Jim Gaffigan announced his new comedy special, Noble Ape was going to be released this July. It will be the comedians 6th release and in addition to some of his trademark jokes about his large family and affinity for food, he'll also take on the very serious subject of his wife and collaborator Jeannie's brain tumor and subsequent surgery to remove it.
