Executive produced by John Cena, Junk or Jackpot? follows Berk as he helps collectors create the home of their dreams by determining which of their valuable items are worth keeping. With the money earned from selling pieces of their collections, Berk gives their spaces a much-needed makeover.

Ahead of the show’s December 2025 premiere, Berk exclusively told TV Insider that the idea for the show came from Cena. “He was out at dinner with friends one night and talking about his collections. He needed to get rid of some stuff to make some room for a renovation,” he explained. “Some of his fan collections had gotten out of control. He thought this would be a really cute show. He went to HGTV about it, and they loved it.”

Why Did HGTV Star Bobby Berk Leave ‘Queer Eye’?

Berk noted that Cena approached him about hosting the show after watching him on Netflix’s Queer Eye. “Of course, when John Cena asks you to host a show, you say, ‘Yes, sir,’” he quipped. “The rest of history. It has been a lot of fun.”

Unlike the people he helps on the show, Berk is not a collector himself. “I’m a minimalist,” he stated. “Although there were multiple closets and cabinets that were out of sight and out of mind when we moved into our home five years ago. I just shoved things in going, ‘I’ll eventually come back to this.’ During the show while filming I thought, ‘Now is the time. Now is the time to get through these closets and clean them out.’”
