Two Comedy Legends are Joining Forces for 4 Nights Only

My son, Liam, and I have seen Jim Gaffigan twice, once during the pandemic at the “Drive-In Live” series at Monmouth Park in Oceanport, which was presented by the Count Basie Center for the Arts in Red Bank. Then again, as a gift to him for Christmas, front row center at the Theatre at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

A few years back my wife, Kathleen, bought me Jerry Seinfeld tickets for my birthday. We both went to see Jerry at the Borgata in Atlantic City. All three of those shows were absolutely awesome.

Those two legends are, without a doubt, two of Jersey's favorites, and two of the most recognizable names in the comedy world today, Jerry Seinfeld and Jim Gaffigan. Now, they've announced that they are teaming up and will be co-headlining a four-date stand-up tour. Unfortunately, none of the shows will be in New Jersey, New York or Philly.

The shows will kick off on Friday, November 3rd at San Francisco's Chase Center. Then, the following night on Saturday, November 4th, they'll be jetting southward to play the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, CA. The following week the tour will shift to the Windy City of Chicago, Illinois where they'll perform on Friday, November 10th, and then the big finale will wrap up the four-show tour on Saturday, November 11th, at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Missouri.

Gaffigan's Instagram says that tickets go on sale Wednesday, June 14, at 10 a.m. on both JimGaffigan.com and JerrySeinfeld.com, with the code "ALIVE."

Jerry and Jim on season 8 of Seinfeld's "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" series, and told The Hollywood Reporter that the team-up was in the works for some time. They "have been talking about doing this for years. We finally made the schedules work out."

Jim Gaffigan said, "I'm so excited to help out this unknown up-and-upcoming comedian who many may have never heard of. I know it will be an amazing bunch of shows."

Happy National Best Friends Day! While on the surface, this may seem like one of those "fake" holidays you often see, there's actually some history behind it.

According to Calendarr.com, U.S. Congress declared June 8 as National Best Friends Day back in 1935. Why June 8, though? That date was chosen due to it falling between spring and summer, so the weather would likely be nice enough to enjoy an outdoor activity with your BFF.

However, the holiday really took off thanks to social media. Various platforms provide a fun, easy way to share photos of your best friend along with hashtags like #NationalBestFriendsDay.

As with any holiday, a little celebrating is in order. Here are just some of our favorite best friends from film and TV. Enjoy!

If your friend’s dad threatened military school if you two flunked your history class, you’d travel through time to pull out all the stops to keep your friend at your school, too!  

Going to your ten-year high school reunion is kind of like time travel. For Romy and Michelle, it’s their way to stick it to the “A-Group” who bullied them for those formative four years.

Few friendships are as beloved as Cory and Shawn. Boy Meets World fans saw them grow up from middle school to college and all of the ups and downs that come with those years.

Evan and Seth are graduating from high school and are about to go their separate ways to college, but there’s nothing that brings two friends together than the hopes of potentially hooking up with their dream girls at the biggest party of their lives.

They don’t fit in and are too sardonic for Lawndale High or really any high school in existence. Thankfully, they have each other to lean on and viewers got to make fun of their fellow classmates with them.

Think of them like a super-rude, modern version of The Odd Couple. Their shenanigans throughout the entire “View Askewniverse” honestly deserve their own list.

Bound together thanks to rock and roll and an amazing cable access show, Wayne and Garth were “goals” decades before that phrase became a thing.

They should be too dumb to function, but Harry and Lloyd’s absurd stupidity leads them to equally absurd adventures. At the end of the day, they truly do care about each other. Also, Harry is right; you can't triple stamp a double stamp.

Desperately trying to satisfy the munchies, escaping Gitmo and finding a new Christmas tree. Is there nothing these two stoners can’t do?!
