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

From Rolling Stone https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-news/gallagher-watermelon-smashing-comedian-bigoted-jokes-dead-1234629556/amp/

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.”

I saw him live this century.

Mean. Hated his audience. Bombing for what felt like hours and just bitter the whole time.

GREAT EXPERIENCE!

I loved Gallagher! My mom and I used to watch his shows on TV. I remember the big tricycle, the sledge o matic, and all his wordplay jokes…. I still tease my kids with, why do you wear a pair of pants but only one bra?! Why do you drive on a parkway and park in a driveway?? RIP.
