Al was engaged to an orthodontist named Ilene for a time, but they ended up calling off the wedding. Al might have been based on Norm Abram of This Old House because of the resemblance (flannel shirts, beard, portly, etc.) and the fact that Al does all the "real work" on the Tool Time show . Though ultimately good friends, there was a tense relationship between Tim and Al.
Although Tim is the one who messes up most of the projects on Tool Time, Al is often the one who is blamed for the mishap, or is injured by the mishap. On rare occasions Al would cause a mishap of his own, but these were more due to overcalculating than Tim's attitude of "more power". Despite this, Tim and Al are good friends offstage, and Al often helps out, either by helping with home projects, or by watching his children. Al has a big brother named Cal who is a physicist, and unlike most male siblings, they had never gotten into a physical fight.
Debbe Dunning: Now
His personality is an exact opposite of Tim's – he is reserved, quiet, does not show much enthusiasm and has a wide array of professional knowledge concerning tools. Al made frequent suggestions that he should be the host of Tool Time instead of Tim. Al does not make as much money as Tim; in fact it is implied that his salary is not very big at all. In the episode, "Brothers and Sisters", Al says that he gets a very small paycheck. In the episode, "Fifth Anniversary", it is revealed that a big reason why Al was chosen to be Tim's assistant was because Al was the only assistant applicant that was willing to work for the salary that was offered. Randy is generally the most level-headed son in the family, although because he is an intelligent boy, he was also prone to arrogance, jealousy, cynicism, and sometimes a little prejudice.
Tim, who is apparently not as intelligent as his wife Jill, has trouble understanding what Wilson tells him but eventually manages to figure it out on his own. However, he tends to mix up the words when trying to repeat Wilson's quotes, always to humorous effect. Tim, or any of the other Taylors, have a crisis ending conversation with Wilson in nearly every episode, even when traveling considerable distances.
Taran Noah Smith gave up acting entirely after Home Improvement
Most of his time is spent in his garage, working with his large collection of tools on his hot rod. It would be easy forget that Debbe Dunning’s Heidi was not the only Tool Girl on Tool Time. That position was previously filled by Lisa, the breakout TV role of Pamela Anderson, for the first two seasons of Home Improvement. Outside of acting, Anderson is also well known for her turbulent personal life. She was married to rocker Tommy Lee from 1995 to 1998 and the pair had two children, Brandon and Dylan, in 1996 and 1997, respectively. She married Rick Salomon in 2007 but they had their marriage annulled the following year.
He hosts his own television program, Tool Time, in which he, his male assistant Al Borland and his female assistant Lisa and then later Heidi teach audiences about home improvement. Before becoming the host of Tool Time, Tim was a traveling parts salesman for Binford Tools. While Tim considers himself to be the star of the show and is a celebrity in Detroit, Al eventually becomes the more popular one with the viewers. Tim's rival is real-life home improvement specialist Bob Vila, who made a few guest appearances on the show.
Tim Allen: Now
She will also make an appearance in next year's big screenBaywatch movie. Patricia Richardson, who famously played Tim's wife, Jill, on Home Improvement, is still acting. In most recent years, she has guest-starred on television shows such as Blindspot, NCIS, The Blacklist, and Grey's Anatomy.
Zachery Ty Bryan is still acting, despite getting into legal trouble recently. His latest work was on the series The Guardians of Justice (Will Save You!) in the role of Mike. He was arrested in October 2020 for allegedly strangling his girlfriend at the time. He received three years of probation after pleading guilty to fourth-degree assault. The actor is currently expecting twins with his fiancée, Johnnie Faye. He has four children from his previous marriage to his high school sweetheart.
It is mentioned that Tim still works with tools like he used to but that he did not want to do his show Tool Time any more and that his neighbor Wilson died. Tim is occasionally chauvinistic in attitude, usually putting women down or sometimes seeing them as inferior . A running gag is that every time Tim says something sexist on Tool Time, Al holds up a sign displaying the show's mailing address for the women to send in their complaints.
Rick is a lumberjack, while John is a United States Marine Sergeant. Tim has strained relationships with most of his brothers due to his constant teasing and overall know-it-all attitude. In order from oldest to youngest is Jeff, Tim, Brian, Steve, John, Rick, Danny, and Marty. His father, Michael Taylor, died when Tim was only 11 years old (the same way Allen's father died in real life, colliding with a drunk driver) which had a profound impact on Tim's life. His mother, Lucille Taylor, is seen mostly in Christmas episodes and various others. She will next be in the drama Barely Afloat with Henry Thomas and Corbin Bernsen, and is producing a documentary about health and environmental concerns surrounding a Tennessee nuclear fuel plant called Acceptable Limits.
Next, Al went on one date with Tim's ex-girlfriend Stacey Lewis, but had no interest in seeing her again. From seasons three through five, Al went out with Dr. Ilene Markham, an orthodontist and the sister of one of Jill's co-workers. Al then met a woman named Trudy in season seven and married her in the finale episode in 1999. Tim often boasts of his popularity for hosting the show, although many people state that they like Al better.
The show revolved around Tim Taylor and his family -- wife Jill, and sons Brad, Randy, and Mark -- their lives in suburban Detroit, Michigan, and Tim's show-within-a-show, Tool Time. In 2002, she was living with her boyfriend at the time, retired psychologist Mark Cline, according to PEOPLE. Common recurring jokes throughout the series include Al's beard, his love of bingo, his greater popularity over Tim among Tool Time fans, and his fanatic admiration of fellow home improvement television host Bob Vila. Throughout much of the series, Al often has bad luck with women despite, or possibly because of, his emotional sensitivity, which far exceeds Tim's. Tim also often pokes fun at Al's mother, Alma Borland, who is never seen but is apparently severely overweight.
From their movies and TV shows since Home Improvement to their personal lives, HollywoodLife has the latest on what the cast is up to these days. Karen – a feminist friend of Jill who clashes with Tim over male-female dynamics in relationships. The character moved to California after Season 2, as Randle started her role of Amy Matthews on Boy Meets World, another ABC sitcom.
In addition to being known for playing Al Borland, Karn is also recognized as the fourth host of Family Feud, a job he took on from 2002 to 2006. Karn has starred in dozens of TV shows and movies, including That '70s Show, Ctrl, The Bold and the Beautiful and PEN15. As he voiced Buzz Lightyear in every Toy Story film, he led the Santa Clause film trilogy and starred in hit movies including Galaxy Quest, Christmas with the Kranks, Wild Hogs and Ralph Breaks the Internet. On the TV front, he returned to the sitcom world in 2017, leading and executive producing Last Man Standing. Allen was married to Laura Deibel from 1984 to 2003 and the pair share one daughter, Katherine, who was born in 1989.
