THE SKINNY is Jim Gaffigan’s 11th stand-up special. The 60-minute TV special begins with Gaffigan making fun of his losing weight…with the help of Mounjaro. Gaffigan then moves on to his problems with being a parent and the confrontations with teenage angst. My favorite routine was Gaffigan’s story of how he and his family acquired a dog during the Pandemic despite his wife’s allergy to dogs.

Diane loves Jim Gaffigan’s humor. I’m a bit more reserved. I find Gaffigan mildly entertaining. His sardonic wit is okay in small doses. You might enjoy this new comedy special if you have HULU. GRADE: B
