After Gallagher's death, Marc Maron revisited that 'intense' 'WTF' podcast interview
The comedian, whose first name was Leo, died Friday of organ failure in Palm Springs, his longtime manager said. He had been in hospice care.“We got into it because he had gotten a reputation for being a bit of a bigot and a bully and doing old, horrible racist and gay-bashing jokes,” he said.
Gallagher died Friday of organ failure in Palm Springs. He was 76. He was best known for his comedy specials in the ‘80s where he would smash watermelons. In Friday’s intro, Maron said he has “empathy for the guy” and that he “kind of [loves] this interview.”
