Jim Gaffigan on His Bourbon Stand‑Up Comedy Special, Parenting Teenagers

Comedian Jim Gaffigan joins Glass Half Full with Craig Melvin to discuss his stand-up comedy career and the years it took to find success. From jealousy and failure to losing his mother at a young age, Jim reflects on the moments that shaped his life and work. Plus, he and Craig bond over parenting, bourbon and choosing to see the glass as half full. Glass Half Full is a new podcast from TODAY’s Craig Melvin. Each week, Craig sits down with a celebrity, athlete, comedian or just plain fascinating person for intimate conversations that feel like catching up with an old friend. With warmth, humor, and curiosity, he explores how setbacks become breakthroughs — and how you never really know when that moment can become the moment that changes everything. Join us. Because who knows? You might just leave with a fresh perspective…and your glass half full. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
