Tim Allen revealed if there are plans for the ex Home improvement costar Jonathan Taylor Thomas to appear in his new sitcom Gear shifting.
“Anything is a possibility,” Allen, 71, said exclusively in latest edition My Weekly. “He just came back (for the last episode we shot). He showed up on set.”
Allen said he would love nothing more than that share the screen with Thomas43, again, adding, “He is literally my child. I raised that kid for eight years on Home Improvement. They’re all my kids and it makes me kind of sick.’
Before leading the cast of ABC Gear shiftingAllen played on Home improvement between 1991 and 1999 Thomas, Patricia Richardson, Taran Noah Smith, Zachery Ty Bryan, Richard Karn and Debbie Dunning. Thomas left the series early to focus on school, and eventually made the decision withdraw from gaming altogether.
Does everyone know what time it is? That was a famous catchphrase that came from Home Improvement, the ABC sitcom that aired from September 1991 to May 1999. The 30-minute comedy followed Tim “The Toolman” Taylor (Tim Allen) as he hosted a home improvement show called “Tool Time, ” even if it’s not at all (…)
Allen and Thomas eventually reunited on screen for four episodes of the series The last man standing. Thomas also directed three episodes of the sitcom. While Thomas stayed out of the public eye, Allen continued to find success as America’s favorite sitcom dad with his roles as Mike Baxter in The last man standingwhich took place between 2011 and 2021, and now there’s Matt Parker Gear shifting.
(My ex-screen wife) Nancy Travis once he said (something) to me after I called her in the process The last man standing. I said, ‘Did you talk to the girls (who play our daughters) over the summer?’ Then there’s a long pause and she’s like, ‘Tim, those aren’t our daughters and I’m not actually your wife,'” he joked. “She was so amazing about it because sometimes when they were having problems on the show, I’d say, ‘How do you think they feel?’ And she’d say, ‘Tim, it’s the actors. We just read (what’s on the page, but) that she’s not really that sad.'”
On Gear shiftingAllen plays a widowed father opposite the estranged daughter he plays Kat Dennings. The duo gushed about how “immediately” made a connection once cast in the show.
“The director wanted to see how we got along. It never stopped. Kismet was crazy. We were both born on the same day – many years apart,” he said Our. “We are different in many ways. But our attitude towards comedy is very similar. He pisses me off and I don’t have it easy like that. The executioner can (deliver these lines) with a straight face. Her anger – which she played on 2 Broke Girls — is very similar to the sharpness that Mike Baxter might get into right now.”
Allen continued: “When we’re arguing on screen, it’s funny that we interrupt each other and it’s completely natural. I don’t know where it comes from. I adore this man already. She and her husband (Andrew WK) are great people. It’s like I’ve known her for damn years, and so has most of this cast.’
Dennings, 38, felt the same way her bond with Allen.
“It clicked pretty quickly. When I accepted the role, we had lunch and I immediately felt that I could trust him for some reason,” she said in an exclusive interview with Our. “And he opened up to me really quickly. So I (was) like, ‘OK, this guy kind of let me in.'”
Confidence on set allowed Dennings and Allen improve your comedy skills. “It felt very organic,” Dennings recalled. “And as (filming) progressed, our scenes are so much fun, if I do say so myself. The fights are my favorite scenes because I’m not scared. Neither of us are scared. We just go with it and it’s so much fun.”
The winter TV schedule is packed with highly anticipated premieres and returns, including Pitt, Severance, The White Lotus and more. HBO’s The Pitt, which premieres in January, marks Noah Wyle’s return to medical dramas 15 years after his role as John Carter on ER. The series is described as a “realistic exploration of (…)
While Allen enjoyed working on Gear shifting, he wasn’t sure at first he would go back to sitcoms and narrate Our“It was a difficult decision. I did Disney+ Santa Claus series at the time and I said, ‘I can’t really think about it right now.’ Do I want to do linear TV? I was so depressed about how streaming hurt TV. So if I did it, I want to lift it up.”
Gear shifting airs on ABC on Wednesdays at 8pm ET before streaming the next day on Hulu.
