Actor and comedian
Jim Gaffigan has come a long way from driving down the stock price for Hot Pockets.
He landed his own short-lived sitcom on CBS, thanks to David Letterman, called
Welcome to New York and a co-starring role on the hit TBS' dramedy
My Boys, which returns for a third season on March 31.
He also racked up a long resume of funny and dramatic roles on hit shows like
Sex and the City,
Flight of the Conchords, and

The third and final installment of
Conan O'Brien and comedian Jim Gaffigan's "Pale Force" animated Christmas episode can now be
streamed online, and it's a classic. Not only does it manage to satirize every single pop culture manifestation of this most precious of holidays, it also throws in a dig about the Eurocentric depiction of Christ, gives us an animated Andy Warhol and poses the question, "What would the world be like if Conan weren't pale?"
The number of sly references in the three-parter is dazzling as are such jaunty songs as "Not Going to Get Me Down This Year" and "Christmas is the Palest Time of Year." So, move over
Scrubs' Charlie Brown Xmas and
SNL's "Dick in a Box," the "Pale Force Christmas" episode has entered the favorite holiday viral race.
