Those clips of front row peeps wearing ponchos and rain hats, just to get splatted with watermelon…. it was great stuff. RIP.

Damn, I have fond memories of watching his stand-up specials with my Dad as a kid.

 

[BCClone]

RIP, although he wasn’t my kind of funny. My one college roommate loved him.

We had Stuck in the 60's standup on VHS when I was a kid, I must have watched that thing 100 times over the years.

This explains a lot, it's like your joker origin story.

The Johnny Carson era of comedians is dwindling. Hang in there Richard Lewis.

You merely adopted the sledge-o-matic, I was born in it.

Loved him when I was younger. Older me not so much. Good entertainer though.

I was on a plane ride with him once. From Tampa to Memphis. I knew it was him, because he wore a denim jacket with his name emblazoned on the back in rhinestones, in huge letters. He had a MacBook and had an assistant with him, who appeared to be the most exasperated person on the planet.

Saw him in Ames around 2004 or so. Was his standard routine, not amazing, but not bad. He was particularly focused on the California political situation at the time, as I think it was about the same time as every famous (and b/c list celebrity) was trying to run for Governor.

That’s not definitive proof, I have that same jacket.

 

[cytor]

I saw him live a couple of times. Very funny and entertaining. Sad to hear this.

How many different things did the sledge-o-matic, "process"

Gallagher be up there smashing melons in the sky and showering us all with his juice.

RIP G

****** caviar in first class Janny?

 

[coolerifyoudid]

Imagine being in the first audience to see his act, completely unaware of what was about to happen. I have to think he ****-blocked a few dudes that night by ruining their dates' clothes.

Gallagher did not fly first class. Not even business class.

[Cymon]

Didn't his brother also use the "Gallagher" moniker? Or steal it from him at some point?

Saw Gallagher in Vegas as a teenager. Meh.

Sounds like that could have been Liam Gallagher also. Was he heavily intoxicated?
