He was the first comic I ever really got in to. Yeah, the Sledge-O-Matic is what first caught my attention but then I started listening to what he was saying.
Rest in peace, sir.

Where was Joel Hodgson at the time?
But in all seriousness, RIP.

Didn’t know Gallagher spent his last few months so close to me….a damn good comic and one of my first favorites as a kid.
Rest in eternal peace sir.

I know he'd had health problems for years, like heart problems at least as far back as the early 2010s, so I mean, I am glad he lasted this long for him and his family. I think he only ever slowed down touring when the pandemic hit, he was loathe to ever stop moving otherwise.

I haven't seen his material in years, but I remember really enjoying his standup specials on Comedy Central when I was much younger..
RIP. And thanks for the laughter.

I know he became a punchline after the 80's, but you don't rise to that level without actually having the talent to get you there. Gallagher was indeed a very talented comedian and without a doubt at one time one of the very best, and not just because of his popularity. Of all the names to come through the show "Make Me Laugh", I genuinely felt that Gallagher was the absolute best at it. He almost always found a way to break me.

I just saw him in the amazing pool party scene in the weird Al movie yesterday.
Is his brother still alive?

Black Gallagher is currently not a suspect, but according to authorities he is a person of interest.
Jokes aside, my heart goes out to his family and friends. RIP to an icon of the 80s.

Remember when VH1 would show his specials, loved him as a kid and like others said his stand up stuff as I got older I also enjoyed too.
R.I.P. to a comedy legend.
