Mr. T and his famed mohawk could be taking a sledgehammer to a home near you.
The 62-year-old former "A-Team" star has signed on to host a home improvement series, aptly named "I Pity the Tool," for the DIY Network, according to a video tweet from the network Thursday.
"I'm going to be smashing and bashing, knocking down things, tearing down things. Then I'm going to build it up," Mr. T says in the video announcement.

The show will debut later this year.
