Shifting Gears star Tim Allen found a way to poke fun at his time behind bars. During the Monday, October 27, episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, Allen, 72, spoke about his support for the troops. "I love helping our vets and I love anything I can do," he said before joking, "I should have gone into the military rather than prison." Allen continued: "I had a choice and prison is the way I went. It is the same sort of thing. Food is kind of weird and you have to wear a uniform.
