Actor Tim Allen and comedian Bill Maher dismissed the focus on DEI practices during a conversation on "Club Random," and argued that sitcoms have "just got to be funny."

Tim Allen knows exactly why his marriage to Jane Hajduk has lasted nearly 20 years.

During an interview with Us Weekly, Allen opened up about the struggles he endured in his near two-decade-long marriage.

"I think a sense of humor saves us so many times," he said.

"We both struggle with golf, and [we were talking about how their daughter] Elizabeth will be a senior next year, and we’re going, 'What’s that going to be like?' and then Jane sat in the golf cart and said something really funny," Allen continued.

"We’re very different people. She’s a very good athlete and got me involved in training, and she’s a staunch Catholic, and I joined her with that," Allen said.

"I think a sense of humor saves us so many times."

"I’m not a Catholic, I don’t belong, so I don’t have to obey the rules, but I think she admires that I made that move. We both pull a bit on either side. We’re pretty good buddies," he added.
