Dane Cook



An American comedian. He has been called the George W. Bush of comedians, as he might not be considered funny at first, but he tries really hard, and you just want to give him a chance. Other comedians and members of his audience say they would like to have a beer with him. Sometimes called the "Dan Quayle" of comedy by older audiences who remember Father Bush's VP, because there is little substance in his act, but he is so damn cute.

Sometimes mistaken as a Scientologist due to his fervent almost Tom Cruise level of confidence and energy. People confused by his routine often wake up the next day and look in the mirror and finally see their own glibness that had once been just beneath the surface.

He sells himself as a person and he sells his show with good old-fashioned gumption. Occassionally he makes factual mistakes, but that just makes him that much better. Dane (I can call him Dane) understands the importance of marketing, not because he is the comedic equivalent of Milli Vanilli, but because this is a different world we are living in since 9-11.

 * Has absolutely nothing in common with Karl Rove, in fact some people say he is the anti-Rove due to his complete lack of guile.

 * His unshaven, disheveled, jeans-and-T-shirt-wearing appearance is natural and not contrived at all, despite the millions he makes in concerts.
