Dane Cook – Some comics resent the ascent November 13, 2006
Posted by khatibda in Uncategorized.trackback
Fascinating article about Dane Cook’s speedy ascent to the top of stand-up comedy, and the brewing resentment against him from other comedians. Some claim Dane is more of a performer than a joke-teller, and that he actually borrows some of his quotes from prior comedians (a claim which Cook denies).
I actually think Dane is getting a bum rap. He may not be at the level of a Richard Pryor or Robin Williams. But you’d have to admit that at least his “performance” is pretty original. And you can’t deny the chord he has struck with the My Space / Facebook generation…
Reminds me of the early Britney Spears fiasco over her talent. Frankly, I think some comedians are voicing jealousy more than anything else.
