I've been called the Mexican Jim Gaffigan, not because I'm funny (that goes without saying), but because I have an endless & insatiable appetite for red velvet cake. Also because I'm fat & bald.
Jim, I love ya, and I have hardly ever watched Wheel of Fortune in my life, but the few times when I spared a few moments to look in, I was utterly amazed by the quickness of wit displayed by one Mr. Sajak.
When you see Ryan Seacrest - an experienced host himself- struggle to look anywhere near as smooth and engaging as Pat was, you realize the gift and growth Mr. Sajak had. Like when hosting the Tonight Show or doing stand up comedy- the great ones make it look deceptively easy. Looking at you, Jim. It is said a great singer can 'sing the phonebook'. Or a really beautiful woman would look good in a potato sack. And a Pat Sajak can make a thin premise like Wheel of Fortune fun to watch.
The thing about Pat Sajak that will never be duplicated is how genuine he seemed. Whether he really was or not, NOBODY can act or be as genuine as he was with guests! Even the LOSERS! I want to yell at the really dumb ones! But show after show he showed us how to be gracious in the face of, sometimes, real stupidity and bad luck!
As someone who just had their episode air and shot with seacrest. I would’ve loved the chance to meet Sajak. That being said Ryan was a legend and it was an honor to meet him and be his first 100k winner :)
Pat broke the mold of game show hosts. He didn’t take himself or what he did too seriously and he had a spontaneous wit. Watching the show regularly, I gained an appreciation for the way he could subtly drop in hilarious comments.
youre one of the most genuinely funny people in stand up comedy that are still doing it at a high level. you can create bits on anything. ever thought about developing an entire special based on HOTPOCKET>! LOL no im just kidding, but an entire special on one subject or topic or event, etc? Its a challenge but i think you can do that. I cant wait to see this new work. God bless you and your family.
Jim's joke about consulting reminds me that the Spanish language did actually need to have a similar conversation to the one in his joke. When I was a kid, the Spanish alphabet had 30 letters, which got reduced to 28 in 1994, and then finally to 27 in 2010. And they still tried to teach us the alphabet in kindergarten using the English-language ABC melody, even though the scansion didn't work AT ALL with 30 letters.
Dang Jim! Please stop with the network hopping! I bought Netflix then he goes to Amazon Prime. I buy Amazon Prime and he heads to Hulu! I'm a fan.....a broke fan 😅
After hours of playing "Marry, F*ck, Kill" with my ex- on a lengthy road trip, and having used up hundreds of celebrity options, I simply pulled up three photos of Pat Sajak on my phone and asked my ex- to choose which version of Pat she'd prefer to marry, f*ck or kill. Her utter perplexity at the request, and her unwillingness to answer, essentially ended the game and made me laugh myself to tears. The relationship died, but the joy that memory elicits lives on in perpetuity. Thank you, Pat.
I'm a confirmed Jeopardy! addict but usually turn on WOF, mostly for lovely Vanna:). Was a tad sad to see Pat go but Seacrest's doin' just fine. Anyway.. National Lampoon did a HUGE ( & hilarious ) rip on PS many years back so if you lightweight whiners on here think JG's being mean just go take yer Midol & a looong hike;)..
Vanna White was always just window dressing like the models on Price is Right and Let's Make A Deal. No need for human help turning the panels. Concentration did it with motors from the very early beginnings. Then when Wheel replaced the panels with Video screens...Vanna still had to be there to touch them. $3,000,000/year for Vanna? Best gig on Earth.
And Vanna doesn't even have to turn the letters anymore... She just pushes them now! 3 million bucks year for that?!?! Just pay her with McDonald's gift cards instead! Or better yet, Hot Pockets!
I think that when Vanna White leaves they should hire someone on the welfare rolls to do the job for a year and rotate other people with needs into the position every year.
Sajak was a singer, before he was a host..Musical people often make good hosts, imo. Merv Griffin, Kelly Clarkson, Mike Douglas , Peter Marshall , Donny Osmond , Marie Osmond, just a few who were vocalists before they were hosts. And i suppose we could include Sonny and Cher, as well as Glen Campbell .
Gaffigan, you said it best; your an entertainer! When your ego decide that you were more, a arbitrator of the moral high ground, you lost half your audience. Just because you have a podium, doesn’t mean you have the right to impose your views on your audience. Now you seem to want to make amends, not going to work. We have seen your bias and your real character.
17 million a year , I'm pretty sure most of us could have handled all that pressure for 17 mill. That's corporate America for ya because we all paid his ridiculous salary whether we watched that lame show or not.
Do you have any idea how much the show makes in syndication? 17 million is probably less than the ad fees for a week, if you added up all the markets where the show is aired.
Elon Musk is the richest man in the world. What human being should have that kind of money ? It’ll be great when Musk -in his new Trump admin.-cuts your Social Security !! At least Sajaks gig gave people money.
In the short time Pat was a late-night talk show host, one of his guests was the new host of a game show, and Pat viciously mocked the guy for being a game show host. It didn't seem like he was the slightest bit self-aware, or that he was joking. It was bizarre and I've disliked him since. But Jim just took care of it!
He brings a smile to my soul😊
My dad used to always chant: "Wheel...! Of...! Torture!" 😂
And people wonder where I get my dark sense of humor.
Wow wheel of torture, your dad sure is clever for coming up with that 🙄
@grant1739 I never said he was the next George Carlin. 😂
That's better than the other one I heard, Wheel of Fornication.
I've been called the Mexican Jim Gaffigan, not because I'm funny (that goes without saying), but because I have an endless & insatiable appetite for red velvet cake. Also because I'm fat & bald.
I can't wait! The funniest guy in the world! Thank you for keeping me laughing all these years!🤣
"I'll be in my office"..... I have work to do 😂😂😂
I was here when he filmed this in Boston. Knocked it out of the park with all new content! GJ
This special was some of your best work. Really loved it. Thanks for helping get us through the past few years.
He is one of the few comics, even more than Joe Rogan, Chappelle, and Katt Williams, his comedy continues to keep impressing me.
I'll second that ❤
Jim I adore you! I’m still thankful for all the Covid compilations you made ❤
I have to watch everything he does!
I love you platonically, JIM!!
Love Jim! can't wait to watch this one. Really enjoyed the Gaffigan overload in podcasts this week.
😝😹🥳
Thanks Jim, family, staff.
✨♾️
I can't wait to see this whole thing. I'm going to watch this weekend.😂
Gotta admit that one of the reasons I voted blue was that i was hoping to see more of Jim on SNL as Tim Walz!
Thank you Jim, for helping me laugh my way through new parenthood. You're fantastic!
You knock me out!!! Great man. Happy Thanksgiving!!!❤

