Comedian and actor Denis Leary came up around the same time as O’Brien, even appearing as a guest on Late Night with Conan O’Brien several times to promote his work.
“My parents are Irish immigrants. They come from the same town, Killarney in Ireland, and they came over in like 1950 by boat, but very few of their brothers and sisters came, so the bulk of the family was still in Killarney,” he told Fallon, who is also of Irish descent.
Leary continued, explaining the family connection. “He said, ‘I think this guy is a Reardon.’ Reardon was the name of Conan’s mom. And he said, ‘I think there was a Reardon woman in Worcester, Massachusetts, who lived in a three-decker when your father and his brother Jerry got off in New York. They couldn’t find work solid here, so they went up to Boston, to Worcester, because that’s where this Reardon woman lived and she put them in the basement and got them real jobs, like paying jobs under the table.’”
