Ed Del Grande
Ed the Plumber, DIY Network
Ed Del Grande, DIY Network's three-time Master Plumber and contractor, was born and raised in a family-owned plumbing business. He has over 25 years of experience in every aspect of construction. He holds current Master licenses in pipefitting, fire protection and plumbing and is also a licensed private pilot.
Ed spent his days working in construction and worked nights as a professional comedian from 1981-1991. He worked his way up the comedy ladder and was voted one of the funniest comedians in America by Showtime TV; he also appeared on ABC TV's America's Funniest People. In 1992, Ed retired from comedy to combine his performing and construction talents in the how-to home-improvement television field. Starting on HGTV with shows such as Dream Builders and The Fix, Ed grew to become one of the most respected and experienced how-to personalities on TV.
Today, Ed is one of DIY's busiest hosts and constantly promotes DIY with interviews on NBC's Today show, CNN and MSNBC, to name a few. He also makes many live appearances across the country as a spokesperson and speaker.
It's really hard to keep up with Ed and all he does, but you can catch a glimpse of him on Ed the Plumber, Warehouse Warriors, DIY Plumbing, Help on the Homefront and I Did It With Duct Tape on DIY! Email your plumbing questions and comments to [email protected], and they may appear on DIY!
