**[City, State] –** Stand-up comedian Jim Gaffigan appeared on “The Dan Patrick Show” this week, discussing his current “Everything Is Wonderful!” tour and new comedy special, “The Skinny.” During the interview, Gaffigan humorously lamented his lack of a professional football career, despite a brief two-week stint as a walk-on player at Purdue University.
“There’s a picture of me when I walked on at Purdue,” Gaffigan said, “but I was literally there for two weeks and now people are like, ‘Yeah, he’s a Big Ten football player…’ It’s just sad that I didn’t play in the NFL even though I didn’t really even play Division 1.”
Gaffigan also shared insights into his comedic influences and the challenges he faced breaking into the industry. The interview, airing on the nationally syndicated “Dan Patrick Show,” known for its access to A-list guests from sports and entertainment, is available [mention where the interview can be found, e.g., on the show’s website/podcast].
