Jay Leno and Tim Allen have been close friends for many years, and it all began over their shared hobby. Leno is famous for having, like, a bajillion cars in his garage — okay, it's actually closer to 180, per Way.com. And Allen, who was a frequent guest on Leno's "The Tonight Show" in the 90s would often gab with Leno about models, makes, and engines. During one appearance, Leno and Allen were comparing notes about burning donuts (performing tight circles in a fast moving car), when the famous talk show host actually challenged the "Home Improvement" star to a burnout challenge right there. 30 years later, they were doing the exact same thing on "Jay Leno's Garage." 

They have a healthy rivalry, too. Allen often tweets subtle barbs at Leno, like this series of tweets in 2020, where he uses the power of photos to prove his car superiority. Despite a lot of the trash talk, the two truly have a bromance. When both appeared virtually via video-chat on "The Kelly Clarkson Show," they couldn't help but gush about each other. Allen called Leno a "a gentle, wonderful, listening actor," and Leno praised Allen's work ethic. "I mean, at one point he had the number one book, the number one movie, and the number one TV show all at the same time, which never ever happens!"
