Comedian Jim Gaffigan (1966) built a stand-up empire on clean, food-obsessed comedy like his famous "Hot Pockets" bit, and his memoir "Dad Is Fat" became a best-seller. He headlined the Hulu special "The Skinny," played Governor Tim Walz on the season 50 premiere of "Saturday Night Live," and dropped "The Bourbon Set" in 2025.
Actress Cree Summer (1969) broke out as Freddie Brooks on "A Different World" and became one of the busiest voices in cartoons as Susie Carmichael on "Rugrats" and Elmyra Duff on "Tiny Toon Adventures." She's now the school librarian Ms. Inez on "Abbott Elementary," and she picked up Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance at the 2025 NAACP Image Awards.
