I am from Indiana and we are so proud of Jim Gaffigan.

Jim’s voice is amazing! The talking pitch of his voice can go from really high to really low. He’s the comedic equivalent of a very talented musician. It’s something that most people aren’t gifted with, and it always amazes me. ❤

Jim Gaffigan is one of my all time favorite Comedians. He can take anything and twist it into a funny shtick just by the sound of his voice and first, second, or third person narrative of his own jokes.

Happy that Jim Gaffigan is recognized more widely as a great comedian!

[ArksCovenant]

I can't remember the last guest that made Kimmel laugh that hard and much. And I've never seen someone make Gaffigan chuckle as much as he did. What a sit-down 🏆

I like Gaffigan’s honesty. All these other celebrities all of the sudden are losing weight “without medication”….yeah right.

[LINDACATTREN]

I’ve watched all his comedy specials, most of them more than once! 🥰👍
