That’s almost too perfect?

Season 2 of The Jim Gaffigan Show is set to premiere on June 19th at 10PM on TV Land. That just happens to be the same exact day as Father’s Day this year.

While airing on Sunday in primetime is a valuable slot these days, we’re guessing that this is no coincidence.

It’s something more like this sketch with Jonah Ray trying to not get too personal about Father’s Day facts.

What better way to commemorate Father’s Day coming up than to hear the advice of one that has a problem just controlling the intonation of his voice, but not his anger or logic.
