AB  - We present the discovery and characterization of 29 hot and warm Jupiter systems transiting bright (G < 12.8) FGK stars using TESS data and ground-based photometry and spectroscopy. Through the use of high angular resolution imaging, we discovered three bound stellar companions, named TOI-3988 B, TOI-6171 B, and TOI-7266 B. The planets that we confirmed span an orbital period range of $1.28 - 16.9$ days, a mass range of $0.35 - 8.7$ M_J, and an orbital eccentricity range of $0 - 0.6$, and add to the growing self-consistent sample of hot and warm Jupiter systems detected using TESS and analyzed using the Markov-Chain Monte Carlo code EXOFASTv2. By performing two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests on a set of host star and planetary parameters, we find that this growing self-consistent sample of giant planets has a different distribution of host star masses, surface gravities, and metallicities, compared to the hot Jupiter and warm Jupiter systems in the literature, likely due to the additional constraint on the host star density from the planetary transits included in our global fits. We find that seven of the 29 newly confirmed planets have significant orbital eccentricity, and that one of these, TOI-3365 b, is in a system which likely hosts a massive outer companion. The continued confirmation of hot Jupiter and warm Jupiter systems and the follow-up RV monitoring on these systems to identify outer companions will pave the way for important investigations of giant planet migration.
