Jim Gaffigan: Obsessed small logo
Jim Gaffigan is a Grammy-nominated comedian, New York Times Best-Selling author, father of five and top touring performer whose DVDs and CDS have reached multi-platinum sales. His fourth one-hour special (his previous specials include "Beyond the Pale" (2006), "King Baby" (2009) and "Mr. Universe" (2012)), "Obsessed," premieres on Comedy Central on April 27, 2014, and the DVD/CD will be released on April 29 by Comedy Central Records. The pre-order for "Obsessed" has already charted #1 on iTunes, which gives Gaffigan his fifth album in the Top 25 Comedy category on iTunes. In May 2013, Jim's first book, "Dad Is Fat," was released by Crown Publishing and debuted at #5 on the New York Times Best Sellers List and remained on the list for 17 weeks. Gaffigan has had breakout guest appearances on many comedies and dramas ranging from "Portlandia" to HBO's cult hits "Flight of the Conchords" and "Bored to Death" to dramatic roles in all three versions of "Law & Order." In recent years, Gaffigan has also become a mainstay on the big screen with memorable roles in "Going the Distance," "Away We Go" and "It's Kind of a Funny Story." In 2011, he further broadened his career: Gaffigan starred in his first Broadway production, "That Championship Season." As part of the highly acclaimed play, Gaffigan appeared in the ensemble alongside Chris Noth, Brian Cox, Jason Patric and Kiefer Sutherland. Gaffigan is currently on a 50-city national tour entitled "Jim Gaffigan: The White Bread Tour."
