Oh, Jim, I think the world DOES need comedians. They bring laughs. Keeps anxiety in check! 🇨🇦
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.

@@snatchinitback4635 - Thank you for your comment. It truly is not over while you can still find a path. I just sort of stumbled onto that truth.
My favorite comedian. Love him! Thanks Lewis for having Jim on your show. Love how he is just so down to earth. He and his wife and family are so honest and not afraid to be vulnerable.
How can you not love Jim Gaffigan. This was such a great interview. So warm, inviting, and honest.

Agree!
I love this kind of personal and intimate interviews. Jim, the world needs you. Especially during hard times, comedy is so helpful to cheer up people, even if it's just for a short while, it's very therapeutic to be able to smile and forget about our troubles.

Very true!
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.
SUCH a great interview! Love Gaffigan's comedy, but now I really appreciate him as a person and an inspiration! Great questions, Lewis!
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.
"My responsibility is to make sure they aren't douchebags" Love it
The single truth to pass on...... ''Live in the Truth, no matter what.''
Great interviewing. Jim Gaffigan is, quite possibly, the greatest comedian ever. Appreciate him opening up here.
His advice is good for any profession that presents in front of a crowd.
I love Jim Gaffigan, so thank you for this one..I’ve seen every stand up, every video lol he is a cure for my anxiety 🙏😊
He says that the world does not need comedians. But he is the only comedian I watch... My life is better listening to him.😊
Jim Gaffigan has a high social IQ, is a great comedic writer, and a talented actor. It's interesting how many comedians seem to so easily drift into dramatic cinema.
Of course we need comedians. 😎
Probably my favorite comedian of all time
jim sure seems to be a down to earth nice guy he,s as good a comic as you can get he says he,s number 3 on the pay scale should be # 1
Comedy is much needed. It is nearest to a truth. It releases endorphins and it heals. Thank you.
Love this one! Persistently knowing your dream and pursuing it paid off!
Lewis always has my favorite people on his show.
Jim! He is a wonderful person.
The world DOES need comedians!
I loved this episode. Jim Gaffigan is far and away my favourite comedian, and Lewis, you are an excellent interviewer. Love how you're following your own star. :)
Smart man!! And his kids are funny too.

Really great interview with Jim Gaffigan. Learned quite abit about him as a person. It was touching. :)
Loved Jim's definition of greatness at the end. Like Bill Burr's commitment to helicoptering.
My favorite comedian 👍🏽

A very kind man! I understand what he went through in some aspects as my son went through brain surgery and it's affects. Terrifying experience and hoping for continued recovery and connection in your family.
I LOVE, Jim gaffigan!!! I think it may be on my bucket list to see him, this year. ... if we are going to be able to do that ... maybe I should say, next year, also! He has made me laugh, and look at things lighter, in life, ...so many times, through the years!

What’s the name of the movieeee?
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...
