HOME IMPROVEMENT Stars Tim Allen and Richard Karn Reuniting For ASSEMBLY REQUIRED at History

Home Improvement stars Tim Allen and Richard Karn are teaming back up for an unscripted building competition series for the History Channel titled Assembly Required. Allen will star in the 10-episode series and Karn will be the host.

Assembly Required is described as “a competition series which is sounding the call for those with a can-do attitude to take back their sense of purpose and awaken their inner builder.”

The purpose of it is to feature the “best and brightest builders from across the country, at their home workshops, as they compete to breathe new life into everyday household items in desperate need of fixing. In each episode, Allen and Karn will also dive into the unique history around these items to celebrate the men and women who crafted them.”

Allen said in a statement:

“Let’s face it, we’re living in a throwaway society. We buy, break, replace… rinse and repeat. Whatever happened to repair and rebuild?!  There are some people who unfriend, unfollow and dispose of anything that offends, annoys or breaks – so I’ve created a show to remind people of the satisfaction and pride that comes from rebuilding something on their own.  And who better to join me than my buddy from the old Tool Time days – Richard Karn! Now we’re talking More Power!  Albert Einstein once said, ‘I’m not a genius, I’m just passionately curious.’ Well, let’s get curious! Even a chimpanzee would at least show interest, right? Wait – I think I just came up with another idea for the show!  R-R-R!”

Eli Lehrer, executive vice president and general manager of History added:

“Our history is defined by the innovations of ordinary dreamers creating extraordinary things, from Thomas Edison’s light bulb to the Wright brothers’ first flight. We look forward to partnering with Tim and Richard, America’s beloved duo, as they challenge a new wave of skilled individuals to think out-of-the-box to build upon the innovations of those before them. We hope this series will inspire viewers to think twice about throwing out that old item, roll up their sleeves and rebuild it better.”

The show is slated to launch on History sometime in 2021 and I’ll be looking forward to watching it. I like these kinds of shows and the fact that Allen and Karn are reuniting for this kind of series is the icing on the cake.
