Would I be like Jim Gaffigan or Maria Bamford?

I don’t usually watch cable, but the past few days we’ve been staying in a hotel. There are so many celebrities doing commercials I was totally unaware of. Jim Gaffigan does Wal-Mart commercials!

Jim Gaffigan and other super famous people certainly don’t need the money, though I’m curious how much they’re being paid for this relatively easy work.

I’m not to the point yet with comedy that any businesses would be clamoring to have me in their ads, but I’m curious what I’ll say when I am.

I’m thinking I’ll be more like Maria Bamford, who did Target commercials and then decided she didn’t feel good about doing it and stopped.
