Jim Gaffigan is considered a true triple-threat having achieved major milestones in stand-up, acting and writing.

As a stand-up comedian, Jim's cutting edge, 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. Jim's comedy special for Comedy Central, Comedy Central Presents: Jim Gaffigan, remains one of the highest-rated for all stand-up specials on the network. A national club and corporate event staple, Jim has performed at both the prestigious HBO US Comedy Arts Festival and the world renowned Just For Laughs International Comedy Festival in Montreal.

In late 2003, Jim added two more CDs, Last Supper and More Moo-Moos, to his previously released comedy CDs, Luigi's Doghouse and Economics II. All are available on his website.

After Jim's first appearance on The Late Show With David Letterman, Mr. Letterman personally chose Jim to develop a sitcom for World Wide Pants. A year and half later, Welcome to New York debuted on CBS to critical acclaim. The Wall Street Journal declared Jim "a true find" and TV Guide nominated Jim for Best Actor in a New Sitcom. Jim then co-starred with Ellen DeGeneres on her CBS sitcom The Ellen Show. For the past two years he has had recurring roles both on FOX's That 70s Show and NBC's Ed. In 2004, Fox Television commissioned a script from Jim for an animated series based on Jim?s life as a husband and father living New York City.

Jim has appeared in more than two dozen feature films ranging from big budget hits (Three Kings, Road Trip) to Indies (Final, Igby Goes Down, Entropy). Jim appeared in several films chosen for the Sundance Film Festival, including Super Troopers and Thirty Years to Life. In the 2004, you might have caught Jim in TNT?s Bad Apple with Chris Noth and on the big screen in 13 Going on 30 with Jennifer Garner.

Many recognize Jim from his numerous award-winning commercial campaigns, which include Fleet Bank (with Derek Jeter and Nomar Garciapara), ESPN, Saturn and Rolling Rock. Jim's commercial presence had such an impact that for 1999 Business Week declared him "Salesman of The Year."
