Former President Jimmy Carter has only two major TV credits to his name, but both are fairly appropriate for the political figure. In the 2000 PBS docuseries "The American President," Carter became the subject of the doc's investigation into America's highest office. Though the series covered many past presidents who had already passed away, Carter — in addition to George Bush, Gerald Ford, and Bill Clinton – was able to play himself.
But while Carter's appearance in "The American President" was illuminating, he entertained viewers even more with his appearance in the classic '90s sitcom "Home Improvement. (https://www.looper.com/107763/untold-truth-home-improvement/)" In a 1994 episode titled "The Eve of Construction," (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0603547/fullcredits) the former president once again appeared as himself, but with a plug for Habitat for Humanity — his longstanding passion project. After Tim (Tim Allen) competed with Al (Richard Karn) and Jill (Patricia Richardson) to see who could build a Habitat for Humanity faster, Carter said in a videotaped message, "Al and Jill, the house you built is a perfect example of what can happen when good people band together for a common goal. And Tim ... well, what can I say? Crews are working around the clock to repair the house you built."
It was a hilarious slight against Tim and a typically diplomatic chiding from the personable former president. In other words, it was yet another perfect footnote for Carter's long and impressive career.
