Mel Brooks calls him, "the Franz Kafka of modern day comedy." The NY Post recently said; "Richard Lewis built the strongest stand-up comedy career on a blazing trail of neuroses since Woody Allen."

Jim Gaffigan is "that guy". He's responsible for some of the funniest and most memorable moments in recent television (primetime, cable and the late-night circuit) and film. His clever, quiet style of Comedy has earned him an unprecedented number of appearances on both CBS' Late Show with David Letterman and NBC's Late Night with Conan O'Brien. His recent one hour Comedy Central Special, CD and DVD, all entitled "Beyond the Pale" have catapulted him to 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.) Now, he's back on the road for "The Sexy Tour" and he's Unmasked this week on XM.
