| 1 | Was hired as a performer for the USS Enterprise (CVN-65) 20th "birthday" celebration in November of 1981. He first did an improv in hanger deck two for crew that were on duty using no props and consisted of him questioning crew members and giving comic responses to their answers. But at the celebration itself, the crew proved to be too drunk and rowdy so he walked off the stage. |

| 19 | Biography in: "Who's Who in Comedy" by Ronald L. Smith, pg. 175-176. New York: Facts on File, 1992. ISBN 0816023387 |
| 20 | Candidate for Governor of California. [2003] |
| 21 | 1969 graduate of University of South Florida-Tampa. |
| 22 | His childhood nickname was "Butch". |
| 23 | Famous for his Sledge-O-Matic routine in which he smashes produce with a giant sledgehammer. |
| 24 | Demand for Gallagher shows was so high by the end of the 1980s, that he "franchised" his act to brother Ron Gallagher, who began to tour as "Gallagher II". Promoters would sometimes "forget" to bill him as such, or as Ron Gallagher, though, and Ron frequently got into trouble offstage, causing bad press for his brother and the act. Gallagher finally took him to court, and after a lengthy legal battle, Ron Gallagher was no longer allowed to perform as "Gallagher II", or use any of his brother's material or props. |
| 25 | Has become one of the most successful stand up comedians of all time because of his constant touring and loyal following. |
| 26 | His fans who sit in the front rows of his concerts usually wear plastic ponchos to keep from getting covered in the produce he smashes in his act. |
