Jim Gaffigan Reveals the Scariest Part About Playing Tim Walz on SNL - Late Night with Seth Meyers

Two years ago I saw Jim sitting in a café in Stockholm, having a coffee and writing on his laptop. It was amazing, and I needed you all to know.

[romehalt]

I love how Wally is now Seth’s Guillermo.

[HettiedeKorteDiplomaat]

I love Jim. He helped me through the pandemic. ❤ And he's getting better and better. He makes comedians who curse a lot look like children. Jim is not a clean comic, he's a brilliant one.

[nellou]

I would love to have thanksgiving with these guys!

[carlamcbride]

Im from MN and I think he was a much better fit to play Walz than Steve Martin.

[MaryLopez-emrc]

Jim was fantastic as Walz, I will miss it. I watch SNL sketches on YouTube with my Sunday morning wake and bake!

[Nothanku_]

Jim Gaffigan looks like an English professor in the best way possible

[hutch]

I just watched his new special "The Skinny" and it was truly one of his most solid sets. I highly recommend it!

[christineherrmann]

We're ALL disappointed not to have more Gaffigan as Walz on SNL. Maybe he'll run for President in 2028 and we'll get another chance.

Omgggg Jim starting to look like Philip Seymour Hoffman!!

[mrcatfish]

This dude is hilarious with the Tim walz impression.

[amyvanlowthian]

Love Jim..i hope he has more appearances on SNL

[jiorts]

Non sappevo che e mezzo italiano. Sei grande Giovanni 🙌🥳

[elizabethheyenga]

Took me some time to get used to trim Seth Rogen. Jim looks really good.

[gregbors]

Alas, poor Tim Walz… we barely knew ye 💀

[joannejohnson]

A really hilarious man
Reminds me of someone 😉🤗👏🏽💌

[katekramer]

"It certainly worked out" And yet, not quite well enough 😢

[johnnycashew]

Once me and my friends were walking past 30 rock kind of late, and we were across the street from it and an older white person exited the building, saw us, and began to walk faster.

It was the classic New York don't get mugged walk. It kind of looked like Wally the cue card guy but I don't think it was him. We were half offended. But also we understand

[karlabanks]

I can’t look at him and not think he “has a ton of midterms to grade!” 😂

[dustinjm]

Good to see a comedian on that stage finally. As soon as Jim left, the comedy left with it.
