Episode Synopsis:
When Tool Time’s ratings show that Al’s likability is off the charts with viewers, Tim is uncharacteristically supportive and offers to become Al’s manager. Tim books a number of sponsorship and pitchman gigs for Al, but grows concerned when Al hires a sleazy talent agent who begins trying to promote him as an actor. Al chokes while filming a scene with Morgan Fairchild for a made for TV movie and his agent ditches him - but Tim provides moral support and reminds Al why people like him so much in the first place.
