Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The night of the show's taping, the crew set up but through some error gave the actors no access to the bathroom. Just before the show, Denis Leary had to use the bathroom badly but had no way of getting to it. Chris Phillips took a look at the crowd and seeing no way to get Denis to the bathroom without making the audience believe the show had started, handed Denis a bucket. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: The Muppet character Big Bird (performed by Caroll Spinney) sang a quavering rendition of “(It's not easy) Bein' green” at Jim Henson's funeral, not Kermit the frog. more
Quotes:
Denis Leary: Yeah, I'd like to do some cocaine. I'd like to do a drug that makes my penis small, makes my nose bleed, makes my heart explode, and sucks all my money out of the bank. more

IM AN A*SHOLE-LIO-LIO!, 30 March 2002
Author: RyuKenAkuma159 from Kearny,NJ

PERFECT! This was a great special. I have this on CD on I laughed my A** off. Denis is a great actor and a great comic who tells great stories....and great trash talk. his songs are full of hillarious lyrics about serious things. He is my 1st favorite comic/actor. My 2nd favorite is George Carlin. This deserves a 9/10.
