just work on the house I lived in, which means I was losing the income I was making," Pennington, who was the carpenter on half the "Trading Spaces" shows at the time, said.  "So, I was hit with sort of a tough decision.

I tried to get a raise and that wasn't going to happen." He continued, "There was a moment that I screamed like all night because I realized I'd made a mistake, but I got lucky and it paid off.

But that's in life. Sometimes you got to really -- it's like you got to play cards. You got to. You got to take a chance. And I got lucky." After "Trading Spaces," Pennington landed the hosting gig for "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," which ran from 2004-2012.
