Jim Gaffigan: The Skinny

I've been a fan of Jim Gaffigan for years! He used to set the standard for clean, family-friendly comedy and his sets had me choking with laughter! He was SO talented and came up with some genuinely iconic and memorable bits (Hot Pockets will always remind me of Jim's high-pitched riff)!

Then came Dark Pale: an uninspired, lackluster, blasphemous, and somewhat twisted special. I went into The Skinny desperately hoping that Gaffigan had learned from his mistakes and returned to his normal, hilarious formula. No such luck. The Skinny is profane, religiously offensive, and most of the jokes don't land. Was anyone hoping for a segment on Viagra? Of course not. I hate to say it, but the old Jim is gone and this clunky, disappointing mess of a script should never have left the drawing board.
