Jonathan Scott Developing Daytime Talk Show 'Better!' With CBS Media Ventures
CBS Media Ventures is developing a daytime talk show hosted by HGTV personality Jonathan Scott, with a pilot set to tape in New York later in June. The show, tentatively titled 'Better! With Jonathan Scott,' aims for a fall 2027 syndication slot and would feature lifestyle content and celebrity interviews. The project comes as daytime television faces a notable gap following the cancellations of 'The Kelly Clarkson Show,' 'Sherri,' and 'Access Hollywood.'
CBS Media Ventures is in development on a new daytime talk show hosted by Jonathan Scott, one half of the 'Property Brothers' duo alongside his twin brother Drew Scott. A pilot episode is scheduled to be filmed in New York later in June, with the project under consideration for the company's fall 2027 syndication slate. The working title is 'Better! With Jonathan Scott,' and the show's logline promises to 'inspire audiences with fresh ideas to live better, all while having fun doing it,' incorporating celebrity interviews and segments with lifestyle experts. If picked up, CBS Media Ventures would sell and distribute the series to local TV stations, as it does with existing properties like 'Jeopardy!,' 'Wheel of Fortune,' and 'The Drew Barrymore Show.' Beyond his television work, Scott is a climate advocate who has testified before the U.S. Senate Climate Change Task Force, produced a documentary on solar energy, and in 2025 led the acquisition of smart-home technology company Phyn. The development comes at a moment of flux in daytime television, with several high-profile shows having recently ended their runs.
What's missing
It is unclear whether any broadcast stations have already committed to carrying the show.

America at 250: Conservative Voices Debate the State of Higher Education and Shared Culture
Two opinion pieces published ahead of America's 250th anniversary argue that foundational American ideals are under threat — one focusing on the ideological drift of universities away from merit and civic education, the other on the erosion of a common national culture that once bridged class divides. Both pieces are written from a conservative perspective and appear in right-leaning outlets. The arguments reflect a broader debate about what American institutions should preserve or restore as the nation marks a major milestone.
