Tim Allen is one of my all time favorites. What a great guy!

Great guy, never meddum.

Yessss AWESOME 👍 I really like Tim. Watch him on Tool Time (reruns) Every day 🤩

[@OtterloopB]

​@@lillianmunster4734 Which is still hilarious, even 30 years later. I could watch Home Improvement, Boy Meets World, Seinfeld and Family Matters endlessly.

we need more of the "Tim Allens" of the world.... Men are Men and Woman are Woman or even better Ladies...

Such a class act! Love him and all his work!

[@thomasmartinscott]

I met Tim at a car show in Ridgway, CO. I asked him "Which car is yours?" Without a seconds hesitation he said, "Which one do you like, we'll start a rumor".

[@readytogo3186]

Hilarious!

[@dalzy1969]

Love Ridgway! Wish I bought that property there twenty years ago!!

[@thomasmartinscott]

@@dalzy1969 I know what you mean. I lived in Ouray for 9 years and spent half of my time in Ridgway. I Loved it. Still do. One of my best friends is John Billings, who makes the Grammy Awards. He moved the whole operation from CA to Ridgway back in the '90s.

[@SideMoneyGarage]

We met him at SEMA 2018 in Vegas. He saw my husband holding a photo of our pink Fairlane and commented, "Cool car!"

[@Struzzylive]

Yeah but how do we know Tim didn’t write all this with a mcgiver approved tooth pic

Love Tim from his beginning!!! 👏💘

Great interview and love both Carson and Tim Allan.

I was waitng for him to grunt. 😆😂🤣

Tim is one of my all time favorites. This was a very long appearance for a first time guest.

[@a2ndopynyn]

Making up for lost time.

[@billmalone5050]

One of my favorite quotes from Tim Allen's comedy routine: "I've got tools that fix tools" !!!

[@ronrice2249]

I love watching Tim Allen. He has his own style of comedy. Very funny guy.

[@trm4life]

I didn't realize Carson was still around when Home Improvement started! Mind blown! 💥

[@gerry-p9x]

Home premiered 91. Carson left , May. 92

[@gilmanmurray6550]

Great video

[@suze816]

Hilarious ! I love Tim Allen - Always makes me laugh out loud. 😃

[@uppityglivestockian]

I became a big fan when Allen went on his Men Are Pigs comedy tour and he's never disappointed. He's also a pretty darn good actor, despite his self-deprecating jokes about it. One of the best movies everyone should own a DVD copy of is Galaxyquest. His turn as a James T Kirk-like space ship captain on tv is frikkin brilliant. Of course, his Buzz Lightyear is eternal and no amount of Disney fckn with the character to please their cultural marxist employees or their Karen-wives and their country club buddies is gonna replace it. Unlike most convicts who come out of prison exactly the same as how they went in, or worse, Mr Dick learned the right lessons from his incarceration and has been tickling our funny bone pretty much ever since. Big thanks for the upload, fantastic.

[@WarofThoughts]

Not only that, but he had the best cocaine. He had that fire.

[@craigbirchfield417]

Best Star Trek spoof of all time. I've probably watched it six times. Good times.

[@4Everlast]

100%. Also had #1 TV show, #1 film in box office and #1 best selling book all in the same week and month! Ridiculous. I wish we see more of him in film, he'd be an interesting villain.

[@nolabel7705]

12:49 "...save it for the next time. " Respect. Mr. Carson knew Mr. Allen was special back then!

[@dannmarceau]

Tim's a great actor, loved the show. Richard Karn "Al" and I grew up in the same area.

[@jasonjohnston94]

Tim Allen and Buddy Guy on the same night with Carson. Amazing!

[@lonewulf44]

Cool that Tim Allen made it on before Carson left ... it's like a special thing to say you managed to be one that got on Carson.

[@scottanddebranelson8419]

yeah man good stuff. i think i actually saw this show back in the day. i'd been out of the marine corps for less than six months and had started watchin tv again and of course really liked tim and his schtick so i'm pretty sure i watched this one that november. thanks for posting.

