Dane Cook, one of the most well-known, influential comedians of all time, sits down with Jen Eckhart on this special episode of the REINVENTED podcast! By age 35, Dane became the second stand-up comedian to ever sell out Madison Square Garden. Fast forward to today, Dane discusses navigating the world of stand-up comedy and leveraging MySpace in the early 2000s to reinvent his career to what it is today. The duo also talk about his epic comeback, the significance of self-funding his brand new comedy special “Above It All,” his unfiltered thoughts on “cancel culture,” and why he refuses to Google himself on the Internet.
Dane Cook also shares how he turned to comedy as a coping mechanism after losing both parents to cancer nine months apart from each other, and discusses his support for the Stand Up To Cancer charitable foundation. Jen asks Dane about his career-defining moment after turning down his SNL audition that sent him on a totally different trajectory, his love of Star Wars, starring in the film Mr. Brooks with Kevin Costner …and so much more!
