Word has always been around stand-ups that Denis Leary stole A LOT OF HIS EARLY ACT from Bill Hicks... And a number of them have always resented him because of it.

Hicks to this day is thought of as the 'comic's comic'...

What, no Michael Richards (Kramer)? Just kidding...although if the last month never happened he may have got a vote. Kind of a Pete Rose situation.

Robin Williams
Red Foxx (ever heard his stand up? excellent)
Don Rickles (way ahead of the curve)
Chris Rock
