( CNN ) -- Comedian Jamie Kaler knows a universal truth : Women love a man in uniform . Sadly , he just ca n't fit into his anymore . `` I ca n't snap my dress white bottoms anymore -- I think I put them on for some girl a few years ago . '' But these days , the former Navy lieutenant can barely even get his pants all the way up . `` How does your thigh grow bigger as you get older ? '' However , those pants used to fit a really funny sailor who never took things too seriously . `` I got lowered off of a helicopter onto the ship , and I 'm cracking jokes , '' he recalls . `` And they 're like , 'This is not funny . ' And I 'm like , 'Look at me ! I 'm Chuck Norris ! ' `` It 's been years since Kaler served , but what used to get him in trouble in the Navy now fuels his comedy . And while some fans may be familiar with his stand-up routine and the show `` Kaler '' on SiriusXM 's Blue Collar Radio , most people know him from his past role as the `` drunken red-headed guy '' on the TBS comedy `` My Boys . '' This summer , Kaler will re-team with his `` My Boys '' co-star Mike Bunin for an original series with DirecTV called `` On Deck with Jamie and Mike , '' where they 'll tour some of America 's best baseball stadiums . He also just completed filming for the feature film , `` The Wicked . '' Kaler sat down with CNN for a video interview in Chicago to discuss life in the Navy , which , apparently , can be a little dirty . ( Read : Everybody stinks . )
