PITTSBURGH -- Ketchup giant H.J. Heinz Co. is seeing red over a smaller Indiana ketchup maker's use of the term "red zone."

It was almost midnight and exhaustion was starting to get to Jim Gaffigan. Following his show at the IU Auditorium Thursday night, Gaffigan held a meet-and-greet session for his fans. He spent more time talking to his fans than actually performing for them. After spending more than two hours shaking hands and talking, Gaffigan showed signs of being tired. For a guy who reiterates his laziness throughout his act it is surprising he lasted as long as he did.
