Shannon says the character is shaped by how she felt following childhood tragedy (via toofab)
She said that the Gallagher was first created during an improv exercise ahead of a comedy show during her time at New York University.
The character, she explained,"was really based on me, how I felt after the accident — really nervous, accident-prone, wanting to please, f--- up but full of hope." Shannon said she"just exaggerated everything I felt as a little girl and turned it into a character." Gallagher went on to become one of her most popular characters during her run on"SNL" and even got her own movie,"Superstar." While a successful bit, it came with its fair share of injuries -- ones she said she didn't feel while filming but would only discover the next day.? I didn't care if I cut myself or I made myself bleed. I did not give a s---," she told the Times."I looked at it like punk rock.
Shannon can currently be seen on HBO Max's hilarious"The Other Two," which returns for its second season on August 26.
