Jim Gaffigan brought his trademark humor to a live Sunday Sitdown, sharing insights on raising five children and how it has inspired his new bourbon, Fathertime. The comedian made the crowd laugh as he joked that “each batch of Fathertime bourbon is a tribute to the pains associated with each child.”

Reflecting on his career, Gaffigan credited his family as inspiration behind his standup, saying, “I have five children that I have been able to raise because of stand-up. And from what I’ve observed, they’re not going to make any money.”

He teased the audience, “My final task of parenting is to leave them with nothing. Maybe it’s a romantic notion, but I want them to pay for my casket.”

Gaffigan discussed how his wife Jeannie and their children often appear in his comedy, noting that he tries to be respectful of their privacy. “Obviously, I try to be respectful and I think anyone who’s a parent is aware that we’ve all made mistakes. But parenting is, you try your best and then, as a parent you become the receptacle for all the blame.”

He added, “The premise is that I complain about my family, but I believe that if you are a parent and you’re involved, that means you are annoyed.”

The event was filled with laughter and warmth, as fans from across the country gathered to enjoy Gaffigan’s stories and camaraderie with Willie Geist. The comedian’s optimism and authenticity made the event a joyful celebration of family and humor.
