“Last Man Standing” Shockwave! Star Unleashes a BOMBSHELL Revelation

Last Man Standing Star Has “No Doubt” Tim Allen Will Recruit More LMS Stars For Shifting Gears

Last Man Standing star Nancy Travis thinks that Tim Allen will recruit more stars for Shifting Gears. Last Man Standing was a sitcom led by Travis and Allen, who played a married couple. The series originally ran nine seasons from 2011 to 2021. This year, Allen takes on a new comedy by playing a widower and car workshop owner named Matt whose life is transformed when his estranged daughter and her teenage children arrive at his house. In addition to Allen, Shifting Gears features a leading cast including Kat Dennings, Seann William Scott, Daryl Mitchell, and Maxwell Simkins.

Speaking with Us Weekly, Travis speaks on whether more Last Man Standing actors will appear on Shifting Gears. Travis gives a simple “of course” in response, and pointed out that “most of the crew was from Last Man Standing.” She even goes so far as to say that she “wouldn’t be surprised if everybody from Last Man Standing shows up on Shifting Gears in one way or another.” She also believes this is what Allen would most want for his show. Check out the full quote from Travis below:

Oh, of course. I have no doubt [about that]. Tim is nothing if not loyal. So it was great to walk on that set and see most of the crew was from Last Man Standing. The director John Pasquin did so many episodes of Last Man Standing and is a personal friend. It was just so great to feel this sense of reunion.

I wouldn’t be surprised if everybody from Last Man Standing shows up on Shifting Gears in one way or another yubi. If Tim has his way, he’ll make sure that everybody from [costar Kat Dennings‘] 2 Broke Girls comes on too.

What This Means For Shifting Gears

Last Man Standing Has A Lot Of Actors To Choose From

After playing Allen’s on-screen wife for years on Last Man Standing, Travis recently appeared in Shifting Gears season 1, episode 6, “Valentines.” There, she played the role of Charlotte, a widow who Matt meets. Though they were not playing a married couple this time around, it was sweet to see the stars come together again after acting opposite each other for years. It also likely helped draw in fans from the previous show, given the network TV crossover.

Last Man Standing gave star Tim Allen the chance to reunite with some of his Home Improvement co-stars and here’s every actor who guested on the show.

What Travis is suggesting would be even more exciting for longer-term fans of Allen’s work, for she thinks it would be fitting for Shifting Gears season 2 to bring in even more cast members from the previous show. Two of the original three daughters in Last Man Standing, Mandy and Kristin, changed actors over the course of the seasons, giving more potential stars to pick for cameos. Last Man Standing‘s youngest daughter, Eve, was played by Kaitlyn Dever, who is a much better-known star now than she was when the show began, making her appearance less likely.

Our Take On These Potential Shifting Gears Cameos

The Cameos Could Help Attract Fans To The Poorly Reviewed Show

Shifting Gears has gotten mixed reviews so far, so more cameos could either help or hurt the show. Screen Rant‘s Ana Dumaraog gave the show 5 out of 10 stars, noting that “Shifting Gears is also stuck narratively” and that “its success is directly tied to how much the audience loves the actor and the role he is known for.” By casting more Last Man Standing actors, Shifting Gears could lean into such criticism and rely on fans of past series to keep the lackluster show alive.
