    Dane Cook Research Paper

    Many people know him as the funny and rugged face of comedy. He is Dane Cook. Sort of the anti-Mitch Hedberg. For others, he is a posterboy for an altogether different type of comedy: the plagiarizer, the man without a punchline. Personally, I have long held that Dane Cook is a performer and not a stand up comedian, in the way that Bob Villa was a TV show host and not a licensed contractor. For the better part of a decade, you couldn't be handed a transcript of a Dane Cook set, read it, and think it was funny. There just weren't any JOKES in the conventional sense, just a lot of stage direction and exclamation points where the punchlines should be. This technique, of course, has made Dane very successful, frequently selling out stadiums and…

    Leno's early acts drew from his life experience: growing up in New Rochelle, New York, and Amherst, Massachusetts, attending Emerson College, and enjoying popular culture. His college education affected his act in an unusual way at his first stage booking. After learning about American Indian history, he refused to do a skit filled with stereotypes of American Indian culture. The writer changed the skit to suit Leno, therefore, he agreed to move forward with the show. Despite Leno’s initial success guarding others’ dignity while on the job, his own career success required more trial and error. He spent about 15 years working his way around the comedy club scene, sleeping on friends’ sofas, and often performing for no…
