David Cook: Extreme Makeover: Home Edition Preview
Check out this preview of tonight’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, featuring David Cook.
David assists Ty Pennington and the crew to build a new house for the Cowan family. In the preview, you meet their daughter Kori, who suffers from a congenital blood disorder. Mold in the house exacerbates her symptoms, which includes polyps in her sinuses. She raises money for cancer research on behalf of a friend who has cancer.
David’s section of the preview begins at about the 3:23 mark. David’s “Heroes” plays in the background as he describes his involvement in the project to build a new house for the family. David and Kori run an auction to sell bracelets to fund cancer research. Plus David and the crew play soccer, with amusing results.

I’m watching it now Sassycatz. Cory is such a great (and adorable) kid. And we’re getting even more Cook coverage than I expected!!!
I am. Cory is amazing girl. I’m so happy she got a chance to meet Dave and to get this big reward for her and her family for all they have done for their community.
Also that house was 1 million times worse than I thought.
I love Kori. I hope my son is inspired.
I’m crying AND smiling. I love that Cook dude and everything he stands for.
This is how you use celebrity. Proud fan here.
I’m still crossing my fingers they show that soccer bit.
OMG that house looks fantastic! It was so amazing to see the looks on the family’s faces when the saw it. That truck was one amazing gift too.
I’m watching too. Kori is a doll and such a courageous, generous spirit. Well geez. *dabs eyes*
Cookie doing arts and crafts with those precious children in the cancer ward…oh man. I go from being verklempt to LOL at the precariously perched hardhat. If something actually did hit him in the head that hardhat would go flying in a hot second. Oh, and how did he never talk about walking on those stilt thingies in the interviews? To me that looked way cooler than carrying drywall.
I absolutely love the paint color. And I’m so happy for that family. Aww.
My son said he wants to help people like David Cook
He did the Race for Hope with me, too, and was really moved by that. *Sniff* I just love that David Cook.
Aw, Landon Donovan – how sweet
Waaaaaaaah!
If they would auction off raw footage of David just working around that house, I know they’d raise money. I wish.
Well that was awesome. Lol at the WTF look he gave at the auction of the Ty picture.
The auctioning off of the picture of Ty and barely getting any bids for it and those funny faces Dave made….Priceless. LOL
aww tierbee, you have an awesome son. You need to give him an extra special hug next time you see him.
Oh, tierbee, that’s so great. What a fine son you have, and what a fine role model he has.
Well. I guess DC leaves me no choice but to be his fan for life. That was wonderful.
Paulie: “Am I your favorite designer?”
Random worker: “Yeah!”
Paulie: “Good. I need you to call 555-…. You can call as many times as you want!”
(looks to David Cook)
Paulie: “Is that how it works?”
David Cookie: “Worked for me.”
Bwahahahaha!
That nose wrinkle at the end!!
GOD. I look like I got punched in the face and I think my tear ducts are drained. I almost held it together until the hospital visit.
Just finished watching EMHE and Kori is such an inspiration…David Cook LOVE him !
OMG. I cried like a baby on this whole episode. These girls, Kori and Alyssa, are an inspiration. Tears. And the builder, talking about his dad? More tears. And David talking about Adam and his continuing efforts to fight for a cure? And the kids in the hospital? Tears. GAH.
Wow. That was wonderful.
eta: I had to laugh at David on the industrial pogo sticks. What a roller coaster. I had a big ole smile through my tears, too.

LOVE. THIS. GUY. KORI definitely ROCKS! Great show! Count me in on a lifetime membership to the David Cook Fan Club!
so proud to be a David Cook fan. glad he was involved in the project in so many ways. and glad he felt he could open up a little about his brother. Cook is certainly a classy guy.
There’s a website for Kori’s irok foundation mentioned on the show.
The picture gallery has pictures of her with several of the idols (Archie, David, Brooke, Michael J, and Syesha) – the AI concert is where David must have met her before the show. Also pictures from the DC concert the family went to later.

Aww, was it Archie’s Christmas CD that you bought? From what I’m seeing, there are alot of Archucook fans out there. I think both guys are so good-hearted, and their brotherly bond almost makes me cry…and so did this episode.
Ty Pennington has tweeted a couple of times about Cook tonight, including this very cute Twitpic:
@iamreallyty: http://twitpic.com/xm0u8 – A big thank you to David for giving his time and talent to our show!
Love, love, loved the show tonight. Kori’s story is incredibly inspirational and I was all kinds of verklempt watching my all-time favorite Idol get so much joy out of giving back. I tend to be a cynical bitch but that dude has an uncommon ability to turn me to mush.
No. It was his first CD. I can’t get into Christmas. lol
ETA: I mean Christmas music. I can get into Christmas. hehe
This is the first time I watch the whole show. Both of those kids are amazing.
I was also amazed at how much I got into the show. Cook’s fabulous arms distracted me a bit during the making of the pillows…just for a minute though.
Kori is a very admirable and amazing person. The whole show was very moving.
DC looked cute as always
I loved watching him interact and he looked happy and involved.
