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.

Leo Anthony Gallagher, Jr. (born July 24, 1946), known as Gallagher, is an Americancomedian and prop comic, known for smashing watermelons as part of his act.
Early life
Gallagher was born at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. He grew up in Lorain, Ohio, until he was 9 years old. Because of his asthma he then moved to South Tampa, Florida, where he attended H.B. Plant High School. He graduated from the University of South Florida with a chemical engineeringdegree in 1970. He also received a minor in English literature, which he uses often in his skits to mock the language. According to his mother in a 1991 interview in the Nadig Press, Gallagher despised fruit, particularly melons, because she tried to force them on him to help with recurrent constipation in childhood.
Career
After college, Gallagher began working as comic/musician Jim Stafford's road manager. Stafford and Gallagher traveled to California in 1969, during which time Gallagher decided to perform himself. He began honing his own comedy act while frequenting both The Comedy Store and the Ice House. He was repeatedly denied appearance on The Tonight Show in the 1970s and 1980s, as Johnny Carson disliked prop comedy. However, he was liked by some of the program's staff, and Gallagher eventually performed several times on the show when guest hosts were filling in for Carson.
