Dealing with Tim Allen on a segment of his Disney+ comedy “The Santa Clauses” was “the truly single worst experience I’ve ever had with a co-star ever,” Casey Wilson claimed on an earlier episode of her podcast “Bitch Sesh.” The show’s inaugural episode aired in November 2022, and Wilson—best recognized for her work on “Saturday Night Live” and “Happy Endings”—guest featured in it. The second season of “The Santa Clauses,” which debuted onDisney+ lately, is a follow-up to Allen’s trilogy of flicks, “The Santa Clause” (1994), “The Santa Clause 2” (2002), and “The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause” (2006).
“Tim Allen was such a bitch.” The executive producer on the TV series is “a great friend” of Wilson’s, and her children “loved the movies,” so she decided to “bury this” event till recently. “It was the truly single worst experience I’ve ever had with a co-star ever,” Wilson remarked.“So I’m in a scene. It’s just me and Tim Allen and I’m supposed to throw things at him,” Wilson recalled her experience. “I think he’s a burglar. So he’s coming down the chimney, obviously as Santa, and I am woken up thinking there’s an intruder, basically like a home invasion scene. So I’m throwing things at him. [He] goes over to the producer who is standing four feet from me and goes, and I hear him, he goes, ‘You gotta tell her to stop stepping on my lines.’ The producer turns to me with horror on his face and has to walk one foot to me and he goes, ‘Um, Tim would ask that you stop stepping on his lines.’”
On Allen’s set, Wilson claimed that ” everybody was walking on eggshells” and that “people just looked frantic.” “When he was done, he was so fucking rude,” she continued. “Never made eye contact, never said anything. It was so uncomfortable.” Wilson claimed Allen left the set right after without telling any of the crew or his fellow actors after he completed filming a close-up shot which obstructed her.
“It’s the end, and Tim Allen goes, ‘Leaving!,’ takes his Santa cape, picks it up and drops it on the floor and walks out,” Wilson stated furthermore. “And they hustle in his stand-in; lovely man, who was much nicer to act against. People are scurrying to pick up his velvet Santa coat. He’s a bitch. And this is the best… I will not say who said this. This was someone that I do not know, perhaps in the crew. [He or she] breezes past me and just goes, ‘You’re seeing him on a good day.‘”
