The television network is just one of many businesses that encompass the Gaineses empire. You are going to see us - well, maybe a six-month delay, like the rest of the world - but we are excited to be back," Chip said on the show. "You are going to get to see the kids grow up.

There are currently no plans for the Gaines family to have a tv show on the network, but Chip told Fallon that they weren't ruling it out completely. The couple announced the news in November during an appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," saying that the network is in the preliminary stages but they hope to be up and running in the next 12 to 18 months. Chip and Jo are currently working with the Discovery Network, the parent company for HGTV, to create their own television network, dubbed Magnolia Television. While "Fixer Upper" is off the air for good, the Gaineses could still end up back on television. What the TV future looks like is a big, fat question mark," Gaines said,

"We are having so much fun enjoying our family and growing this business here in Waco. I mean, why? You're getting to have all this fun, right? But it's like if I put a camera in your face and said, "Hey, say something funny." Or if I put a camera in your face and said, "Hey, be smart." I just struggled with that environment," Gaines said.

But the more staged something becomes, or the more required something becomes, it boxes me up, and I felt like toward the end of the Fixer Upper journey, I felt caged, trapped. So, as long as things are natural and organic, I'm in my element. Gaines explained that the first three seasons of 'Fixer Upper' were some of the best years of his life, but the following two years were more difficult as he felt "caged" by the requirements of filming the hit home makeover show. Jo(anna) and I are both just kinda giddy, just like, Man, what's the future look like and what's the next step? Because we're both business people, and that's fundamentally who we are," Gaines said. "Something about breaking out of that has been liberating. Speaking with Cowboys & Indians magazine, Gaines said that he and his wife, Joanna Gaines, have been "giddy" since the show ended in March.

HGTV's "Fixer Upper" ended eight months ago, but Chip Gaines said he was ready for the hit show to come to a close.
