Karn shares the incredible story of how he landed the role of Al Borland, why he wasn’t the original choice for Home Improvement, and how one life-changing year brought both the start of the iconic show and the birth of his son. He also reflects on hosting Family Feud, how fans recognize him today, and how sitcom production has changed from the classic network TV era to today’s streaming and short-form content world. Plus, Karn discusses the rumors of a possible Home Improvement reboot, his admiration for Joe Namath, his love of golf, and his thoughts on NIL, the transfer portal, and how college sports have become more transactional than ever.
