Denis Leary launches new comedy to rock your summer

They play father, daughter and dysfunctional rock stars in Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll. Actor Denis Leary and actress Elizabeth Gillies join Tracy for a quick chat about their over-the-top comedy, which is back for a new season on FX!

Denis Leary writes, stars, directs, composes, and executive-produces the half-hour series. Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll follows washed-up former musician “Johnny Rock” (Leary) who finds out he has a daughter named “Gigi”, played by Elizabeth Gillies. More talented than he ever was, she wants to reunite his band from the ’90s, but with her as the band’s frontwoman. The series chronicles the new band, known as the Assassins. In addition to Leary and Gillies, the comedy also stars John Corbett, Elaine Hendrix, Robert Kelly, and John Ales.

Comedian, author and actor Denis Leary (Rescue Me, The Amazing Spider-Man) is a five-time loser at the Television Academy’s annual Emmy® Awards. He has lost in both the drama and comedy categories. In leading and supporting roles. Not to mention writing. Leary hopes to one day be nominated for – and more than likely not win – an Oscar®, a Grammy® and a Tony® Award. In his long and storied entertainment career, Leary has also never won The Stanley Cup, The Nobel Peace Prize or an argument with his wife.
