Along with Hyndman, Sabados starred in the first three seasons of

Sabados frequently appears as a guest expert on various television shows and as a guest columnist in various design magazines. In an interview given on May 23, 2016, Sabados announced that he would be returning as one of several co-hosts, alongside Jessi Cruickshank and other hosts still to be named, of a new lifestyle program on CBC Television in October 2016.[6] The series was later announced under the title The Goods, with the other two hosts named as Andrea Bain and Shahir Massoud.[7]
