After ABC’s success with “Roseanne,” which features a pro-Trump character, calls for the network to bring back “Last Man Standing” were revived. “We tried to move ‘Last Man Standing’ over last year when ABC decided not to move forward. “[Last Man Standing] drew 8.5 million viewers every Friday night with very little promotion.

However, he didn’t believe the lasting success behind “Last Man Standing” was solely based on Baxter’s conservative values.
