- P*ssy, p*ssy, dick, f*** you,

f*** you you piece of sh*t.

- You didn't like it when

people cursed in their act.

- F*** you.

- You didn't, you remember that?

- Curse in your f***in' c*nt,

that's how I curse, f*** you.

- He wouldn't say any of that

when we first started dating.

And he did yoga.

- Yeah.

(light music)

- You know it's

hard to remember.

People ask me this

a lot, was he funny?

And you know he was my

brother so it's hard for me

to even remember like was

there anything outstanding

about him?

Growing up I can't say he

was like unusually funny

or anything like that.

He used to do impressions,

but that was a bit later on

when he was more

like a teenager.

- He has a natural sense of

humor but I just remember him

as kind of I would say

he was shy and quiet.

- The only really thing

that I remember was that the

first night when we went

to the Blarney Stone

and they had an open

mic and I remembered how

I was impressed with his comedy.

- He was so young, my goodness.

He went up and he

was doing some jokes

and I remember distinctly

someone said, "Shut up!"

- It was still funny you know.

And he got to the point

where he was a performer.

Gilbert was waving

before, he got recognized

in the airport and now

he doesn't want to be on

the video tape.

- He's camera shy.

People assume that he's his

stage character all the time.

That's the furthest

thing from the truth.

He wants to be as the

character he likes that

but he doesn't want to be

himself on the videotape.

- [Arlene] And it's different,

if you're gonna pay the guy

a million bucks he'll put on

the act but if you're not,

he ain't gonna do it.

(laughing)

- [Karen] I don't want that act.

He doesn't want to

be on the camera

unless he's doing the act.

- Yeah, I'm scared they

won't like what they see

or whatever they like

about me, whatever they're

entertained by they might not...

But it's always the case, it's

like from the Wizard of Oz.

Don't look at that man

behind the curtain.

You don't know how they're

react to you after that.

- Who are you?

- I am the great and

powerful wizard of Oz.

- You are?

I don't believe you!

(upbeat music)

- Our guest this week

is an actor, author,

voice over artist, and

one of the most successful

and popular stand up

comedians in the world.

A man far too important

and busy to be caught dead

appearing on this show,

our pal Jim Gaffigan.

- Oh thank you, thank

you for having me.

This is an honor, Gilbert.

- Yes.

- This is cool that

we're doing this

at the Friar's too right?

- Oh yeah.

Now let's talk about

your first special.

- Okay.

- B*tches be suckin' my dick.

(laughing)
