Jim and Jeannie Gaffigan Are Ending “The Jim Gaffigan Show”
While we would have liked to have seen more of The Jim Gaffigan Show, we are glad to hear that Jim and Jeannie are ending the show on their terms.
Keep in mind that Jim was balancing this show, his stand-up, writing books, and, of course, having his big, lovely family and that he could make a quality sitcom with all of that is amazing.

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.
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?
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.
Next year. pic.twitter.com/rdqlRQkKs3

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.
