""Raising children is one of the most important things that I will fail at," the comedian joked to Willie Geist during a taping of Sunday Sitdown Live on Nov. 10."
""Each batch of Fathertime bourbon is a tribute to the pains associated with each child," Gaffigan continued wryly, referring to his a latest venture, a line of craft bourbons born out of his love for whiskey and the occasional "annoyance" that stems from parenting five children."
""I have five children that I have been able to raise because of stand-up. And from what I've observed, they're not going to make any money," he told a laughing audience. "And it makes me realize - and I don't know if there are any other parents out there - that my final task of parenting is to leave them with nothing.""
Jim Gaffigan manages a prolific stand-up career while raising five children, many of them teenagers. He credits stand-up for enabling his ability to raise his family and jokes that parenting remains a likely personal failure. He created Fathertime bourbon, a craft whiskey line meant as a tribute to the pains and annoyances of parenting each child. He appeared on Sunday Sitdown Live with Willie Geist before a live audience at City Winery in New York. He reflected on early career setbacks, touring with Jerry Seinfeld, acting roles, and his affinity for Hot Pockets. He has multiple specials, Grammy nominations, and Emmy awards. His children are Marre (21), Jack (19), Katie (16), Michael (14), and Patrick (13).
