EXCLUSIVE: NBC has bought a single-camera comedy from actor-comedian Jim Gaffigan, Universal TV and Scot Armstrong and Ravi Nandan’s studio-based American Work. Gaffigan will write and star in the project based on his life as a lazy man, married to a strong woman, raising 4 children in a 2 bedroom apartment in New York City. Gaffigan will executive produce with his manager, Brillstein Entertainment’s Alex Murray, as well as Armstrong and Nandan. Gaffigan, a respected standup comedian, will begin a 30-city tour in the beginning of 2012. It will spawn a televised comedy stand-up special in February, which is eying non-traditional ways for digital distribution. CAA-repped Gaffigan’s previous comedy series starring vehicle was the 2000 CBS sitcom Welcome To New York, which was produced by David Letterman’s company. He recently co-starred on the TBS comedy series My Boys and made his Broadway debut in That Championship Season earlier this year.

Whoa Jim Gaffigan??..Greenblatt is going for the 3 pointers from the baseline ..is this real?
Great. That’s all America needs: another lazy man whipped by his wife.
Let the women take over….less work for us to do.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jim Gaffigan is hilarious. Can’t wait to watch whatever this is going to be!
Shark jumped.
Thank you.
Hot Pockets !
How are they gonna cast a wife for him as hot as his real wife?! Im not sure I believe she’s really his wife!!
Jim Gaffigan is the funniest fucker out there. His live show is absolutely brilliant…just watched his last special on Netflix/AppleTV…was totally blown away and pleasantly surprised. what a talent…go JIm!
1. “watched his last special on Netflix/AppleTV” Who talks like this??
2. His last special, King Baby, is not on Netflix Instant.
Agreed. Jim Gaffigan always makes me laugh. If his show is 1/10th as funny as his stand-up act, it will be the funniest sitcom on TV. Count me in!
funniest comedian around. bacon……
Wow!! Great news! Looking forward to the special in February and the series. “she was a panda”
Sweet mercy, I hope there’s a plethora of bacon jokes. Seriously, comedies these days just don’t have enough. Heck, just call the show Bacon. Who wouldn’t watch that? Everyone loves bacon.
Very happy to hear this, especially the single cam part.
Hotpocket!
True dat. I love Gaff, but another sharp wife/idiot husband…Noooooooooooo!
^ Talented.
Gaffigan that is. I don’t know Kristina…
Great news… a guy who is actually funny.
Gaffigan was brilliant on Broadway in “That Championship Season”!
Hhhooooot Pockets.
Awesome. I can’t wait for another successful stand up comedian to bring me another banal, unfunny sitcom i.e. Whitney! Oh man, I bet he and his wife will have a playfully antagonistic relationship and everything! Can’t wait!
