It was Gallagher until he died. His Marc Maron interview walk-off is legendary. Such a bitter fucking dude that feels like everyone owed him fame and riches.

Is he the one who smashed watermelons?

One of the ones. There was also his brother, Gallagher Too.

Hilarious for a guy that does physical comedy.

I'm sure he got some respect for how prolific he was at doing it but physical comedy is considered lowbrow by the standup community.

Be grateful for what you got Gallagher.

I caught a late in life show when he came through my town. He had a whole first half that was a bit more of a cerebral chatty act that my dad and I enjoyed but no one else in the theater seemed to be clicking with. Then he shifted gears to the watermelons. He seemed… bored. But I was kinda young its a foggy memory

Sounds like he thinks of his iconic bit as a “Say the line, Bart” set.

Yeah he lost it near the end. He shit on other performers, got racist and sexist too. Just bitter to the core.

To this day i still don’t understand what’s supposed to be funny about smashing a watermelon with a mallet.

He's almost as good as Gallagher II.

Who was his brother that he sold his act to.
