This Season’s Celebrity IOU Stars
Get ready for some out-of-this-world talent! (Pun intended.) Here’s who’s on the new season of Celebrity IOU:
William Shatner: GRAMMY Award and Screen Actors Guild Award-nominated and Emmy Award and Golden Globe Award-winning actor, author, producer, director, and singer.
John Stamos: Emmy Award-nominated actor, musician, and producer.
Mario Lopez: ALMA Award-nominated and Emmy Award-winning actor, producer, author, and television host.

Inside the Premiere Episode
The first episode will star John Stamos—who played the beloved role of Uncle Jesse in Full House, Dr. Tony Gates in ER, and Dr. Nicky in You, just to name a few. He and the Bros pay a visit to John’s high school best friend Ken to gift him a stunning garage and patio makeover. While the two were growing up together, they connected over their shared passion for music, magic, and photography. But when Ken’s father passed away, he stopped making music. John wants to reignite Ken’s inspiration for music and art with a beautiful new space to create songs and connect with family.
So together, Drew, Jonathan, and John will tear down Ken’s old garage and rebuild the space into a modern retreat, complete with new drums, a gorgeous workstation, and comfortable lounge seating—not to mention, an ambient patio with a sleek wood-slat succulent wall and cozy fire pit.
