    Gallagher controversy:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gal…
    At some point during the early 1990s, Gallagher’s younger brother Ron Gallagher asked Gallagher for permission to perform shows using Gallagher’s old routines, and also using Gallagher’s trademark Sledge-O-Matic routine. The idea was that Ron Gallagher, who was unemployed, would tour the country working small venues that couldn’t afford a show put on by Gallagher. Since Ron Gallagher bears a strong Gallagher family resemblance to his older brother Gallagher, the show would be almost like having a real Gallagher show.

    Gallagher granted his blessing to his fellow Gallagher on the condition that Ron Gallager and his managher would make it clear in their promotional materials that it was Ron Gallagher, not Gallagher himself, that was putting on the Gallagher show.

    After a few years of complying with Gallagher’s conditions, Ron Gallagher began subtly blurring the line between his act and that of his brother Gallagher. He would often promote his act as “Gallagher Too,” a moniker Gallagher felt was insufficiently Gallagher informative. In some instances, Ron Gallagher's act was promoted in a way that provided Gallagher no clue to prospective attendees that they were seeing someone other than Gallagher himself.....
