Gallagher (born Leo Anthony Gallagher on July 24, 1947) is an American comedian and prop comic. Born in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, he is known for smashing watermelons, Jell-o, and sundry other items with a sledgehammer he has dubbed his "Sledge-o-matic". His popularity is largely based on live appearances on a number of television specials, where those in the front rows of the audience must protect themselves from flying produce with plastic sheeting.
Many of his hour-long specials appeared on Comedy Central.
Gallagher was a candidate for governor in the 2003 California recall election. He placed 16th in a field of 135 candidates (see results of the 2003 California recall).
Gallagher is a graduate of the University of South Florida.
