‘Last Man Standing’ Sneak Peek: Mike Gets Sneaky With Kristin’s Gender Reveal (VIDEO)
Last Man Standing is tackling one of today’s most popular celebration formats — a gender reveal party.
At the helm is Baxter family patriarch Mike (Tim Allen), who was put in charge by daughter Kristin (Amanda Fuller) to orchestrate the event. In an exclusive clip from the episode, Mike seems thrilled with the duty assigned to him, despite his usual disinterest in such things.
What has him so giddy, you ask? Well, it’s the fact that he’d know the baby’s gender before anyone else, edging out his wife Vanessa (Nancy Travis) for the honor. “Kristen asked me to put on the gender reveal party,” Mike tells exchange student Jen (Krista Marie Yu). “It’s gonna make my beautiful, lovely wife go stark-raving mad.”
But is Mike’s assumption right? When Vanessa eventually enters the scene, he updates her on the circumstances, but she seems to care less about Mike’s role in the party.
