Afterdrive Online

When I was newly married, my husband & I LOVED to watch AFTER DRIVE...it was so good...we always sang the theme song! But there was no outward evidence on the planet that this show really existed, until now! Denis was a nobody...and Billy Kimball? CRAZY! Thanx for the memory! Even now, 17 years later, we wish that our kids could experience the Denis we knew and loved...Our eldest boy came home from a day out with his grandparents and his dad singing "I'm an A=*ole"...HUGE Leary Fans here! Now, we can't wait for Rescue Me to resume but where is Billy Kimball? I always wondered if it was Sarah Silverman's Jimmy Kimmel but I don't think so...

I thought this was the greatest show ever when it was on, but then again I was only 15 at the time and spent most of my free time riding my bike to the mall, playing video games with my dorky friends, and crying to REM's Green Album. This was a talk show in the early days of Comedy Central, before it was even called Comedy Central, when the channel was still called "HA!" The great Denis Leary co-hosted with a guy named Billy Kimball, who himself was the host of "Clash", another "HA!" show on at the time. As I seem to recall each show had a theme. One was about monkeys, specifically about how much Leary hated them. In it Leary told a great joke that went something like: If you take a hundred monkeys and put them in a room with a hundred typewriters, after a few weeks you know what you'll get?-- A hundred typewriters with monkey crap all over them. That one had me rolling for days. I'm serious. Good work guys. I still remember it fondly after all these years.
