There’s a very intriguing article here about how most comedians don’t particularly care for fellow comedian Dane Cook, a feeling made doubly worst because Cook, who has developed a movie career (”Employee of the Month”) along with a high-grossing concert tour, is quickly becoming the biggest name in comic in 2006. One of the comedians who doesn’t think Cook is very funny is former SNL’er Jim Breuer, who says no one speaks well of Cook, and believes Cook steals material from other comic. Now I’ve seen a ton of Cook’s act, and I even have his comedy CDs, but I don’t think he’s the funniest man alive or anything fanboyish like that. (Then again, I never believed all the hype that Chris Rock was the funniest man alive, either, or Dave Chappelle, or Richard Pryor…) But you know, the dude is pretty funny, and you gotta admit, his shows are insane and worth the price of admission.
