I love Jim Gaffigan. I discovered him when I was in college. Its great to see hus career develop.

I love what Jim is talking about here, doing new stuff instead of riding the same lines. Wish Gabriel Iglasius ('Fluffy') would take that unspoken rule to heart.

[Rogermarch]

Gaffigan seems so lovely, genuine and naturally funny by nature. Would be a great neighbour to have!
