Comedian Denis Leary is a frequent guest on The Daily Show. It is clear that he and Stewart have a long friendship dating back to before they were famous and their exchanges have the teasing quality of good friends relaxing together, though Leary’s humor has always had a slightly edgier quality. I quite often skip the celebrity interviews but enjoy Leary’s appearances.
He made another appearance during the final week of Stewart’s run as host and it was fun to watch.

I had never heard of Bill Hicks before so looked up his Wikipedia page. Thanks for the tip.
