Denis Leary earned a lot of brownie points for his portrayal of Captain Stacy in The Amazing Spider-Man. He literally was one of the best supporting actors in the entire movie despite a cast list that included Sally Field and Martin Sheen, so for the meantime we are going to pretend as if he did not steal material from Louis C.K. long ago and not hate on him.
Lucky for us, it paid off as watching his appearance on Conan last night was one of the most amusing things I have seen from Leary in a while. He told two stories with the second being far better.

Update: As expected, Ice Age 4 continued to perform relatively low coming in at $46 million. It was still number one, but let me assure you that is said with a round of sarcastic applause.

Naturally, that was a topic of conversation last night when Leary took to The Tonight Show as part of his promotional tour for Ice Age: Continental Drift. The interview opened with discussion of Spider-Man and closed with a clip of the new Ice Age movie in which he reprises as a saber-tooth tiger named Diego. Continue Reading
