Jim Gaffigan has proven himself a major talent beloved to a wide range of audiences after achieving milestones in stand-up, acting and writing. As approachable as he is edgy, Jim is responsible for some of the funniest and most memorable moments in recent television (primetime, cable and the late-night circuit) and film.

As a stand-up comedian, Gaffigan's clever, quiet style has earned him an unprecedented number of appearances on both CBS' LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN and NBC's LATE NIGHT WITH CONAN O'BRIEN. His "Beyond the Pale" Comedy Central Special, CD and DVD, have catapulted Gaffigan to one of the top 5 most popular touring comedians in the country today. The "Beyond the Pale" DVD was certified Platinum, selling over 150,000 copies, with the CD also selling over 150,000 copies.

In July Jim will kick off his 2008 Comedy Central Live Tour, "Jim Gaffigan: The Sexy Tour," visiting theaters in 26 cities leading up to the taping of his new hour Comedy Central special, CD and DVD at The Paramount Theatre in Austin on December 6.

Gaffigan is the creative force, co-writer and voices all the characters in PALE FORCE, the superhero crime-fighting duo with Conan O'Brien on NBC.com. The weekly animated series ran on the internet with Gaffigan premiering episodes once a month on LATE NIGHT WITH CONAN O'BRIEN. The two season, 40 episode series was nominated for a Broadband Emmy and a Webby Award.

After Gaffigan's first appearance on DAVID LETTERMAN, the host personally chose him to develop the sitcom WELCOME TO NEW YORK which debuted to critical acclaim. Jim has co-starred or was featured in many TV shows including THE ELLEN SHOW, THAT 70'S SHOW, ED, SEX AND THE CITY, THIRD WATCH and each of the LAW & ORDER shows among others. Jim can currently be seen in MY BOYS, TBS' first original scripted comedy series.

Jim recently shot the Sam Mendes film, FARLANDERS, and can be seen in the films THE LOVE GURU, the forthcoming SEVENTEEN AGAIN and the independent film THE LIVING WAKE. He has been featured in numerous films including STEPHANIE DALEY, 13 GOING ON 30 and THREE KINGS. Jim has endeared himself to audiences by taking on vivid supporting characters in a number of genres. In the cult hit SUPER TROOPERS, Gaffigan got huge laughs and famously helped add "meow" to the lexicon of Vermont state troopers. Jim's quiet dramatic turn in THE GREAT NEW WONDERFUL, a meditation on the aftermath of 9/11, took audiences and critics by surprise as he embodied an office worker broken by tragedy who ultimately explodes in rage.
