The moment was actually after our first show.
Last man standing cast changes movie#
My favorite Christmas movie of all time is The Santa Clause, so there was an odd thing I had to get past once I started working with him. Intimidating is the exact word that I would use for coming into this experience altogether, not only because it was an established family for six seasons but also because Tim Allen has been such a massive part of my entire life. What has your experience been working opposite him on the show? You’re playing one of Tim Allen’s daughters. We have a lot of fun playing with that and bringing the audience into our playtime. There’s even a moment in the first episode when Tim looks straight into the camera. With a sitcom, it enables us to wink-wink at the audience.
Last man standing cast changes license#
Like it gives the audience license to laugh about the change and move on… It seems more like a friendly approach than just pushing the storyline into people’s faces and making them accept it. If we’re all making fun of it and making light of it, we hope the audience can play with us too. In terms of Mandy looking different, we wanted it to be more of an obvious thing. There’s a lot about poking fun at the show getting canceled and moving to another network. Thank you to the fans because that is the entire reason why the show is back the way that it is.

There were so many ways that the show wanted to connect, especially for the first episode back, which was such a massive thing. If there’s any type of show that can get away with poking fun at things in such an obvious way is a sitcom. In the first episode, Last Man Standing pokes fun at the “new Mandy.” One of the jokes is, “She’s been lost upstairs all this time,” and it takes everyone the whole episode to notice that she’s “taller” and “blonder.” What was your take on how they dealt with your introduction? I think her view on the world is through rose-tinted glasses and she’s very excited to take on any new chapters of this business and any new chapter in her life as an adult. She’s very motivated when it comes to her fashion business and she’s very much in love with her husband, Kyle. But Mandy’s very bubbly, excited to be around people. We’re in the middle of working on episode six right now, so we’re still discovering my Mandy.
