“The Pandemic Can’t Stop
‘Military Makeover With Montel’”
The COVID-19 shutdown ended early
in Georgia and producers used the opportunity to shoot a socially-distanced
Season 23 of the home renovation show "Military Makeover with
Montel." The five-episode series will air on the Lifetime on Friday
mornings at 7:30 a.m. ET starting August 21. This season the show renovates the
home of 27-year Marine Corps veteran Marcelino Marquez, his wife Francis and
three children in Dacula, Georgia, an Atlanta suburb located just off the
Highway 316 road to Athens. Marquez enlisted in the USMC straight out of high
school and rose to the rank of Master Gunnery Sergeant. He deployed twice to
Iraq and twice to Afghanistan, serving first as an infantryman and later
providing close air support as a Low Altitude Air Defense gunner. He finished
his service in mortuary affairs, working to locate, recover, identify and
return the remains of Americans and allied personnel killed in action. That
difficult job led to issues with post-traumatic stress. The crew will renovate
and upgrade the family's home, seen below in a "before" photo.
U.S. Naval Academy graduate
Williams hosted a successful daily syndicated talk show for 17 years. Since
ending the program in 2008, Williams has worked on behalf of veterans charities
and the MS Foundation, an organization he founded after his own multiple
sclerosis diagnosis in 1999. Williams is excited to continue the program for
another season. "In the nearly three decades since I retired from the
Navy, I've never really taken the uniform off because standing up for those who
are serving now and those who have served has been the greatest honor of my
professional career," he said in a release. Montel is joined by WWE
Superstar Lacey Evans on site for this season. Evans is herself a Marine Corps
veteran who served in the military police before launching her wrestling
career. She lives in Parris Island, South Carolina. "Military Makeover
with Montel" will also air on the Armed Forces Network and be available to
stream from the show's website.
^ I have watched this show for a
while now and really like it. I like that the episodes are short and that it
helps US Soldiers and Veterans. ^