@@theapplepaul Very well put, sir...
Any new letters come out today? LOL
You shattered the glass for me on Pat. I feel duped!
Paid to play hangman 😂😂😂

P.S. Pat was a radio DJ in Viet Nam.

Sat next to him at a hockey game in Tampa. Just a regular fan and no one bothered him.
I can also be gracious if someone paid me $17 million a year 😂

First of all Pat Sajak is an Vietnam Veteran, serving in the Army 🇺🇸. Secondly he hosted the show for 40 years! So 4 decades! 💕 Love my Wheel! 😄
PS- Pat is pretty damn funny, a frustrated comedian/performer
Pat's job required skill. He was a very good host . Vanna, not so much.
Yeah, he did a real bang-up job in 'nam. Way to kick ass, Pat.
America thanks you for our vict- oh wait....
He also was a Trustee at Hillsdale College. I'm not sure, but he still might be.
only you can have the Gaffigan Laugh Again Show--this is totally unique!
Almost all of the skilled game show guys come out of the radio world. Most notable exception being Richard Dawson.
Brilliant!

Dang Jim! Please stop with the network hopping!
I bought Netflix then he goes to Amazon Prime. I buy Amazon Prime and he heads to Hulu!
I'm a fan.....a broke fan 😅
17 million what omg
Laughing again..
😂😂
Pat Sajak? It seems to me he must be a pretty decent guy I must say
Hi Ed!
OH my God, Martin Short as Ed Quigley!! The funniest!!!
Pat Sajak actually had a late night talk show in the late 80s. It didn’t last after a year.
I miss Pat Sejak and his voice. It was a nice program to watch and relax after a stressful workday.
After hours of playing "Marry, F*ck, Kill" with my ex- on a lengthy road trip, and having used up hundreds of celebrity options, I simply pulled up three photos of Pat Sajak on my phone and asked my ex- to choose which version of Pat she'd prefer to marry, f*ck or kill. Her utter perplexity at the request, and her unwillingness to answer, essentially ended the game and made me laugh myself to tears. The relationship died, but the joy that memory elicits lives on in perpetuity. Thank you, Pat.
Any time in the last 35 years, when I hear them yell: “WHEEL!”, I instinctively finish the phrase, “OF…..TORTURE!”.
You’re welcome.
He was a local news weatherman in Nashville, Tennessee.
Looking good! Now, about your hair. 😂😉

This satisfied a meatloaf crave i did not know i had.
I think that when Vanna White leaves they should hire someone on the welfare rolls to do the job for a year and rotate other people with needs into the position every year.
🥰🥰🥰🥰
Pat was very good and yet, this is still accurate
Wheel of Fortune should hire Jason Giambi.
17 mil a year ??? I can’t even fathom that crazy amount of money ! 😮
Jim Gaffigan goes after Pat Sajak? What's next, puppies and rainbows?
Past time for your meds.
Pat should have expanded to host Chinese Wheel of Fortune, now that would have impressed.
haha . mean but the truth
I'm sure he is going to get some grief from people who do not understand that THIS IS HUMOR. Chill people.

Vanna should sue for backpay. She worked just as hard.
Jim throwing shade at Pat Sajak. Seems like after Jim lost weight the skinny roast comedian inside him finally got out.
I want there to be a wheel of fortune episode where the contestants have severe speech impediments. It could conceivably go on for hours.
17 million a year to host a game show? 😡🤬😳

$17 million??? He gets to be drunk at work for $17 million?? I love wheel of fortune but JFC 😂
All done w this guy.
Bye.
Why does pat and Vanna make soo much money for doing absolutely nothing l?
Now it’s Ryan, not Pat anymore; just sayin’‼️❗️👋🏻😯😌😅😎🇨🇦💫🇺🇸✌🏻
He said, former host. So there. Just sayin’
You mean the whole bit was about Pat retiring from the show and now he’s not on it anymore?
Yawn
Who cares
This actually seems pretty mean spirited. Not what I would expect from Jim
@@gotham61 I think Pat and Vanna can take it. It's not like he's mocking homeless kids
Have you not ever heard Jim make fun of himself ... on many occassions??? It's lighthearted - not a character assassination. Geez.
@ Self deprecating humor is normal and fine. Making fun of someone else who isn’t there to defend themself isn’t
Are you and Maya Rudolph still on SNL? 😂😂😂 TRUMP 2024 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Jesus still loves you..Jim...✌✌✌
