TOOLBELT TAKEOVER: MIKE HOLMES JR. BUILDS MIKE’S ULTIMATE GARAGE

• Mike Holmes Hands Over the Reins in the One-Night Television Event Mike’s Ultimate Garage September 1st at 8pm ET/PT on HGTV Canada

Canada’s Most Trusted Contractor, Mike Holmes (Holmes on Homes and Holmes Makes It Right) trusts his son Mike Jr. to build his dream garage in Mike’s Ultimate Garage, premiering Monday, September 1st at 8pm ET/PT on HGTV Canada. This two-hour special follows the father and son duo through every tough lesson and hard-earned victory, as Mike Jr. learns there’s no blueprint when it comes to working with family.

Mike has envisioned his state-of-the-art man cave for years and is ready to make it a reality. With the foundation and block frame in place, Mike turns the jobsite over to Mike Jr., but that doesn’t mean he won’t be around to scrutinize every nail and screw. This is Mike Jr.’s biggest challenge yet as he manages both an intricate build and the growing expectations of his father, an all-star contractor who has made a career out of doing it right the first time.

With the support of the Holmes crew and sister Sherry, Mike Jr. races against mother nature to complete the garage before winter. In the final days, Mike Jr. bans his father from the garage to add a few personal touches and some seriously cool technology. For the first time in his career, Mike must wait on the sidelines for the final reveal.

TORONTO (August 12, 2014) – In 1984, Prince’s “When Doves Cry” topped the charts, the first Apple Macintosh personal computers landed in stores, fashion was all about aerobics and lace, WHO’S THE BOSS was tops on TV, Madonna’s seminal sophomore album Like A Virgin arrived, and music videos on TV were king. And on August 31, a scrappy little music station was launched that quickly became a community for youth across Canada, thirsting for the latest fix of music and pop culture. Thirty years later, Much takes a look at some of the music and pop culture events that have shaped the channel with the 30-minute special MUCH 30th, premiering Saturday, Aug. 30 at 9 p.m. ET, as well as the 100 GREATEST VIDEOS EVER, starting earlier that day on Saturday, Aug. 30 at 11 a.m. ET.

“Much was a wild and dynamic place to be in the 80s,” said Steve Anthony, Much VJ, 1987-1995. “The MUCH 30th special really shows how through the constantly evolving world of pop culture Much has always been irreverent, cool, and in touch with its audience. It will always be forever young.”

“Every day at Much is a new adventure and MUCH 30th illustrates that,” said Liz Trinnear, current Much VJ. “As a child of the 80s, I know our fans are going to love revisiting some of the events that have shaped Much. Here’s to many more exciting moments to come!”

From legendary icons to incredible unscripted moments, MUCH 30th features current and past Much VJs including Devon Soltendieck, Hannah Sung, Liz Trinnear, Phoebe Dykstra, Steve Anthony, Traci Melchor, and Tyrone Edwards, who share stories and insights from their time on Much. The special revisits some of the biggest and most entertaining happenings in the channel’s 30-year history, including One Direction shutting down the streets around Much HQ in Toronto and giving fans the surprise of a lifetime; a young Mark “Marky Mark” Walhberg stripping down to his skivvies to do abdominal tricks; an interview with Tupac Shakur taped just a week before his death; and Jay Z introducing his then unheard-of protégé, Rihanna, to his fans. The special also includes new interviews with some of the Much audience’s favourite Canadian musicians, including Hedley, k-os, Serena Ryder, and Sam Roberts who recount their times at Much both past and present, as well exclusive anniversary greetings from some of music’s biggest names.
