The comedian often shares sweet moments with his family on his Instagram account, celebrating special occasions, including Valentine's Day, birthdays, anniversaries and more.

While speaking to Bedford & New Canaan Magazine earlier this month, Emily and her sisters gushed over their dad.

"My dad is the funniest and most generous and loving person I know," Emily said. "He has a huge heart and everything he does is for us, his daughters, and our mom — who he has been completely infatuated with since 1980. We truly couldn’t ask for a better dad."
