Abstract: For any finite group $G$, Thompson proved that, for each $chiinmIrr(G)$, $chi(g)$ is a root of unity or zero for more than a third of the elements $ginG$, and Gallagher proved that, for each larger than average class $g^G$, $chi(g)$ is a root of unity or zero for more than a third of the irreducible characters $chiinmIrr(G)$. We show that in many cases "more than a third" can be replaced by "more than half".
