“I don’t know if people are aware, that was a historic moment.
That’s the first time we were allowed to play the “Asshole” song on online grid television!
We’ve never been allowed to do that,” he said.
Leary isn’t kidding, asthe last time he played the song was onMTV Unplugged.
Naturally, the updated lyrics called the President an “asshole.”
The cast of Going Dutch were in gouda spirits when chatting about their new workplace sitcom with Catherine Tate.
Leary refuted these accusations on theOpie and Anthony Show which, ironically, wasthe same radio showwhere C.K.
made the accusations saying that he only co-wrote “Asshole” withChris Phillips.C.K.
All these years, aside from the occasional jibe, he had pretty much shrugged off Leary’s lifting.
Comedians borrowed, stole stuff and even bought bits from one another.Milton BerleandRobin Williamswere famous for it.
Leary had, practically line for line, taken huge chunks of Bill’s act andrecordedit."
Not everyone who heard “Asshole” came after Leary with pitchforks and torches.
