Leo Gallagher
Leo Anthony Gallagher (born
July 24,
1947), known commonly by just his last name, is an
American comedian and
prop comic. Born in
Fort Bragg, North Carolina, he is known for smashing watermelons,
Jell-o, and sundry other items with a sledgehammer he has dubbed his "Sledge-o-matic". His popularity is largely based on live appearances on a number of
television specials, where those in the front rows of the audience must protect themselves from flying produce with
plastic sheeting.
Gallagher was a candidate for governor in the California recall election. He placed 16th in a field of 135 candidates.
