LOS ANGELES – Tim Allen is speaking out again about his role as the openly conservative Mike Baxter in FOX’s new hit sitcom “Last Man Standing" and the comparisons fans make between his character's political views and Allen's real-life persona. Me, personally — Tim Allen is nobody’s business, and really, who cares what I think,” he told Fox News earlier this month during a PaleyFest interview for "Last Man Standing" in Beverly Hills, Calif. My comedy has been the same since I’ve been doing it for 33 years and it’s about the ultimate political divide — [between] men and women. “The difference with now is just this is like an addiction of some sort. I’m alone on the stage by myself, I don’t owe anybody anything.” He continued: “I happen to be a sober guy for 22 years — I understand addiction and to me, that’s what this feels like. People have got that anger and that angst going and you’ve gotta stand back a little bit and we’re able to do that, and we’ve always been able to do that. “They write funny stuff, and everybody has learned a little bit about how to tweak it and give people a little zest here and there — but it’s all about the theater.” When pressed on whether anything is considered off-limits within the writer’s room, Allen offered up an interesting analogy in response. “I don’t know if I’ve said this — I took a debate class in college. You can’t debate whether God exists or not because the side that doesn’t agree will never agree. And this a story about a family.
