Patricia Richardson, who starred as family matriarch Jill Taylor on the hit ABC sitcom Home Improvement, said she used the large pay gap between her and co-star Tim Allen to avoid continuing with the show.

Not tool time.Patricia Richardson, who played Tim Allen’s wife, Jill Taylor, on the ’90s sitcom “Home Improvement,” said she hasn’t been asked to appear on a potential reunion show — not that she would be interested should the opportunity arise.Richardson was responding to Allen, who played Tim Taylor on the hit ABC series, saying that the entire “Home Improvement” cast was on board for a reboot, according to Entertainment Weekly.“It was so weird, I would hear he was coming out publicly and saying this stuff about everyone was on board to do a ‘Home Improvement’ reunion, but he never asked me and he never asked [series co-star] Jonathan [Taylor Thomas],” Richardson said on an episode of the “Back to the Best” podcast.“I called Jonathan one day and said, ‘Has he asked you about this?’ He went, ‘No,'” she said of Thomas, who played her son Randy on the sitcom, which ran for eight top-rated seasons from 1991 to 1999.“So why is he saying everyone is on board when he hasn’t talked to you or me?” Richardson said about her conversation with Thomas — adding that she set the record straight about a “Home Improvement” reboot script circulating on the web in reference to her on-screen character, Jill.“I wrote a big thing on Twitter and said I’m not involved in any series with Jill and I’ve also never been asked to do another ‘Home Improvement’ reunion thing — but I would not want to,” she said on the podcast.Richardson did not mince words when referring to her former co-star Zachery Ty Bryan, who played her oldest son, Brad. Taran Noah Smith played the Taylors’ youngest son, Mark.“I mean, Zach is now a felon,” she said, alluding to Bryan’s arrest on charges related to domestic violence and driving under the influence.
