Do you have any guest stars that you enjoyed on the show? Do you have any least favorites?

I didn't have any least favorite guest stars, but one of my favorite guest stars would have to be The Beach Boys who appeared in the Season 6 episode called The Karate Kid Returns.

Favorites: Jack Elam and Earnest Borgnine, and the actors who played Jill's parents

Least favorite: Mario Andretti. He was a very overrated racecar driver, and an absolute jerk in real life. My dad use to work for him, I've met him several times and can confirm he's trash.

I liked Ernest Borgnine as well, but it's too bad about your experiences with Mario though.

It's all water under the bridge now. His son Michael is cool, he was always very nice to me. He didn't get along well with Mario either.

I'm trying to think of more guests stars, but I haven't watched the show much recently. I always liked the guys who played music with their tools, but I can't remember their name?

My Favorites:

Rodney Dangerfield (Rodney started Tim, and Tim idolized Rodney)

Penn and Teller (2 of my favorite entertainers ever)

Dan Aykroyd (Underrated)

Jack Elam (I love this guy. I think he was great in everything he was in. Check out Cannonball Run, Support Your Local Sheriff, or 75% of every Western movie from 1960-1980)

Bob Villa (I loved to watch This Old House when I was a kid)

George Foreman (I am a lifelong boxing fan and George is legit one of my favorite boxer's of all-time. Cool guy too)

Johnny Rutherford, Robby Gordon, Mario and Michael Andretti, Al Unser, Sr./Jr./III (I have personally met every single one of these distinguished gentlemen. All of them are cool except for scumbag Mario)

M. Emmett Walsh (The Col. was a legendary character actor)

Polly Holiday (She'll always be Flo in my eyes)

Drew Carey (Not funny at all. Almost as worthless as Mario)

Payne Stewart (A cool guy for a golfer. Sad way to die)

Ernest Borgnine (Legend, McHale's Navy is a cool show)

I felt Home improvement did a great job with guest stars. ALot of times their are overhyped or just plain boring. I would probably say the Bob Vila ones were my favorite but none stick out as disliked

I myself thought the episode with all the guest stars talking about Tim's book (Leeza Gibbons, etc.) was boring.

I just thought the plot was really bad itself, not just the guest stars.

I loved watching Alan Jackson and the Beach Boys! Also in my opinion, Tom Wopat NEVER should've shaved off his facial hair in between his two episodes! That man looked good in his beard!

God bless you and him and AJ and the Beach Boys always!!!

OK. I remember that one now. Kind of sad when you think about it. Not only is Rodney dead, but they also demolished the Silverdome a few years ago as well. :(
