As you can see from the above photos, Jim and Jeannie Gaffigan are a loving couple. The two not only live and raise five children together, but they are co-writers and executive producers of the new TV Land show The Jim Gaffigan Show. The two stopped by BuzzFeed to play the not-so-Newlywed Game, in which we test how well they know each other. Here's how they fared.
What is Jim's favorite food?
Jim Gaffigan: I had cheeseburger but then I changed it!
Jeannie Gaffigan: That kind of counts.
Jim: It's fluid.
What's Jeannie's favorite food?
Jim: I said "salmon or something gross." So, cheeseburger? Really?
Jeannie: You know that! When was the last time I had salmon?
Jim: I don't know, sometimes you'll get salmon, or mussels, or something weird.
What is Jeannie's pet peeve about Jim?
Jeannie: I don't know where to begin.
Jim: That's a good point. I didn't think of that.
What does he do?
Jim: Nicorette.
Jeannie: He wads it up and sticks it places.
Like at restaurants?
Jeannie: No, at our house.
Jim: It's Nicorette!
Jeannie: But it's gum! He puts it in a ball and, like, puts it on the table.
Jim: It's either that or heroin!
Jeannie: The constant eating, that's also pretty irritating. But it's been pretty great for our career.
What is Jim's pet peeve about Jeannie?
Jeannie: Talking and complaining are similar. I'm always like, "It's freezing in here!" And he's like, "You're always complaining!" The worst thing to hear is that you're always complaining.
What is one word Jim overuses?
Jim: I mean, I did that once.
Jeannie: You say that all the time.
Jim: Essentially!
Jeannie: Well, this was in a book. He wrote essentially like 900 times in one chapter.
Jim: Essentially the hot dog is essentially my favorite food because essentially—
Jeannie: That's in writing. This [clocked] is what you say.
What is one word that Jeannie overuses?
Jim: One word? Yourhorriblejim [sic]
Jeannie: No, I've never said that. This one, though. Everything is amazing. But you don't know you're doing it until after you watch yourself on TV and anything good is amazing.
If Jim was a cartoon character, who would he be?
Jim: Because Shaggy and Scooby, they're always eating too.
Jeannie: That's interesting.
Jim: We haven't gotten one right.
What cartoon character would Jeannie be?
Jim: Oh, that's very similar!
Jeannie: They are in the same show!
What's the last thing you two argued about?
Jim: I said the desk in my office. She's like, "The desk! The desk is always covered."
Jeannie: I always clean it, we have a big table—
Jim: How dare you have a computer on your desk!
Jeannie: He empties out his pockets. But also we're like, "No! Fast-forward, pause!"
Where would you like to go most for your next vacation?
Jim: A restaurant!
What is one thing about Jim that everyone might want to know?
Jim: I did, I wanted to be a farmer.
What happened?
Jim: I was in, like, eighth grade. Growing things felt so good.
What's something about Jeannie everyone should know?
Jim: She only needs four hours of sleep.
Jeannie: Everyone knows that, though.
Jim: That's insane. That's some Napoleon shit.
What is Jeannie's ideal date?
Jeannie: Well, that could all happen together!
