Yup, you guessed right. It aired on A&E in 1992, I updated the description. Most of my other vids so far are from around this period as well, though I wasn't absolutely sure so I didn't write anything. Thanks.

Umm obviously you have never watched an entire Denis Leary special along with an entire Bill Hicks special. Sure, take some joked out of context and it might look like plagiarism. But if you watch each guys' specials in their ENTIRETY you can clearly tell that while they do touch on a lot of the same issues, the punch lines are different.

so since bill hicks talked about smoking and drinking and drugs does that mean no one else is ever allowed to talk about the same topics ever again? because you just said exactly that. good job on being a biast, closed minded piece of shit fuck face of a retard.

I don't care if he stole material or not, he's still an awful comedian...

[PixelPwner]

Bill did it better when he wrote it

I like Bill Hicks, but his fanboys are the most irritating people on Youtube. I won't deny that Leary may have stolen a few jokes, but to go and say that his whole persona is stolen of Hicks seems kinda excessive. They both spoke of the same subject matter, but with a different delivery. Plus, the whole ''asshole comedian'' stchick is directly lifted off Carlin and Lenny Bruce anyway.

his good but youre fuckign nuts if you dont think he raxed some jokes

[GhastlyCretin85]

leary stole bills act. it's not even up for fucking debate. some jokes he copied almost word for word. don't fool yourselves into believing otherwise.

@phillyfan345 bullshit i have watched both and leary blatantly steals jokes and ideas for material,as leary said oh actualy as hicks said 1st, whinning fucking maggots !

[leiefilm]

he look like the bad guy from the crow

[JumpinJesuits]

@SMALegacy05 Of course not... But just the same, how can you really say that it IS genuine of Leary? We're really in the same boat as far as this goes, wouldn't you say? What seals it for me is that back in the late eighties, Bill and Denis were friends. Go type in "Bill Hicks" in Wikipedia and scroll down to "Hicks and Denis Leary"... It's essentially both sides of the story and some other lady's side to it. Honestly, I've yet to see or hear anything viable to the contrary.
