Jim Gaffigan

Jim Gaffigan is a true comedic triple threat with achievements in stand-up, acting, and writing. Beloved by a wide range of audiences, Gaffigan continues to prove himself a major talent whose clever and quiet style has earned him a spot among the top five most successful touring comedians in the country today. His 2006 Comedy Central special "Beyond the Pale" was certified platinum, selling over 150,000 DVDs and more than 170,000 CDs.

Gaffigan was seen in the Sam Mendes' film "Away We Go," with John Krasinski and Maggie Gyllenhaal, and in "17 Again," with Zac Efron. Gaffigan has also been seen in such films as "The Love Guru," "13 Going on 30," "Super Troopers," "Three Kings" and the independent films "The Living Wake," a dark comedy, and "The Great New Wonderful," a meditation on the aftermath of 9/11.

Gaffigan's talent has earned him an exceptional number of appearances on both CBS' "Late Show with David Letterman" and NBC's "Late Night with Conan O'Brien," and he is the creative force, co-writer and voice of all the characters in "Pale Force," the superhero crime-fighting duo he created with O'Brien for NBC.com. The weekly animated series ran on the internet, with Gaffigan premiering episodes once a month on "Late Night." The 40-episode series was nominated for a Broadband Emmy and a Webby Award.

In 2008, Gaffigan finished his Comedy Central live tour, "Jim Gaffigan: The Sexy Tour," during which he performed 50 sold out shows across 25 cities, culminating at the Paramount Theatre in Austin, Texas, where he filmed another Comedy Central special, "King Baby." Gaffigan's scripted television guest appearances include HBO's cult hit "Flight of the Concords," "That 70's Show," "Ed," "Sex and the City," "The Ellen Show," "Third Watch" and all three of the "Law & Order" show variations.

Often recognized for his numerous award-winning commercial campaigns, which include EBAY, Sierra Mist, ESPN, Saturn, and Rolling Rock, his commercial presence earned him BusinessWeek's 1999 "Salesman of the Year" honor.
