    James (as he was called) was my classmate in the 90's in a monologue class. We hung out and used to spend time in diners in Manhattan (Moonstruck Diner was the dig) talking about show biz and acting and stuff. I remember when he was drilling away at his comedy performances and auidtioning for commericalss all the time.. He is an example of those who work their ass off to keep sticking at something until it finally pays off. I'm of the example of those who found it difficult to get out their comfort zone. Hence I didn't succeed. He did becuause he constantly put himself out of his comfort zone and was focused and determined.

    Listening to what Jim Gaffigan had to say about greatness, I thought of all the unsung heroes who are committed to comforting others, whether they be loving parents looking after children, loving caregivers looking after strangers or animals in distress...so many greats out there whose loving sacrifice makes the world a better place.

    This is the best interview I’ve seen in years. When I was in high school, oh so long ago, I would ‘lay out’ (maybe this is a Florida thing…. No judging!) long enough to get a sunburn on my face before any oral presentations so people wouldn’t know my face was so red from embarrassment or anxiety or whatever that was. So relatable! Such awesomeness in this conversation . Thank you both… great questions and insightful and thoughtful answers.

    it is so nice to have a clean comedian...filthy nasty dirty talk has kind of gone out of style..we have women comedians that are beyond vulgar and it is not funny any more...back in the fifties nobody swore with the "f" word and it got attraction in the 60's..now everyone uses it all the time so now it is pasay...
