I am not familiar with Sarah Silverman.

As for Denis Leary ripping off Bill Hicks, as far as I can recall the only similar bits they have were that whole smoking/Jim Fix thing. And that may just be a coincidence.

Regardless, I still like Denis Leary. Whether he ripped that off of Hicks or not, he still has plenty of his own original material that's damn funny in its own right. I love it when he goes off on the stupid shit his kids do.
