Gaffigan is a three‑time Grammy nominated comedian, actor, writer, producer, two‑time New York Times best‑selling author, Emmy winning top touring performer, and multiplatinum-selling father of five.

Additionally, he released his sixth stand‑up special in July, while continuing his international arena and theater tour.
