Gallagher Melon Crazy on VHS video. TV short starring Gallagher, Bill Kirchenbauer. Directed by Joe Hostettler. 1984.

From the VHS box cover:

It’s official. Gallagher, America’s most outrageous comic has gone Melon Crazy!

The first warning sign of Melon Craziness is a tendency to collect strange “melonabilia” like huge thirty foot watermelons, watermelon blimps, or three-piece watermelon suits. (And other very strange piece of melon matter.)

The second warning sign is a tendency to hang around with other crazy people like special guest comic Bill Kirchenbauer (Tony Roletti of Fernwood Tonight) who does impressions of xerox machines. And the third sign of melon craziness is the messiest Sledge-O-Matic demonstration of all time. Take home your copy today… and stand back! SPLAT!

Special Home Video Version

With responsibility for world peace, national debt and dessert choices at state dinners, the President of the United States carries a heavy burden. With all that pressure, it seems like a good idea to find him an analyst. Someone to talk to. And Dr. Schaefer (James Coburn) gets the job. Unfortunately for the shrink, the more the President gets off his chest, the bigger the price on the good doctor’s head. Hostile governments want Coburn captured so they can learn what secrets are confessed in the Oval Office. Friendly governments was him killed. What follows is a succession of comic near-misses.
