Funny Actor Loves His Toys

[Blind Gossip] We recently told you about a famous male comedian who has been hiding a secret his entire career.

We have another one for you!

This man is best known as a comic actor.

Like many comic actors, he did the standup comedy club circuit and guested on late-night TV shows before making the transition to TV and movies.

We are not talking about a second banana here. Our actor is a movie star and a TV star.

While he is not physically huge, our actor is definitely a man’s man. He’s the kind of guy who would come over to your home, fix your leaky faucet and then hang out with you for a couple of beers.

And while he doesn’t have the wide range of characters that some comics do, his relatable demeanor and observational comedy have made him very successful and very rich.

He loves using that money to buy the usual rich man toys. He also apparently likes to dabble in real estate.

Approximately twenty years ago our actor was shopping for a condo in a major city.

He was especially interested in a large unit on the top floor of a luxury building.

However, there was one other party – who was a little late arriving – whose approval he needed on the unit before closing the deal.

While the real estate agent was showing our actor the property, they had to buzz up the other party.

Who was the other party?

His agent? No.

His business manager? No.

His assistant? No.

It was someone who was actually going to be living in the luxury condo with our actor.

Fortunately for our actor, the other party loved the unit and told him that they would be very happy living there.

Our star closed on the luxury condo.

That’s almost the end of our story.

Except… who was the mystery party?

Well, our star is married. But the other party wasn’t his wife.

It was his very cute, much younger boy toy.

Our actor certainly love his toys!

    Tim Allen fits the clues best. So I do not think that this is Billy Crystal, but I want to inform anyone who doesn’t think of Billy Crystal as a TV star that he starred in the TV show “Soap” (as one of the first openly gay characters portrayed on US television) and was a regular cast member on “Saturday Night Live” (before it was known mainly as “SNL”) long before starring in movies or hosting the Oscars.

  3. OhYeah says

    Lol to all the Jerry Seinfeld guesses. 😂 I love Jerry, but he’s no one’s definition of a “man’s man” & I certainly don’t see him fixing his own sink, much less anyone else’s. He also isn’t known for doing movies. Most comedians in the 80s-90s did situational routines, not just Seinfeld.

    It sounds so much like Tim Allen, but wow what a surprise that would be!

  4. Conchord says

    Probably not: Kevin Hart (his success is more recent; he would not have shopping for a luxury condo 20 years ago), Jerry Seinfeld (not a movie star), Steve Carell (didn’t do standup), Billy Crystal (not what I would call a TV star, save for hosting the Oscars, doesn’t seem really manly in the traditional sense).

    Tim Allen seems like the best guess.

    Tim Allen. Clue: come over to your home, fix your leaky faucet and then hang out with you for a couple of beers (“Home Improvement”).

  18. aaaJoe says

    Star: Tim Allen

    Clues: “come over to your home, fix your leaky faucet” (Home Improvement), all the “toys” and “almost the end of our story” (Toy Story)

    Your favorite movie or TV show of his: Galaxy Quest

  21. aaaKidd says

    Tim Allen. Fixing leaky faucets = Home Improvement. The similar clue is a baby in Santa hat. The Santa Clause might be the only movie of his I like. It also may be the only movie of his I’ve ever seen.

  24. Jimster says

    Tim Allen.
    Clues are: fixing stuff – his show Home Improvement, toys – all his Christmas movies, and buzz – he voiced Buzz Lightyear.

    Star: Tim Allen
    Gotta admit, this one took me by surprise!
    Clues: “Man toys”, “Boy toy”, “buzz up the other party”, “loves his toys”- he’s Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story.
    Being a man’s man, fixing your leaky faucet- Home Improvement, which made him very rich.
    Favorite movie/TV show- Toy Story. All of them except Toy Story 2.

  27. jonty30 says

    I’m guessing Billy Crystal.
    Small comedian. Started in the comedy circuits. Popular in the 80’s and 90’s.

