JTT is no longer on "Home Improvement". His latest project is "I'll be Home for Christmas," I don't really know what its about, but it looks like he is turning into Santa Claus, which would be weird, since Tim Allen (his TV dad on Home Improvement) did the same thing in "The Santa Clause".
I guess we'll find out.

Well, after some extensive research, I have some news on JTT.
Showtime will premiere Jonathan's latest film project, Common Ground, on January 29th, 2000 at 8:00 PM ET/PT. Common Ground will again be shown on January 31, 2000 at 10:00 PM ET/PT.

NO, I'M NOT: Despite such recent roles as a gay teen and a bisexual hustler, former Home Improvement star Jonathan Taylor Thomas insists rumors that he's gay are not true. "It was just a blatant lie put on the Internet, and then it was just a feeding frenzy," he tells The Advocate. "And I'm sure it was validated by my recent roles. What startled me was how willingly people accepted it." C'mon JTT, you've been in the business a while, people will believe anything.
"The Longest Day". That was the episode with the cancer scare. It was the second highest rated episode since 1991. So I think that says alot about our fans.
Did JTT get letters from children that were ill after the eposide aired?
He talked to alot of sick kids who said they could relate to that episode.
Did he enjoy filming Wild America?
He got to see Georgia and Canada. In his opinion
"It was great"
Just so you know: Wild America which also stars Scot Bairstow and Devon Sawa as JTT's older brothers, comes out next march.
