Nikki- ha! I’m the one who’s sister is Katie, and I think it is hysterical that your name is Nikki – mine is Niki! How wierd?!

Eww… I’ve seen him perform live a few times and he makes jokes about his daughter’s vagina — and cleaning it. He uses really foul terms and imagery when doing these jokes. It’s a bit disturbing — and not at all my kind of humor. I guess Katie will get to be the butt (or vagina!) of new jokes! Congrats?

I think he is absolutely hilarious! I have seen a few of his specials on comedy special. Although I have never heard him make inappropriate jokes like what jo was talking about.

Love Jim Gaffigan, so congrats! I haven’t found any of his material offensive, and find it so refreshing there are a few comedians still out there who don’t resort to profanity to get laughs. He’s hilarious!
