Great news, everybody. Every date rapist’s favorite comedian Dane Cook has signed a development deal with NBC.
Amid interest from multiple networks, the actor-comedian has signed a development deal with NBC for a half-hour project targeted for next fall. Cook will star in the comedy and produce through his SUperFInger Entertainment banner. [Deadline]
I know that the cool thing for me to do here is to announce my hatred of Cook for his various crimes — the Louis C.K. joke thing, “Tourgasm,” Good Luck Chuck, his fans — but his appearance on “Louie” has softened my distaste for him. He’s actually a pretty decent actor as long as he’s playing someone I don’t like. And while I doubt I’ll want to watch him in a sitcom every week, I’m not going to go out of my way to flame a TV show that doesn’t even exist yet. I mean, I should at least wait to see if it’s worse than “Whitney.”

HEY!
Kill me now please
And if any casting directors are reading this and enjoy the banner picture, let me just say that I’m in no way averse to making network sitcom money.
If this ends up replacing “Community,” I will throw tomatoes at everything that moves.
I would absolutely watch a show in which Dane Cook and Vince wear penguin suits.
He should just join the cast of “Up All Night”…
Aw, twinsies!
And Danger, don’t even suggest something like that.
Where is your Internet spirit. You have to shit on things that might be bad.
It’d be hilarious if his show was exactly like “Louie.”
I always thought that Nick DaPaolo was the official Comedian of Date Rapists.
This news should cheer up a lot of Red Sox fans today.
@EvilTwin
You’re thinking of Joe Rogan
Though I do enjoy my hatred of his fans, (to an unhealthy extent) I tend to agree with Matt. Ever since the scene in Louie, well I just can’t hate him as much if Louie doesn’t. Damn you Louie for controlling my thoughts. And actions. And what I wear and eat for the day.
Go Red Sox…..
Go to fucking hell…
i applaud your restraint Matt
“If this ends up replacing ‘Community,’ I will throw tomatoes at everything that moves.”
This.
Once I know the production schedule, I’ll be able to set up my sniper rifle location.
