The album also earned a nomination for 'Best Comedy Album of the Year' at the 2015 Grammy's.

In 2013, Jim's first book 'Dad is Fat' was released by Crown Publishing and debuted at #5 on the New York Time's Bestseller's List and remained on the list for 17 weeks after. His second book, 'Food: A Love Story' was released in the fall of 2014 and debuted at #3 on the New York Time's Bestseller's List.
