Jim Gaffigan, a native of Northwest Indiana, has proven himself a major talent beloved to a wide range of audiences, achieving milestones in stand-up, acting and writing, responsible for some of the funniest and most memorable moments in recent television history.

As a stand-up comedian, Gaffigan’s clever, quiet style has earned him an unprecedented number of appearances on both LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN and LATE NIGHT WITH CONAN O'BRIEN.  His recent one hour Comedy Central Special, entitled “Beyond the Pale” have catapulted Gaffigan to one of the most popular touring and recorded comedians in the country today. 

After Gaffigan’s first appearance on DAVID LETTERMAN, the host personally chose him to develop a sitcom for World Wide Pants.  WELCOME TO NEW YORK debuted on CBS to critical acclaim.  He has also co-starred with Ellen DeGeneres on THE ELLEN SHOW, had recurring roles on THAT 70'S SHOW and ED and has appeared on SEX AND THE CITY, THIRD WATCH and each of the LAW & ORDER shows. Jim can be seen soon in MY BOYS, TBS' first original scripted comedy series.

Gaffigan’s film credits are also formidable, having  been featured in TRUST THE MAN, 13 GOING ON 30, THREE KINGS, FINAL, IGBY GOES DOWN, ENTROPY and THIRTY YEARS TO LIFE. 

Gaffigan recently 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 CONAN and on the internet via webisodes starting in October.  The series focuses on two pale crime-fighting superheroes that, like Gaffigan and O'Brien, are equipped with fair skin.

Many recognize Gaffigan from his numerous award-winning commercial campaigns, which include Sierra Mist, ESPN, Saturn and Rolling Rock.  His commercial presence earned him Business Week’s 1999 "Salesman of the Year" honor.
