"As the future star charmed a judge throughout the ordeal, he told (Tim) Allen that he expected him to 'be a very successful comedian.' Fortunately in the comedy world, being a snitch isn’t a dealbreaker....
'When I went to jail, reality hit so hard that it took my breath away, took my stance away, took my strength away,' Allen later told Esquire.
'I was put in a holding cell with twenty other guys — we had to crap in the same crapper in the middle of the room — and I just told myself, I can’t do this for seven and a half years. I want to kill myself.'
Amazingly, that’s when the comic in him began to grow. Before long, he was able to make some of the toughest prisoners and even guards laugh.
