Comedy veteran Denis Leary stands as a titan in the realm of humor, having seen and contributed to it all, from standup stages to sitcom scripts. But even as he gazes from the heights of his illustrious career, he remains not only hopeful but thrilled for the comedic promise of the new generation. “You think you’ve seen everything,” Leary muses, “then you see someone else coming who makes you laugh your ass off.”
It seems paradoxically refreshing and right that Leary, who has shaped comedy’s landscape in countless ways, is still enthralled by the innovative humor of up-and-coming comedians. He appears to revel not only in the mirth these new talents bring but also in the constant evolution and dynamism they represent in the comedy genre. For those with comedic dreams, Leary not only supports but encourages you to bring it on, promising to be the first one laughing and applauding as you make waves in the sea of laughter. His faith in the next generation of comedians serves to bolster the spirits of those just starting their journey into the world of comedy.
