The thieving fucker stole most of his material from Hicks and even robbed his style and delivery.


There's a joke in comedy circles....and it goes a little something like this :


Q : Why is Denis Leary a popular comedian?

A : Because there is no cure for cancer.


Alluding to the point that if Hicks had not died Leary would never have made it onto television.


Hicks famously told an interviewer: "I have a scoop for you. I stole his (Leary's) act. I camouflaged it with punchlines, and to really throw people off, I did it before he did".
