I'm very interested in how this turns out. I personally have never heard of Jim Gaffigan and Louis CK has steadily been gaining mainstream popularity. When music artists did this, didn't their popularity have a significant part of their success?

Jim Gaffigan is hilarious.

  Yeah. Gotta watch him, if only for the skit about hot...pockets.

    Just YouTubed this skit. Not funny. Forget the $5, I want my 5 minutes back.

Jim Gaffigan is a fairly well known comedian. Almost a million followers on Twitter, 11.5M views on his YouTube channel, Comedy Central specials, etc.

> When music artists did this, didn't their popularity have a significant part of their success? Yep. Nine Inch Nails was very successful. Saul Williams' Reznor-produced album, released through the same mechanism and heavily promoted to Nine Inch Nails fans (advantages that wouldn't be available to most) didn't sell very well.
