Gallagher’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Gallagher was an American comedian and producer who had a net worth of $200 thousand at the time of his death in 2022. Gallagher was a popular “prop” comedian in the 1970s and 1980s, perhaps most famous for destroying watermelons with a sledgehammer during his live act (a routine known as “Sledge-O-Matic”). He starred in more than a dozen comedy specials, including “An Uncensored Evening” (1980), “Stuck in the Sixties” (1983), “Melon Crazy” (1984), “Overboard” (1987), “Smashing Cheeseheads” (1997), and “Tropic of Gallagher” (2007), and he produced several of his specials as well. Gallagher was ranked #100 on Comedy Central’s 2004 “100 Greatest Standups of all Time” list. He also appeared in the films “Record City” (1977) and “The Book of Daniel” (2013), and in 2003, he ran as an Independent in the California gubernatorial recall election, finishing 16th. Though he had health issues in his sixties and seventies, suffering three heart attacks in 2011 and 2012, he continued touring until the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020. Sadly, Gallagher died of organ failure in November 2022 at the age of 76.
