Allen and Karn notably played Tim Taylor and Al Borland on ABC's iconic 'Home Improvement' for eight seasons.
Home Improvement fans have a reason to rejoice today. The History Channel announced a new show hosted by two of the former stars of the fan-favorite sitcom. On June 29, the channel will begin airing More Power, a show on the history of tools, hosted by Tim Allen and Richard Karn.
In the sitcom, Home Improvement, Allen’s character hosted a show-within-a-show with Karn playing the co-host. The fictional “Tool Time” saw the pair discussing a variety of power tools, much like this new series from the History Channel. More Power will be a 10-episode nonfiction series that will explore the history and evolution of different tools. The series will be hosted from Allen’s personal workshop with him being joined by Karn and Youtuber April Wilkerson. Each episode of More Power will focus on a different tool as the three hosts put them to the test.
Allen and Karn starred together for eight seasons and over two hundred episodes of Home Improvement. Additionally, Allen is known for his extensive stand-up career, voicing Buzz Lightyear in the Toy Story series, The Santa Clause trilogy, and his recent sitcom Last Man Standing. Karn recently co-starred in the Hulu series Pen15. He also hosted the game show Family Feud from 2002 to 2006, and guest-starred on Last Man Standing in 2013. Wilkerson’s YouTube channel, which holds over two hundred million views, sees the star tackling different DYI projects. The trio of hosts also previously all worked together on another History Channel series, Assembly Required, a game show that pitted home repair experts against each other to rebuild and reinvent everyday items.

This’ll be fun! Great idea by the History Channel!
Darn! I missed the first episode! I saw the promo, it looks really good.
What's wrong with this picture?
Beard switch?
The new "Heidi"; April.
Hmm. I’ll have to think about that. :)>
I know it was just a sitcom, but Tim Allen always bugged me. He wore a tie while working around power equipment. A Darwin award candidate waiting to happen.
yup
Won’t be the same without Wilson Wilson.🤔
Saw the first two episodes yesterday. Just OK, not a Tim Taylor grunt to be heard. Here is a great scene from Last Man Standing.

Tim Allen’s standup shows are hillarious, they should still be on YouTube.
Agreed. It was lower energy than I expected but the engineering stuff was pretty neat. Tim is showing his age for sure.
HC, we'll see.
