Dane Cook is a smarmy misogynist douchebag (on NBC)
Really quite rich person Dane Cook has finally settled on the comedy pilot that NBC hoped to develop with him, because Dane Cook is famous and rich. Also, because building sitcoms around single-cell personality comedians such as Whitney Cummings and Chelsea Handler gives the network marketing department a much-needed break from finding the fleeting moments of slapstick that might sell an episode of Parks And Recreation. No doubt Cook’s Next Caller Please—the previously reported script about an “alpha male” satellite radio personality who gets on the nerves of his new feminist, NPR-bred co-host played by Colette Wolfe—will be far easier to promote, given Cook’s recognizable, inherent alpha male-ness as a man of means and female admirers he finds sort of pathetic.
