Gallagher in 1964

Gallagher (born Leo Anthony Gallagher, Jr. in Fort Bragg, North Carolina

Gallagher became famous in the 80’s for his unique brand of prop comedy…
smashing watermelons as part of his act. It is said that Johnny Carson didn’t
like his brand of comedy so he was only able to go on The Tonight Show when 
guest hosts were filling in for Johnny.

Before fame, Gallagher got a Chemical Engineering degree from the University
of South Florida in 1970. After he moved to Los Angeles he began developing
his comedy act while appearing at The Comedy Store on the Sunset Strip.

   John Donald "Don" Imus, Jr. was born in Riverside, California

Imus is host of the nationally syndicated radio talk show, Imus in the Morning
that originated locally on WNBC radio in New York City in December 1971.

Due to failing health and commitments on his ranch, Imus has been taking
more and more time off from the program, often only working the first half
of the shows with the second halves containing pre-recorded material
hosted by Connell McShane.

Don Imus served in the United States Marine Corps for three years and
later worked for the Southern Pacific Railroad before becoming a disc
jockey. He established the Imus Ranch for Children.
