About Gaffigan
As approachable as he is edgy, Gaffigan is responsible for some of the funniest and most memorable moments in recent television (primetime, cable and the late-night circuit) and film.

Television
As a stand-up comedian, 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 titled Beyond the Pale have catapulted Gaffigan to one of the most popular touring and recorded comedians in the country today. The DVD went Gold within the first six months.

Films
On film, Gaffigan has endeared himself to audiences by taking on vivid supporting characters in a number of genres. In the cult hit Super Troopers, Gaffigan received huge laughs 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 by tragedy that ultimately explodes in rage.

Gaffigan’s other recent film credits include the forthcoming independent films The Living Wakeand Stephanie Daley. He has also been featured in Trust the Man, 13 Going On 30, Three Kings, Final, Igby Goes Down, Entrophy and Thirty Years to Life. In 2004, he co-starred in TNT’s Bad Apple with Chris Noth.

Gaffigan signed on to co-write and lend his voice to 20 new episodes of Pale Force, a series of animated shorts that will air regularly on Late Night with Conan O’Brien 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.
