Jim Gaffigan is having a bit of a rough go of it right now. The happy-go-lucky comedian and his wife and co-writer, Jeannie, discovered she had a benign tumor the size of a pear wrapped around her brain stem last month. She’d been experiencing headaches and fatigue for months—something she attributed to being the mom of five wild kids—but when her hearing started to go, she decided to have it checked out.
Though the tumor has been fully removed and Jeannie is slowly on the mend, things are still up in the air at the Gaffigan home. Though Jim’s supposed to be promoting the album version of his last Netflix special, Cinco—complete with commentary tracks featuring Jeannie—he’s also acting as a full-time caregiver, meaning he’s had to cancel a number of tour dates while shuttling his family around New York. Somehow, though, he managed to find time to talk with us, about everything from parenting to just how quickly life can change.
