P. J. Gallagher is an Irishstand-upcomedian, perhaps better known from his television show Naked Camera. His various characters in the programme include a mentally unstable taxi driver, ladies man Jake Stevens and a "Dirty Auld One", an old woman who makes sexual comments. Gallagher's performances on TV has made him one of Irelands most recognised comedians. Ryan Tubridy has been quoted as describing him as "an inspiration to aspiring Irish actors and comedians" citing "if P. J. can do it, it gives us all hope". His taxi driver character infuriated many well-known, highly respected media personalities in the third series, including rugby pundit George Hook and football presenter Bill O'Herlihy. Gallagher travelled to the U.S. in 2008 where his alter ego Jake Stevens interviewed people such as Erik Estrada and Lou Ferrigno for the television series Makin' Jake. After doing many more smaller TV shows P. J. has returned with a big bang in 2011, with a comedy sketch show which drew the attention of US talk show host, Conan O'Brien. Commenting on Meet Your Neighbors, Conan said, 'That guy cracked me up for an entire afternoon that I forgot to meet my wife for lunch. It's classic comedy but with a twist.' Gallagher's fame has grown from strength to strength along with his abilities which are simply awe inspiring.
