[edit] personal life/education

in the audio interview from aspecialthing.com, gaffigan said he attended Purdue for a year before transferring to Georgetown where he graduated, studying finance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.86.203.65 (talk) 07:52, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] pale force

Should someone mention this? It's the name of those cartoons he shows when he's a guest on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. riana 14:49, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Be bold--Wasabe3543 02:14, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Should that interview be there like that?70.111.240.185 I don't think so, either. It should probably be linked to in the external link section or something similar.

No, that interview should not be there, it's hardly the sort of thing that should be in an academic forum. I needs to be an externial link or used as a refrence source (if it can be verified)

[edit] Hot Pockets?

I have heard the same thing. My brother told me his cousin got laid off due to a drastic drop in sales caused by the routine. I havn't gotten any independent varifaction. --The Emperor of Wikipedia & Protector of Wiktionary 06:36, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Psh, if they want higher sales they need to lower their prices. I love those things, but they're extremely expensive (you get more food for the same price if you go to McDonalds), which seems incongruous for a "low-brow" food.

Lower sales? I bought hot pockets only after watching his routine =P Megamanfanx7 06:32, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

There's no data to suggest anything even remotely related to Jim Gaffigan and Hot Pocket sales figures. Beyond that, his routine would have nothing to do with Nestle making cuts. There are a huge number of economic factors involved in such a thing. Placing blame like that is alarmist and certainly not encylopedic.

[edit] Fatty Arbuckle role?

I remember at one time this page mentioning that Gaffigan was slated to play Fatty Arbuckle in a biopic on his life. It doesn't seem to be there - is it still in the works? Did it fall through? Was the claim unsubstantiated?--24.90.2.51 05:05, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unintended pun?

Do we really need to word it as "bits on Hot Pockets and Bacon?"
