Jim Gaffigan's new stand-up special, "The Skinny," premieres on Hulu on November 22. He attributes his slimmer appearance to the appetite suppressant drug Mounjaro, which has changed his relationship with food. Gaffigan humorously compares his past love for McDonald's to a "weird crush," expressing surprise at his previous enthusiasm for the fast food chain. He acknowledges that Mounjaro was originally intended for diabetes treatment. The comedian reports losing 50 pounds and feeling better overall. He initially had low expectations about the drug's effects but found it helped him manage his appetite.
