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.[2] 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.
