Home Improvement premiered back in 1991 and aired for eight seasons. While the show was canceled just before the 21st century, Allen told the Kelly Clarkson Show that people still resonate with “The Tool Man” Taylor. Mainly, fans will ask Allen to impersonate his character’s signature grunt.
“It’s ‘grunt for me!'” Allen joked during his interview.

Fans can take a peek at the anticipated doppelgänger episode in the show’s teaser. Characters Mike Baxter and Tim Taylor meet when Baxter’s wife, Vanessa, calls for a home repairman. In the clip, Allen also gives a wink to another former role when Baxter chooses to forgo shaving during the pandemic.
“I could play…Santa Claus,” Baxter says in the clip, which gives an obvious nod to Allen’s role in the Christmas franchise, The Santa Clause.
