Denis Leary on WGN Morning News: Why We Suck

[Actors317]

This interviewer OBVIOUSLY doesn't watch RESCUE ME.

[soojb7799]

LOL, What's happening at the beginning?

[SithianHawk]

Denis and Bill actually started off at the same time and were friends during their early comedy years. No one stole anything. Both are/were extremely talented comedians. I don't know why Bill raised such hell over the No Cure for Cancer stuff. Bottom line is that Bill is dead, Denis is alive and very successful.

[houston56able]

Leary=typical, boring, white kid that wanted to be famous. Yet, he stole a very bright persons' act and pawned it off as his own and achieved main stream media fame. Leary fuckin blows. Along w/ his followers

[cetnikz]

@houston56able Lighten up Francis.

[TheWammer420]

@houston56able gimp gimp gimp gimp gimp gimp bill hick gimp gimp gimp gimp, give it a fucking rest. hicks is dead leary is still alive get over it

[xxdiogenescynicxx]

This guy sucks, he is a total hack. He stole all his material from Bill Hicks.

[Darkez982]

@xxdiogenescynicxx

Oh yes of course... 'ALL'. Ignorant or what.

[Detroitsownson]

@xxdiogenescynicxx

Redid it, improved it, made money.  A comic tells funny things, a true comedian says things funny. Bill must still be alive like Tupac and Elvis because Leary still has been doing it way after Bill has been dead.

[TheWammer420]

@xxdiogenescynicxx r u an asshole? oh wait u like bill hicks an u wont stop goin on about it so yes u r an asshole. typical

[TurboPieRecords]

@xxdiogenescynicxx he did, Denis is a bitch.

[jimmy2k4o]

"my mothers a irish immigrant, she came here from ireland" yeah denis thats usally where irish immigrants come from

[Eeyorewatch08]

LOVE Denis Leary......he speaks his mind, and is funny as hell!!!!!

This interviewer is a complete MORON........don't interview anyone, unless you read the freakin' book, or know about who you are interviewing........

He is lucky Denis was being nice.......it could have been worse for this interviewer!

LMAO

[TheSpamspamspamspam]

No offense to Americans, but i would never move there.

[Mistah00d]

@TheSpamspamspamspam that's ok we don't want you.

[TheSpamspamspamspam]

@Mistah00d It's a good thing the feeling's mutual.

[p717]

Dennis Miller II

[lolandrew4]

Amen.

[Checkerface1]

This "Hack" is one of the only celebrity's I recall reading about on 9/11 who actually comandeered a rescue crane to help the NYFD extract survivors from the towers, and in my opinion is one of the only true americans left in terms of blunt honesty, and a testiment to freedom of speech! Which I find both honering actually kind of sad at the same time! Because, in this country, the only real purity we have left is our freedom of speech, and it takes someone being this crass to reflect it!

[SharksRule86]

@Checkerface1 True. Steve Buscemi, who was a firefighter before becoming an actor, also helped out at the rubble site.

LEARY THE HACK

[olqutseg]

Denis is a no-talen assclown who stole material from Louis C.K's stand-up to write his namesake song ''Asshole.''

The general public's ignorance or indifference to the above fact is a large part of the reason this man has done so well.

[sshatchell]

If hearing that you sucks makes you angry and all of a sudden. One is in denial of the facts. Then what makes us different from countries that REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY SUCKS! If you put Americans in a really messed up country, and we were then in control of a middle eastern country. You bet your ass we'd get off our asses and acquire the self respect we had in the 1700's. Now were are fat lazy and stupid because we think we are top of the food chain. Folks! Those days are gone!

[LaughorCryYouChoose]

Finally someone who has the guts to put it all in perspective. This book is GREAT and very, very funny. I agree 100% with Denis Leary. Also, I'd like to add that this country is in denial. We spend money we don't have. We all dream of being skinny while we eat all day long. And we actually believe what info commercials tell us. Hello, if it takes 30 minutes to convince you to buy a product, then it "ain't" good. This book is anything but mediocre. Way to go, but I still prefer cats.

[150133]

mediocre hack. go do a ford commercial you no-talent sellout.

[misterhaha]

@150133 woah woah woah. HACK????

Youve gotta be some sort of numbnut with a few chromosones missing to be able to say that. unless you infact knew crap all about Denis Leary

[150133]

He stole his whole act from Bill Hicks. He gained fame from a lie then sells out and does truck commercials. He is not even funny, and plays that fake anger role pretty hard.

[egrewing74]

Stole? Really? When did Hicks EVER talk about Dr. Phil or Hillary Clinton? There are only so many styles of comedy and people emulate (look it up) who they like.

[LoganMcclane]

Watch another video then asshole.

[150133]

shut your cocksucker you faggot.

[LoganMcclane]

You'd like that, sadly I like women.

I'm sure your dad would be more than willing to oblige for you though you inbred son of a bitch.

[150133]

He's a sellout. Once a person sells out like him there is no use listening to him anymore. He's not doing it for the passion of doing it but now just doing it to make money. Once a corporation tells you what to say and do, your not the same person. YOU BECOME A SELLOUT!

[angelaohgolf]

this book is frigging hilarious! you gotta read it. i would literally lol in the library!

[brunoofthesheikra]

my local library had it, had to check it out.

I laughed so hard i almost puked. Mainly because he made fun of american pop culture [ie: britney, oprah, etc]

[ihagtafuith]

What is up with this camera guy? Seems like he wants to go to the bathroom, you know when you cross your legs to stop the flow and move back and forth, that is exactly what he's doing lol

[Giannamanzella]

Leary's "A Cure for Cancer" stand up was hilarious, and I brought it to the Cancer ward for my Mother and so the other patients could listen to(it was a cassette). For over 2 hours I swear everyone forgot about their cancer and laughed their asses off. To me he is a true Irishman, and I will always remember the laughter I heard and the smiles I saw at the hospital that day he truly does have a heart of gold. Thank you !

