Denis Leary was one of my first star sightings in New York when I moved out here in 1993. I had pitched an idea to do a story about a local clown in Manhattan who did high-end children’s parties. His name was David Friedman but his clown name was Silly Billy and I went to three of the parties where he entertained and one of them was at a pizza place on the Upper West Side. The person having it was a Vice President at Comedy Central and Denis Leary was doing some specials for them at the time. We go to the party and I look over and there’s Denis Leary sitting with his wife and kids. After Silly Billy did his act, Denis Leary when up to him and started asking him what he charged and other things and he was just like he is in his comedy acts kind of like he’s got a little too much caffeine in him. I remember him asking Silly Billy over and over that if he hired him he had to bring enough balloons for every kid. It was like, “Now every kid has to get a balloon, I don’t want you showing up and then half the kids don’t get a balloon. You will have a balloon for every kid, right?” It just cracked me up how he was grilling him about it. Maybe you had to be there, anyway, here’s Denis Leary doing his song, “Asshole.”
