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 "The Late Show with David Letterman" and "Late Night with Conan O'Brien." His recent one-hour Comedy Central Special, CD and DVD, all entitled "Beyond the Pale," have catapulted Gaffigan to being one of the most popular touring and recorded comedians in the country today. The DVD for "Beyond the Pale" went gold within the first six months. His latest special, "King Baby", ranked as one of the top Comedy Central stand-up specials of 2009.

After Gaffigan's first appearance on "Letterman," the host personally chose him to develop a sitcom for World Wide Pants. Eighteen months later, "Welcome to New York" debuted to critical acclaim. He then co-starred with Ellen DeGeneres on her sitcom "The Ellen Show." For two years he had recurring roles both on "That 70s Show" and "Ed." Jim has also had roles on "Sex and the City" and "Third Watch" and each of the "Law and Order" shows, among others. Jim can currently be seen on "My Boys," TBS' first original scripted comedy series.

On film, Jim has endeared himself to audiences by taking on vivid supporting characters in a number of genres. In the cult hit "Super Troopers," Gaffigan 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.

Gaffigan's other recent film credits include "The Living Wake," "Stephanie Daley," "Trust the Man," "13 Going on 30," "Three Kings, "Final, "Igby Goes Down," "Entropy," and "Thirty Years to Life." In 2004, he co-starred in TNT's "Bad Apple" with Chris Noth.

Gaffigan co-writes and lends his voice to "Pale Force," a series of animated shorts that airs regularly on "Conan" and on the internet via webisodes. 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.

Gaffigan currently lives in New York with his family. [LESS]
