    Too bad. I wanted to know why he wasn't made executive producer. It really seems like the writers or producers have that problem a lot with this show. They couldn't think of anything else to do with Willow but give us endless scenes of Marty losing jobs and Benny mooching off everyone. They had a hard time coming up with stuff for Jill to do. They dropped Judith and then give Wilson Willow who disappears, they break up Al and IIene and then give him nothing to do, they have three characters suddenly acting differently in season seven but never once think to tie it back to Fred's death, and they don't even think to give us Jill and Brad's graduation. 

    When Marty's twin girls came in, and the plots started focusing on Tim and Jill more and less of the boys, that’s when the show really started to go downhill.

    Here is the Notre Dame Leprechaun on Live With Regis and Kelly:

    And a statement from Notre Dame president Rev. John Jenkins:

    "Regis regaled millions on air through the years, often times sharing a passionate love for his alma mater with viewers." 

    "He will be remembered at Notre Dame for his unfailing support for the university and its mission, including the Philbin Studio Theater in our performing arts center."

    His personal reflections on why he liked Notre Dame:

    This is what Kelly Ripa had to say about the biggest lesson that she learned from Regis:

    Some trivia:

    . Tim Allen revealed on a talk show that he wanted the finale of the show to set up the reveal that Wilson was a ghost.

    . The producers once approached Hillary Clinton about guest starring on an episode of the show.

    . Ashley Judd was originally cast as the Tool Girl, which was supposed to be a much bigger role (a college student majoring in psychology who acted as a stand-in for Jill on the Tool Time set), but she pulled out only days before the pilot was shot.

    . Frances Fisher, then-girlfriend of Clint Eastwood, was originally cast as Jill and the pilot was filmed with her in the role. Frances was known as a dramatic actor and struggled with comedic acting and lacked chemistry with Tim Allen and the audience and would be replaced with Patricia Richardson.

    . The episode "The Longest Day", where it's believed Randy might have cancer, almost didn't air, as ABC felt cancer was too serious or controversial of a topic to feature in a sitcom.

    . Al was originally just a placeholder character for another named Glenn to be played by Stephen Tobolowsky. Tobolowsky was unavailable to shoot the pilot so Richard Karn was brought in as Al to be a fill in character. When Stephen Tobolowsky was still unavailable once the series was picked up Tim Allen urged the producers to keep Karn on as he liked the way they worked together. They agreed and Tobolowsky was let go and Karn was kept on permanently.

    . A very special episode about drunk driving was planned, but then Tim Allen got arrested for DUI and it was scrapped out of fear of being seen as hypocritical.
