Tim Allen‘s Home Improvement character of Tim “The Tool Man” Taylor returns to television with tonight’s (January 7) episode of Last Man Standing. Oh, the joys of studio mergers, having both characters again under one roof!
FOX is airing the episode at 9:30PM ET/PT tonight, and at least from the guest cast below, it doesn’t appear that any of his Home Improvement co-stars — many of whom have guested on Last Man Standing before — will appear. Here’s how the episode is described; photos and the cast list follow. As you can see, there’s definitely an obscured-face scene honoring the late Earl Hindman (Wilson) from Home Improvement.
The Baxters see double when Vanessa hires a home improvement repairman who bears an uncanny resemblance to Mike. Meanwhile, Kyle and Ryan defend their favorite comic book writer to Mandy and Kristen, and Mike struggles with an idea for his Outdoor Man 10th Anniversary vlog in the all-new “Dual Time” time period premiere episode of LAST MAN STANDING airing Thursday, Jan. 7 (9:30-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
