The always hilarious comedian Jim Gaffigan is writing a second book of essays after his first, Dad Is Fat, became a success for the Crown Publishing Group imprint Crown Archetype.
According to Mediabistro, there are 115,000 handover copies of Gaffigan’s first book in print. It is currently ranked No. 36 on Amazon’s book sales chart and was released in May.
The new book is still untitled and will focus on food, which is one topic he definitely knows about. Some of his best stand up bits center on food, including his take on Hot Pockets, which will make you never want to touch one again.
Gaffigan’s new book will be out next year. He is currently touring the country.
Deadline reports that Gaffigan is also working on a pilot at CBS with Peter Tolan. While the show didn’t get a series order, CBS and Sony TV are still keeping the project moving, looking at ways to retool it for audiences.
