It’s on at 10PM on TV Land tonight and tomorrow at 8PM on Comedy Central.
You’ve got two chances to catch the premiere of Jim Gaffigan’s titular series. Please don’t miss out.
FYI, every week it’ll be on 10PM on Wed. at TV Land and 8PM on Thurs. at Comedy Central.
The premiere of The Jim Gaffigan Show is just around the corner on July 15th and Jim stopped by The Tonight Show to give a preview as well as break down why Father’s Day is a little less necessary than Mother’s Day and throw shade on summer.
Just another classic Gaffigan late night appearance to top your nice Father’s Day weekend.
FYI, we intended those puns.
Both Jim Gaffigan and David Letterman are both from Indiana.
Growing up and coming up as a comedian, Gaffigan looked up to Dave and admired his keeping of his Midwestern sensibilities even amongst the bright lights and skylines of NYC.
Watch Jim’s parting and touching words about Letterman on CBS Sunday Morning before Dave’s departure from The Late Show tomorrow night.
In a show about the life of comedian Jim Gaffigan, food and eating of said food is essential.
Jim has just posted the first trailer for The Jim Gaffigan Show coming to TV Land and Comedy Central this Summer and features a montage of Jim eating and how it might get on the nerves of his friends, family, and colleagues.
Watch it here.
While, we’ll have to wait awhile for the premiere this trailer also came with the announcement that an entire episode of The Jim Gaffigan Show will be released for a limited time on May 15th.
So, mark your calendars already.
Just take a look at this call sheet for The Jim Gaffigan Show.
According to them, Dave Attell, Colin Quinn, Eddie Pepitone, Bonnie McFarlane, Aparna Nancherla, Tom Papa, Rich Vos, James Adomian, Artie Lange, and Damien Lemon are all going to play themselves on the upcoming Jim Gaffigan Show that will be on TV Land and Comedy Central this Summer.
As it’s only one call sheet, we’re guessing this is only the tip of the iceberg as to who will be on the show. Maybe Louis C.K. will be on it, which almost might qualify as a crossover episode with Louie?

So, it might be worth checking out when it hits theaters.
Colin Quinn’s Cop Show continues its march to parody the oversaturation of police procedurals while also being able to poke fun at itself.
This latest episode showcases just that by having a Jim Gaffigan guest star as an African warlord then also trying to bait cell phone endorsements at the same time.
Someone, somewhere probably has behind the scenes footage of some procedural series that’s exactly like this.
Not only does Jim Gaffigan have The Jim Gaffigan Show coming to TV Land and Comedy Central this Summer, he also has a new stand-up tour too.

Here’s Jim himself talking about the whole thing, chili and all.
*probably not
We’re sure that you’ll be sure to check TV Land and Comedy Central this summer for the series premiere of The Jim Gaffigan Show.
Based off their first promo, you and everyone else in the streets won’t be able to resist.
Jim Gaffigan looks like he’s going to have a pretty fun week at the helm of The Late Late Show on CBS.
Just check out his kids opening up the show just like they’ve been doing for some of his stand-up shows and his monologue from last night.
This week of The Late Late Show’s interim period between Craig Ferguson and James Corden is definitely one worth checking out.
The one and only Jim Gaffigan is filling in as host for most of this week. That fact alone should make you clear out 12:35AM to watch.
On top of that, Michael Ian Black, Sarah Silverman, Kumail Nanjiani, Dave Koechner, Justin Willman, Lena Dunham, Maria Bamford, Garry Shandling, and more are all going to be guests that sit down with Gaffigan.
So, make a reminder for 12:35AM at CBS and let’s see if Jim has The Gaffigan Five worked into the show at all.
The five children of Jim Gaffigan have made up some great parts of Gaffigan’s act over the years, but seldom are they actually on stage with their dad when he’s doing stand-up.
That all changed recently when The Gaffigan Five got to open up for Jim Gaffigan with a pretty great Gaffigan theme song. Watch it here.

In another case where broadcast networks let a huge comedy star and their show go to cable, Jim Gaffigan got a series order for The Jim Gaffigan Show at TV Land and Comedy Central a few months ago.
Given the nature of how unstable TV is these days, you can never be too sure (like Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt that was already ordered as a series by NBC then sold to Netflix) if anything is going to make it on air until it actually makes it on air.
However, Gaffigan tweeting about his show, complete with a title card where he’s attempting to deal with his kids, happening next year both at TV Land and Comedy Central is most reassuring.
The Grammys have just announced the majority of the nominees for their 83 categories, which include Best Recording Package, Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package, Best Album Notes, Best Contemporary Christian Music Album, and Best Comedy Album.
Of course, we’re only concerned with comedy here rather than how an album is packaged or what music is playing in your local chapel’s gift shop, so the nominees for Best Comedy Album are:
“Mandatory Fun”-Weird Al Yankovic
“Obsessed”-Jim Gaffigan
“Oh My God”-Louis C.K.
“Tragedy Plus Comedy Equals Time”-Patton Oswalt
“We Are Miracles”-Sarah Silverman
Honestly, it’ll be hard to tell who’s going to win as Silverman has an Emmy for We Are Miracles, Yankovic scored #1 Billboard spot with Mandatory Fun, and Oswalt, C.K., and Gaffigan are critically and commercially amongst the top tier of funniest people in comedy right now.
Also, we’d like to note that Joan Rivers got nominated posthumously in the Best Spoken Word Album category for “Diary of a Mad Diva”, Tenacious D got nominated for Best Metal Performance for covering Dio’s “The Last in Line”, and Tegan & Sara and The Lonely Island’s “Everything Is Awesome” from The Lego Movie got nominated for Best Song Written for Visual Media.
See the full list, if you dare, of nominees here.

