Jim Gaffigan is in a very rare club within the comedy community: He makes people laugh, and he does it without ever relying on vulgarity, or gross images in his act. Jim's talent is observational comedy at its best. Shine on, Jimmy! 🤩

Legend of clean comedy.

He wasn't 100% clean back then, I remember his non-TV standup shows in the early 2000s used to have a handful of F-bombs in them, but I think he realized the material was just as good without them.

Jim Gaffigan use to look like Ed Begley Jr. Now he looks like Philip Seymour Hoffman.

He's so uniquely funny! 😂

I used my vacation time to get a neccerary operation. When the hospitality cart came around, I bought a post card with the picture of the hospital. I wrote, "Having a great time. Wish you were here. The veil is great, but the food is lousy." and sent it to where I worked. It was on the bulletin board when I returned.

2 decades have passed😳...good times man🥲

When my doctor tells me to lose weight, I just tell him I have a layer of blubber to keep me warm in the ocean.

"Some people SHOULD be fat." -Jim Gaffigan

I think why I gravitate to Jim is purely because he has a baseline for his comedy which is “fat” but he’s so varied in the rest of his acts that I never feel like I’m listening to the same thing twice and that alone is incredibly skilled to curate!

Best comedian ever

I remember seeing this with my mom years ago on a Friday night and I've been a huge fan ever since.