[@user-z6p4c]

yeah absolutely I’ve been married for 32years I was 22 and he was 26. he got cancer in 2020 I was totally lost without him. He took a major hit the treatment was horrible for him. I could not do nothing to change any thing so I felt helpless I miss Him everyday.. seeing this makes me miss him even more I come to this page all the time just to have that nostalgia

Looking forward to my yearly rewatch of the Santa Clause movies - always a good time (at least the first two XD).

[@scottmccloud9029]

Yeah, me too.

[@2RCPRODUCTIONS]

Tim Allen was fantastic in this! He is one comedian/actor that has been a part of my family entertainment for years and I never thought about it till now. Started watching home improvement when I was dating my Wife, then came marriage and kids then it was Buzz lightyear, then it was the Santa Clause series, then it was last man standing, now I love the fact the guy is a Christian conservative car guy! Can’t get any better than that!😂👍

[@BlueSkyCrystals]

Tim Allen was one of the biggest stars of the 90s. He had a top rated show and two film franchises.

Home Improvement is one of the only shows my family watched together as a child before they divorced. And the last that I saw with my Father before he passed. I wouldn't say it died, they had said enough. And chose to end it. This is still endearing and hilarious to me, it has a special place in my heart and fall asleep to it often. So great to see him in the beginning of everything

[@redacted2275]

Tim Allen looks almost the same! Then again, Johnny stopped aging some time in the 70s... great video.

[@leoking8353]

Really? I really think Johnny looks quite old here compared to a video from even 10 years before

There's no one else like Johnny Carson

[@hotrox2112]

"NO ONE"!....

[@rhondafortson5205]

Tim Allen is the perfect example in an era when a comedian could present intelligent humor & the audience could Actually understand it!! George Carlin PERFECT. I feel sorry for comedians today. They play to an audience who has NO sense of humor with a Less than adequate IQ.

[@alyssarand6615]

-IQ's now !

[@gregpek1624]

And he's a Republican!!!

[@ericynot]

There are still some funny, intelligent comedians working. Jump on a little Bill Burr. Burr hits on a lot of topics that could easily set off some people's political correctness meters (race, domestic abuse, "gold digging whores", LBGT, abortion, etc.), but he's self-deprecating and so damn funny he gets away with it -- AND he's able to slip in some razor-edged observations about sensitive subjects while he's at it.

[@CarlHammer]

A few years ago my brother was at Corvette Mike in West Covina, California when some guy drives in with a fully restored 1963 Vette sporting a HARRY MANN license plate. He got to talking & said "you look familiar", do I know you? NO. Did we go to school together? NO. Finally my brother asks "what's your name"? Tim Allen, he said. Wait, Santa clause Tim Allen? Tim just shook him head "YES" and walked away. Hahahaha...

[@mr.k2559]

OMGosh!! His line about shop teachers missing fingers was SOOO true. My grade 8 woodworking teacher was missing half of two fingers and he told us he lost them using a bandsaw when he was young. Don't know if was true but I was terrified using ANY power saw after that!

Talk about a guy who was able to turn his life around from being in prison to being a big star. What connects all these events is his humanity.

[@willy_b_coyote]

4:44 this is how you knew if Johnny Carson liked you or not: If he just clapped, he didn’t think you were funny. If he thought you were funny, he’d give the ok gesture.👌 And if he thought you were REALLY hilarious, he’d wave you over for an interview.

[@Bondek1996]

Tim the Tool Man Taylor "Back the truck up!"

[@kingscorpion7346]

I was already following Tim Allen a few years before he finally got his sit-com, and I'm surprised (and Johnny looked like he was surprised about it too) that this was Tim's first time on the Tonight Show.

[@jmjanousek]

He is so much funnier as a conversationalist comedian than a standup comedian.

[@asteverino8569]

Well, this was great!

Though at one time I thought Jay Leno was the greatest. When he took over the Tonight Show he lost much as he tried to be all things to all people. At least that's how I saw it. So after a few months I rarely watched Jay. I think Tim Allen would have made a very good host.