While Craig Ferguson is set to end his run of The Late Late Show on Dec. 19th and James Corden isn’t taking over the role of host until Mar. 9th, CBS will still continue The Late Late Show with a grouping of guests hosts.
Announced today, Jim Gaffigan, Judd Apatow, Will Arnett, Thomas Lennon, and more will fill in during the winter at The Late Late Show.
As John Oliver’s run as host at The Daily Show ended up being a test run for his own show, perhaps the very same thing could happen during any of the weeks that any of the aforementioned interim hosts.
However, there is no word on whether there will be interim Geoff Petersons.
We shouldn’t really need to say anything beyond the headline. You’re just going to watch Jim Gaffigan do stand-up on The Tonight Show because he’s Jim Gaffigan.
So, without further adieu, here’s his set from last night.
Jim Gaffigan’s book Food: A Love Story is out now and you should definitely pick up,
This also means he gets to make the rounds on late night and do “it” all again. By “it”, we mean be the undeniably hilarious Jim Gaffigan.
Watch his interview on The Tonight Show right here.
Of the bevy of comedy things that are being released today, be sure to pick up Jim Gaffigan’s latest book Food: A Love Story.
For the hours of brilliant comedic material that Jim has come up with based on food and his experience with it, this should be better than any food porn movie that you saw in theaters this year.
Taking advantage of the endless wealth of comedy genius that resides in and around NYC as well as bringing plenty of the funniest people in the land, The NY Comedy Festival for 2014 isn’t something you should miss.
In the line-up thus far:
Bill Cosby, Comedy Underground with Dave Attell, Louis C.K., John Oliver, Jim Gaffigan, Jon Stewart, Schtick or Treat, Kyle Kinane, Amy Poehler, Friends of the People, Seth Herzog, Tig Notaro, This Is Not Happening, Brian McCann, Dave Hill, Pete Holmes, Keith and the Girl, Sara Schaefer, Kabin, Nate Bargatze, Big Jay Oakerson, Letterman writers, Hannibal Buress, Marc Maron, Aparna Nancherla, James Adomian, Cameron Esposito, Deer Prom, Monroe Martin, Brent Morin, Nick Vatterott, Sean O’Connor, Eric Andre, Emily Heller, Maria Bamford, Nick Offerman, Jeff Ross, Murderfist, Guy Branum, Bob Odenkirk, Rachel Feinstein, and more.
It’ll be a mix of headlining shows, showcases, benefits, album recordings, special shows, and more.
So clear out your calendar for Wed. Nov. 5th-Sun. Nov. 9th if you can, in any way, go to any/all of these shows.
We’re not sure if Nerdist is trying to keep up with the pace of pilot and script orders of networks or not, but they might be well on their way to doing so.
Last week, Hound Tall with Moshe Kasher was Nerdist’s latest addition to their network of podcasts and now, Lies with Sara Schaefer is the newest addition in association with WNYC.
The show itself sounds like an absolute fun ride as Sara and a guest are required to lie about and improvise everything. The first guest is Jim Gaffigan who talks about beauty and gymnastics, two things that Gaffigan “exemplifies” completely, so you should listen and subscribe now.
Whether it may have been a lifelong dream or not, Jim Gaffigan was part of the Indianapolis Colts during preseason and then was subsequently cut.
For the life of us, we couldn’t imagine why Jim, who really makes an efficient use of time between eating and practicing by mixing the two, would get cut.
Countless hours of brilliant comedic material based on food should leave no doubt in your mind that Jim Gaffigan talking about drinking gravy on The Late Show with David Letterman will be pretty damn funny.

Jim Gaffigan’s pilot that was in contention for awhile at CBS has now officially moved to a ten episode order at TV Land for next year and gotten a title, The Gaffigan Show. The show, much like his stand-up, will draw from his experiences of being a husband and father of five.
Reruns of The Gaffigan Show will air on Comedy Central a week after their air on TV Land. This has us curious if CBS and NBC will end up regretting letting go of The Gaffigan Show and Mulaney respectively.
(via Deadline)
With the announcements of which pilots have been picked up for the next year well behind us, there is still hope for a handful of projects at other networks.
Jim Gaffigan’s pilot might have a chance a TV Land after going through a few rounds at CBS while Jerrod Carmichael is getting another shot at NBC. Also, Rob Lowe and Rob Riggle’s tennis comedy pilot The Pro and legal comedy Sober Companion starring Nick Frost and Justin Long are still being considered at Fox.
We’re glad to hear that all these projects are still in play and will keep our fingers crossed as long as we can in hopes that they get picked up.
Jim Gaffigan’s Next Book, “Food: A Love Story” Is Now on Pre-Order
If the amazing cake toppers on the book cover aren’t enough to get you to buy it, then surely the fact that Jim Gaffigan’s 2nd book is contained in the pages behind that cover should get you on board for Food: A Love Story.
It’s set to come out on Oct. 21st, but you can and should put your order in for it now.