    Tim Allen

    Clues – toys, he stars in toy story, he’s known for observational comedy, tv and movies, not physically huge – he’s not really tall. Kind a guy to fix a leaky faucet , his tv show home improvement he starred as Tim the tool man Taylor.

  35. Canadianna says

    I’ll go with Tim Allen.

    Clues–fix faucet–Tim ‘The Toolman” Taylor character, buzz and toys–Toy Story Movie, beer–his character on “Last Man Standing” likes drinking beer.

    He doesn’t have a wide range of characters–he seems to play the same character over and over.

    And he is definitely rich.

    Loved him in the Toy Story movies

  42. kavanah says

    The clues

    Banana = grunt

    Not a big build but a man’s man, Fix the faucet, and beers = tv show

    Toys = big movie 1, 2, 3, and 4 sequels

    I can’t say it. I just can’t type the name. It just can’t be,… no way… tell me to believe in Santa Clause… but not this actor/comedian. 😔

  45. savantrix says

    Star: Tim Allen
    Clues: “loves his toys” and “buzz up the other party”—starred in Toy Story as Buzz Lightyear, “mans man”—started as Tim “The Toolman” Taylor on Home Improvement

    I grew up watching Home Improvement, so that’s my default fav work of his

  46. angelbratt says

    Jerry Seinfeld

    Clues, “observational”. Comedy. And he likes his toys-dozens of expensive automobiles.

    Optional: clues also fit jay leno

  47. fancypants16 says

    Tim Allen
    mans/man, fix faucet, drink beers – Home Improvement
    “buzz” up the boy toy – Buzz Lightyear

  48. JToma16 says

    I’m getting Tim Allenish vibes for the clues, but I’ve never picked up on any other “vibes” in any of his appearances or work. 🤷🏻‍♀️

  50. Chi83 says

    All clues point to Tim Allen. Home Improvement, Buzz for Buzz Lightyear, toys for Toy Story. Wow. Well, hey, as long as he is happy what do I care?

  56. llabine1 says

    Kevin Hart
    Not physically huge….
    Doesn’t have a large range of characters ….,he play the same character over and over…
    Just a guess…..

  59. mangolala says

    Tim Allen
    Fix your leaky faucet= Home Improvement tv show
    Boy toy/ end of story = Toy Story
    Buzz up the other party= Allen’s character Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story

  60. silence1534 says

    Tim Allen

    “Buzz” as in Buzz Lightyear, he started as a stand-up comic then moved to TV and movies.

  62. churchlady says

    This has got to be Tim Allen. A manly man who can fix things relates to his “Men Are Pigs” stand-up routines and the TV show Home Improvement. He likes his toys = Toy Story, plus the fact that he collects muscle cars and hot rods

  64. Carnac The Magnificent says

    Star: Tim Allen
    Clues: ‘Man’s man’ (his comic persona), fix the leaky faucet (Tool Time), ‘loves his toys’ (Toy Story movies)

    That one would be a big surprise for me. Didn’t see that one coming at all.

  65. catlady says

    Tim Allen.
    That was an accurate description of his career (minus the jail time) The references to fixing a leaky faucet are because of his time on Home Improvement.
    All the ‘toy’ references are because of his role on Toy Story. As is the ‘buzz him in’ bit – he played Buzz Lightyear.

  66. blubelle says

    Star: Tim Allen

    Clue: “He’s the kind of guy who would come over to your home, fix your leaky faucet and then hang out with you for a couple of beers”. Home Improvement

    Huh… this is a surprise.

  68. joheinous says

    Tim Allen—Fix it, and hang out “Home Improvement”. Loves his toys “Toy Story”. Man’s Man “Last Man Standing,”
    My favorite is his movie “Galaxy Quest”

  69. princesspea says

    for some reason, steve carrell comes to mind. the toys reference could be a nod to his characters toy collection in 40 year old virgin
