Jim Gaffigan on Conan

Stand-up comedy fans will want to watch Conan on Monday May, 20. Conan O’Brien will sit down with one of his favorite guests Jim Gaffigan.

Gaffigan has dozens of appearances on Conan and dating back to the Late Night with Conan O’Brien days. Longtime fans will remember that Gaffigan would often bring along clips of “Pale Force,” an animated series in which superhero versions of Gaffigan and O’Brien would use their paleness to fight crime. O’Brien was in the clear sidekick role and wasn’t exactly painted in the best light.

Gaffigan continues to perform stand-up shows across the country with a number of tour dates scheduled. He will also be giving fans Amazon’s first stand-up comedy special titled “Quality Time.”

As if that isn’t enough Gaffigan, fans will be able to see/have seen him in a half-dozen movies in 2019. His credits include Them That Follow with Oscar winner Olivia Colman, Troop Zero with Viola Davis and Mckenna Grace, and Drunk Parents with Alec Baldwin and Salma Hayek.

Even if Gaffigan had nothing to promote he would be worth seeing on Conan. He is one of the funniest storytellers and has a fantastic chemistry with both Conan O’Brien and Andy Ricther.
