Michael Buckner/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — Mr. T is handy, and now he has a TV show to prove it. The 1980s icon will star in a new DIY Network program, I Pity the Tool.
The title plays off his famous catchphrase, “I pity the fool.”
On the show, the former A-Team star and his crew will demolish outdated rooms and provide home makeovers for families.
Mr. T, whose birth name is Laurence Tureaud, points out in a statement that he worked in the demolition business before making it in Hollywood. He adds, “I’m tired of all this jibber jabber — we’re out here getting things done, working hard, demolishing the old and rebuilding the new.”
I Pity the Tool will premiere sometime later this year.
Mr. T is the latest celebrity to receive a show on the DIY Network, joining the likes of Vanilla Ice and William Shatner.
