Reunited and it feels… like the ’90s all over again.

Tim Allen’s former "Home Improvement" sidekick Richard Karn is set to appear in an episode of Allen’s current ABC sitcom "Last Man Standing", TVLine has learned exclusively.



Karn will play Bill, a gruff good old boy and the Outdoor Man’s original architect. He is dumbfounded when he learns he may be losing the account to a young, gorgeous woman — who he assumes got the job because of her good looks.

The episode is slated to air in early 2013.

Keck's Exclusives First Look: A "Home Improvement" Reunion on "Last Man Standing"
Dec 17, 2012

When ABC decided it was time for "Last Man Standing" to stage something of a "Home Improvement" reunion for its January 11 episode, Tim Allen reached out to pal and former costar Richard Karn, who played Tool Time sidekick Al.

In the storyline, Allen's Mike Baxter hires an architect and must choose between his longtime colleague, Bill (Karn), and an attractive woman. (Tool Time girl Debbe Dunning was considered for the role, but Allen ultimately deemed her casting too "stunty.")

There will be a few nods to "Home Improvement", Karn reveals, including "a wonderful moment where I tell Tim's character, 'Say hi to your wife and three boys,' and he says, 'Actually, it's three girls.'"





During Karn's week on set, he was surprised to see "Home Improvement's" Jonathan Taylor Thomas, an aspiring filmmaker, shadowing the show's director. While JTT has taken a break from acting, Allen hopes he'll guest star soon.

But you won't see Patricia Richardson. "Richard and JTT fit," Allen says. "But it would be weird to bring the old wife in with the new wife."
