Donating YT 30K Club Member | Anyone old enough to remember Gallagher? My husband, dtr and her friend and I went to a comedy club for the first time and saw Gallagher. He was on TV back in the day. He smashes watermelons etc. and is pretty politically incorrect in his humor. It was a really funny show and the hour before he went on he came by everyones table to sign tickets and have pics taken.

Living My Yorkie Dream Donating Member | YES I remember Gallagher. He was one that could always make me laugh out loud. LOVED the watermelon smashing!!!! I can still recognize his face; just a little older....aren't we all. He never did have a head of hair so I'm not surprised that he's pretty bald......except for the back????? That is his hair right? It looks gray/silver at the roots and has color the rest of the way.

| Yes, I do remember! He looks a bit older but I would have recognized that long bushy hair! Were ya'll close enough to the stage to get to wear panchos for the watermelon smashing bit? Did he do that?

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Lol, I got a kick out of the pictures, he seems to have a "photo face" in the pictures, you know, same expression for each picture. That may be part of his problem, he finds something that works well, but doesn't ever want to change it. The slegematic was a hilarious skit, and was extremely popular, but it became his only skit. He had lots to say, and I enjoyed his political humor, but everything turned to the smashing watermelons, and I wished he had taken a risk and left that out, but I guess after a while, too many people were expecting it, and he didn't have a choice. I had a huge crush on him, and I'm glad he's doing well.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | We got their early and sat in the back. It was a very small comedy club so even the farthest tables were close!! He only did about 10 minutes of smashing mostly politically incorrect jokes!!! He said that he was banned from TV in '79. He is definitley a lot older looking but so a I!!!!! Thanks I love the peace sign!! So glad it is cool again!