[LedKashmir]

That's awesome to know :) thanks for sharing that.

[themooddisorders]

Leary can push the boundaries! He can push it all! Let's talk about ATHEISM?

[LedKashmir]

"Oh look, now he's copying Carlin...and Hicks...blah! blah! Blah! BLAH!".. SHUT THE FUCK UP!

[randomguy1774]

I want to write a book called "why denis leary sucks". trust me, I could write a fucking trilogy on why he is fucking lame.

joke stealing piece of shit.

[LedKashmir]

But here's the thing...i don't care....Leary is one of my favorite comedian's, so...i don't give two shits and a fuck what you or anyone else thinks. Why..oh WHY...do you waste your fucking time watching Leary on youtube if you hate him so much? huh? that makes no fucking sense to me..i don't watch shit i hate just to dis it!!

[themooddisorders]

Hicks would die laughing! Who cares?

[s3xyb3astsixty9]

why does it seem that on all these denis leary videos people are talking about how they hate him? what point are you trying to get across and why are you trying to make it?

[Mnwthoutfear]

He's still funny.

[TheCrisisKings]

amen

[AriannaDemina]

He said point blank he doesn't hate America. You obviously didn't listen.

[nilo4ever]

@AriannaDemina

And abviously you can't read. I never said he or me or anyone else for that matter hates America, only the fact that he knows about the problems and that he's trying to make people more aware of them so they can finally do something about them.

To criticize doesn't mean you hate it, on the contrary, it means you care and wanna do something about it.

[disgracefulangel]

I love how he says that it is ridiculous that Republicans look down upon Bill Clinton for getting a blow job when Democrats do the same thing when a republican does that. Fucking partisan. What do you expect he is a liberal? Of course he hates america.

[mongolenpup]

lol...now he's copying Carlin...everybody wins, everybody gets a trophy...fuck this dipshit.

[MrMood2010]

Dennis leary gets famous by stealing jokes from everybody including Bill Hicks.

[nilo4ever]

It´s funny to see ignorant Americans who can´t handle the truth about their country giving him the thumbs down because he´s opened his eyes LOL. Dennis Leary is AWESOME!!

[baseball33122]

I agree with you, but please don't lump all Americans together as ignorant...you are absolutely right though.

[OldTroll11]

@nilo4ever And he has the stones to be the bearer of bad news

[clammax]

@nilo4ever yeah im `15 and i love this book

[lakerdude42]

Should have just wrote a book about himself. Fuck leary.

[jamike7]

this dipshit interviewing him was saying that his show is on usa network. Clueless

[Anita29dk]

Just got the book...it's awesome .. wish I could meet him, he is so funny!!!

[djf510]

I read the book in one day, was lucky enuf to meet Denis and had him sign my copy. He's awesome!

[Upgrayedd2Ds]

me too dude. Where did you meet him? I met him the day he did this interview at the Borders in Chicago! Really cool guy, funny comedian, awesome actor.

[djf510]

I met him during the Rescue Me Comedy Tour, earlier this year. He came to Atlanta and was cool enuf to sign my book and take pix after the gig. Really awesome family man. I plan to meet Adam Ferrara next week when he tours thru here with his Funny As Hell appearances!

[djf510]

Oh, I'm a chick! ;)

[Upgrayedd2Ds]

Oops. Sorry about the "dude" comment then.

[maltemer]

Another reason why America sucks is that you're not allowed to swear on national television.

You've just gotta love FCC and hypocrites.

[kamason2006]

just got this book yesterday and i think it is truly amazing!

[mehhh15]

Wow. So politically incorrect. Work on your act, Dennis. Come up with something original. I loved you in "Demolition Man," and on "Rescue Me," but you need to come up with new stuff to stay on top. I get it - you're Irish - Amazing. Hooray. That might work on people who went through Ellis Island, but Jesus Christ, come up with something truly funny. Seriously. What next, OMG - I know a Jewish guy - and he's JEWISH! Holy Shit!!! Please don't let comedy devolve....

[shaolinwisdom]

You have to EVOLVE first to understand "The Leary" Work Your Mind, He's never not been on top. You write a book & Actually get it published & make it on the NY Times Bestseller list he made it to the top 5 so if you can do that & I'lll agree until then Fuck You. Period.

[junfanjohn]

That's not shaolin wisdom, that's shit! Change you're name to something like "Ibitchandmoanabouteverything"

[shaolinwisdom]

HA HA you got (-4)

[ddl74]

Is the cameraman think he's Scorsese? Denis is great, glad to share the same last name. Rescue Me is one of my favorite shows.

[daviduhrinek]

why the crazy camera work .... it makes me ill

[cinaed84]

Its 'hip' and 'modern' and ... wait no ... 'annoying' and 'stupid' is what i meant to say.

Crappy camera work aside, great book.

[bandwagonretards]

hahaha, this camera guy was probably some kid they found on criagslist who would work for free.

that or the morons told him to be "artistic and edgy" or some bullshit.

[1ataloss1]

this guys HILARIOUS

[rakattack23]

your the best denis

[knallerten69]

i will fuck your skull in 4 ours

[cvkline]

What the heck is with this camera work?

[ajmurphy21]

WOW Michael J Fox could've been a better camera guy

[HazeGreyAndUnderway]

Hahahaha. Dennis is good. Ever hear his song "Im an asshole?" Soooooo good? Hahahahaha...
