Before They Were Stars: Denis Leary on “The Rascals Comedy Hour”

Denis Leary started to make a name for himself as a stand-up comedian while performing in Boston throughout the 1980s, but his first televised appearance came in 1990 when he performed on a New Jersey-produced show called The Rascals Comedy Hour. If you thought Leary looked wired in his stand-up acts before, he must have just buried his face in a mound of cocaine before this set.
