Comedian Jim Gaffigan’s clever, quiet style has earned him an unprecedented number of appearances on both CBS’ “Late Show with David Letterman” and NBC’s “Late Night with Conan O’Brien." His recent one hour Comedy Central Special, CD and DVD, all entitled “Beyond the Pale” have catapulted Jim Gaffigan to one of the most popular touring and recorded comedians in the country today with the DVD going Gold within the first six months. After Gaffigan’s first appearance on ”David Letterman,” the host personally chose him to develop a sitcom for World Wide Pants. Eighteen months later, “Welcome to New York” debuted on CBS to critical acclaim. He then co-starred with Ellen DeGeneres on her CBS sitcom “The Ellen Show.” He's had recurring roles both on FOX’s “That 70’s Show," NBC’s “Sex and the City," "Third Watch" and each of the "Law & Order” shows. Jim can be seen November in “My Boys,” TBS' first original scripted comedy series. Jim Gaffigan got huge laughs in the cult hit "Super Troopers" and famously helped add "meow" to the lexicon of Vermont state troopers. Jim's quiet dramatic turn in ”The Great New Wonderful,” a meditation on the aftermath of 9/11, took audiences and critics by surprise as he embodied an office worker broken by tragedy who ultimately explodes in rage. Jim Gaffigan recently co-write and loaned his voice to twenty new episodes of “Pale Force,” a series of animated shorts that will air regularly on “Conan” and on the internet via webisodes. The series focuses on two pale crime-fighting superheroes that, like Gaffigan and O'Brien, are equipped with fair skin. Many recognize Jim Gaffigan from his numerous award-winning commercial campaigns for Sierra Mist, ESPN, Saturn and Rolling Rock.
