Though he spends a lot of time acting in projects like Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp and The Jim Gaffigan Show, plus writing children's books like A Pig Parade Is a Terrible Idea and A Child's First Book of Trump, he recently recorded his first new stand-up special in five years.

"Some of these jokes are about my family, and at their expense. A lot of the jokes are at my expense," he says, adopting a grin and proceeding, "and then, some of the jokes are about abortion."
