Kat Dennings said stepping onto the set with Tim Allen and the cast to make the new ABC sitcom Shifting Gears “was like a ’90s Mount Rushmore.” The show also stars Seann William Scott, who played Stifler in 1999’s American Pie, and Daryl “Chill” Mitchell, who played English teacher Mr. Morgan in 1999’s 10 Things I Hate About You.

Tim Allen and Kat Dennings are both network sitcom royalty - he from "Home Improvement," she from the surprisingly long-lasting "2 Broke Girls." (It's hardly a classic, but that show made it to 138 episodes.

His estranged daughter, Riley (Dennings), winds up moving back in with her kids. While Matt and Riley may not be close on the show (yet), Allen told TV Insider about his connection to Dennings IRL, and it’s honestly pretty crazy: Kat’s so freaking talented.

Shifting Gears' stars Tim Allen, Kat Dennings talk on set fun and fab cars. The new sitcom premieres Wednesday at 8p|7c on ABC.
