Jim Gaffigan plans to debut new hour long comedy special online for $5

Announced today on his Tumblr, comedian Jim Gaffigan is going to release his new hour long comedy special, for $5 and will donate $1 of each sale to The Bob Woodruff foundation, a charity for Veterans.

Gaffigan writes:

I am confident that the low price of my new comedy special and the fact that 20% of each $5 download will be donated to this very noble cause will prevent people from stealing it. Maybe I’m being naïve, but I trust you guys. Besides who would want the karma of stealing money from wounded Veterans? Come on you guys. How dare you even think about it?

 

What do you think about this new distribution method? With Louis C.K.’s moderate success and great publicity, can we soon see a change to the old method of content release? Talk about it below or head on over to our forums to chat it up.
