Dane Cook Never Wanted to Be a ‘Frat Comic’

<p>Dane Cook was, for a brief time in the mid-2000s, the most popular comedian on the planet. Then, as the rockstar cliche goes, it all came crashing down. It turns out his story is more complicated than that, as he lays out in this episode. We talk about his humble Boston beginnings, why he turned down the chance to replace Adam Sandler on SNL and how he has continued to push himself as a stand-up comic with his first special in over a decade on the horizon. Cook also opens up about his joke-stealing feud with Louis C.K., his own “cancel culture” moment and a lot more.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Follow Dane Cook on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/DaneCook" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@DaneCook</a> and Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/danecookn/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@danecook</a></p><p>Follow Matt Wilstein on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/mattwilstein" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@mattwilstein</a></p><p>Follow The Last Laugh on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lastlaughpod/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@lastlaughpod</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Tour dates and tickets at <a href="https://www.danecook.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">DaneCook.com</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Highlights from this episode and others at <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/franchise/the-last-laugh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Daily Beast</a></p> &#10;&nbsp;<br /><hr><p style='color: grey; font - size: 0.75em; '>See <a style='color: grey; ' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
