Gallagher, comedian watermelon smasher dies at 76.
I find it odd that people mention the last ten minutes of a 75 minute performance, but never note that Gallagher was the original "Jim Gaffigan" or "Jerry Seinfeld"; his observational comedy was every bit on the level of the more contemporary comedy names. His skit with the 10 foot high couch was unlike any I'd ever seen, before or since. I thought he was more original than anyone since.
Imagine doing half a show on roller skates.
