Jim Gaffigan Never Stops and He’s Got Another New Special Rolling Out Next Week
Jim Gaffigan is back at it, releasing yet another brand new hour special, this time with Comedy Central. The 4-time Grammy nominated comedian doesn’t understand why we aren’t more honest about the reasons we don’t want to attend events, while at the same time embraces lying to kids. From horses and dog birthdays to traveling and museums, Gaffigan continues to impress with his relatable takes on everyday life. The Network Television Premiere of Jim Gaffigan: Quality Time, a one hour stand-up special, will air Friday, December 4 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT with an encore at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on Comedy Central.
His latest hour was recorded pre-pandemic. Jim Gaffigan: Quality Time was filmed at the State Theatre in Minneapolis, MN in 2019. But Gaffigan is a beast who didn’t slow down for a second this year. After Covid hit, he organized a drive in comedy tour faster than everyone else could say ‘what do we do now?’
“I’m thrilled to have another special on Comedy Central,” said Gaffigan. “I’ll never forget how much Beyond The Pale appearing on Comedy Central changed my career.”
If it seems like yesterday that Gaffigan released his last hour, its not just the weird time vortex of 2020 getting in your head. Gaffigan released “The Pale Tourist” just this past summer. Before that he released hours in 2019, 2018, and 2017.
In fact, Gaffigan has a total of eight stand-up specials which include Beyond the Pale, King Baby, Mr. Universe, Obsessed, Cinco, Noble Ape, The Pale Tourist and Quality Time. He is one of only ten comedians in history to sell out the famed Madison Square Garden arena and he opened for Pope Francis in front of one million+ people in Philadelphia, during the Pope’s visit to the US in 2016. He was recently named one of the world’s highest grossing comedians by Forbes, and was recognized as the first comedian to reach 1 billion streams worldwide on Pandora.
Tune in Friday, December 4 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT to watch Gaffigan’s newest hour. You know you need a laugh.
