The House That Norm Built
The House That Norm Built
Mon, 10/03/2022 - 9:00pm - 10:00pm
Norm Abram is officially leaving the show and hanging up his tool belt.
After over four decades, This Old House’s Master Carpenter and pioneer of the home improvement television genre, Norm Abram is officially leaving the show and hanging up his tool belt. Norm will be sent off in style with a one-hour tribute special The House That Norm Built premiering Monday, October 3, 2022 at 9 p.m. on WXXI-TV. It encores Saturday, October 8 at 5 p.m.
The special will highlight and chronicle 43 years of Norm’s incredible career featuring classic moments, archived footage, interviews and memories from celebrities, friends, peers and those who worked alongside him. Norm’s inspiration reached far and wide for a humble man who became a national celebrity through his uncompromising craftsmanship, trademark plaid shirt, impersonations on popular sitcoms, bits on late night TV shows, morning shows, nationally syndicated cartoons and as the ultimate authority in home improvement. Norm appeared in over 1000 episodes of This Old House, worked on over 50 home renovation projects and hosted more than 280 episodes of The New Yankee Workshop.
