Jay Leno’s fan-favorite “Last Man Standing” character, Joe, receives an interesting proposition from his boss, Mike Baxter (Tim Allen), on Thursday’s episode of the Fox sitcom. But Joe isn’t so sure he wants to buy what Mike is selling. Well, technically he’s not so sure he wants to buy the car that some other guy is selling, even though Mike desperately wants him to.
In TheWrap’s exclusive clip from this week’s “Last Man Standing,” Mike calls Joe into his office and says he wants to take him to lunch. Joe immediately knows something is up, seeing as the two have never had lunch together because Mike “hates” watching Joe chew.

Joe immediately wonders why, to which Mike replies, “Because you have the money, you have the space to...

The Ledge producer Michael Mailer has teamed with Hank Blumenthal to produce an inspired-by-true-events period drama, The Walk, with Daniel Adams attached to direct from a script he co-wrote with George Powell. The screenplay was originated by Powell, a former drug dealer whom Adams discovered while he was incarcerated. Upon his release, Powell turned to screenwriting and The Walk will mark his first produced script.

Mailer, Blumenthal and Adams are longtime collaborators having worked together on various films throughout the past 30 years starting with the Sandra Bullock starre,...
