[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He is one of those celebrities that you thought already passed a long time ago.  When was the last time his name has even come up?[/quote]

Apparently he turned pretty racist and homophobic in his later years.

Gallagher himself was still performing regularly, though, at this time, his act began to take a hard right turn. In 2010, the Seattle-based alt-weekly The Stranger published a review of a Gallagher show, describing the comedian as a “paranoid, delusional, right-wing religion maniac.” The piece documented a set filled with xenophobic and racist jokes (including several directed at then-president Barack Obama), as well as a plethora of homophobic bits. At one point, Gallagher even reportedly encroached on serious white supremacy territory, proclaiming, “We’re descended from an Anglo-Saxon Viking tradition.”
