Dane Cook and Candy Crowley (CNN journalist) were on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen last night. This is about Dane, even though Candy made some news on the show when she said it’s a very real possibility that Hillary Clinton won’t run for president. So, Dane played “Plead the Fifth” which is where Cohen asks his guests the really interesting personal questions. Here’s the video:
Dane Cook’s most overrated comedian: Gallagher.
His worst on—screen kiss: “Kate Hudson. I think she purposefully ate like a feast of onions before the scene.”
The dumbest thing Jessica Simpson ever said to him (while making Employee of the Month): “She said one day, ‘Are we making a movie?’ That was kind of dumb.”
How many groupies has he slept with? “In my younger days, I would say a few hundred.”
I get tired of Jessica Simpson’s exes bashing her, but I think Dane felt a little bit bad about saying that and honestly, that story is kind of Classic Jessica. The part I side-eyed was that Dane has slept with a few HUNDRED groupies. I’m sorry, but NO. That’s gross and I judge him. I’ve never been one of those “Dane Cook is the devil, he’s a terrible comedian” people… even though I’ve never cared for him, I just didn’t think he was all that important. But the idea of Dane sleeping his way through a tour of college campuses? Gross.

I don’t believe him.
Right? He wishes.
Neither do I …
I only believe him because that number is common for college folk. Especially those touring colleges. He wasn’t bad looking and he commanded the attention of a audience. That is a powerful combination. Add age into it and yea. It’s absolitely likely.
If he claimed it now I would doubt him.
Yup this. I’m of the Dane Cook Sucks camp, but I know MANY women who find him sexy.
Sadly, I totally believe him.
I definitely believe it. Did anyone else ever see the episode of Tosh.0 at ASU? Girl after girl kept slipping him phone numbers, it was ridiculous. Put a man on stage and there will always be women to throw themselves at him.
No matter how ugly, douchey and untalented a man could be, if he’s famous I can guarantee you he’ll have no problems finding women willing to sleep with him.
I believe it. I don’t judge him for it either, as long as they were all consenting adults. That being said…I wouldn’t let someone with hundreds of partners dip their toe into my pond. 😉
I did see that Tosh episode. Every other person gave him a number.
Who is he??
He looks like Ben Affleck’s and Steven Segal’s son

Sometimes( often) i don’t understand the american jokes
Nooooo! Please don’t associate Dane Cook with American humor, Frenchy.
I second Kitten. Dane Cook is largely regarded as a complete hack. We’ve got GREAT comedians right now. He wouldn’t even make a top 10000 list, IMO.
…said the 100 or so college students, with an abundance of regret. The same group has set aflame a pile of Nickelback CDs in a symbolic gesture of obliterating past bad taste and choices.
Thank you! He’s the Nickelback of stand up actors!
*snort*
Yeah exactly, Kiddo.
What would be worse: having hooked up with Dane Cook or a member of Nickelback?
Not aging well either, is he?
i was in high school/college when Dane Cook was huge and I know so many girls who would’ve hit that with him…however, i literally can’t even watch his stuff without being nauseated. never thought he was funny =\ ugh.
Ewww. I don’t know anything about him,. but on looks alone….he has a douchebag face and isn’t attractive. He looks smug.
Yes… I saw him live my first year of college, after hearing friends quote him incessantly. The show was okay, but there were SO MANY “older” girls (probably not even 20) lined up afterwards to meet him. I thought it was weird and desperate because he didn’t seem particularly smart or sexy… and looking back, he probably slept with some of them. Ew. I’m probably connected to Dane Cook through my college’s sex web. EW.
I believe it. (And yes, it disgusts me!) While working all-nighters on the college paper, we’d play his CDs over and over. Men and women LOVED him. You were a dope if you didn’t get the Dane Cook references, and couldn’t finish his jokes. I can only imagine the groupies he waded through.
I gotta admit – I still have a soft spot in my heart for his old stuff. I love the joke about “Karen”! And there was a (SMALL) fire at the hotel I was staying at a few weeks ago, and we were all barefoot. “Look at that guy…HE HAS SHOES.”
Really? I didn’t know he was huge at one time. I’ve only seen one if his comedy central specials & I had never heard if him until that movie he did with Steve Carell.
I mean, back when he was big? He probably had five years where he could have pulled a different girl every night. Say he slept with one girl a week for 5 years? Thats 260. I’ll buy that.
Did you go to my college?! I worked on the newspaper with a girl named Karen, and she’s the first person who introduced me to him… she loved the Karen joke.
LOL – probably not, but maybe! I went to CUA in DC 🙂
I have to admit I also loved the Karen joke (a.k.a. ‘The Friend That Nobody Likes’). But that was one of the very few. Also it worked BECAUSE he is such an obvious douchebag.
Major eyeroll.
Yeah right dude.
Sadly, there are desperate college girls who’d sleep with him, thinking he’s got $$$ or something. But I doubt it’s been hundreds. Maybe like five or six.
It’s not the money–it’s being with someone who is on stage, a “STAR” making people laugh and holding their attention. You have no idea how attractive that is to a LOT of these young girls.
He’s horrible. I used to like his comedy until doing some research led me to find he was ripping off other comedians who had come before him, so I stopped watching his specials. I absolutely believe that number because he thought he was God’s gift to women and women were throwing themselves at him. He is a jerk of the largest magnitude and I wish he’d go away and stay there.
“he thought he was God’s gift to women ” you cant really blame him for thinking that when
“and women were throwing themselves at him” why would he think he wasnt if that was the case?
I caught part of his stand up once, I think it was on HBO or some cable channel? He was making fun of women with large inner labia. It was just mean and crude. I turned it off. I was in my 20s and no one I knew that even heard of him liked him. I guess his demographic was teens.
Thank you. I remember that and I had the same reaction to him.
don’t let chris noth find out.
Hey Ag, you’re representing me on a case in the Amal thread, so you know.
i advise you plead almost innocent.
Gross, unsurprising and gross.
man, he has such a punchable face.
“Dane Cook’s most overrated comedian: Dane Cook.”
Fixed that for him.
I was going to say the same thing!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I was totally thinking that too when Andy asked him that!:)
I believe it.
Fame can make lots of folks attractive (unfortunately) .
Slowly morphing into Mickey Rourke. Lay off the botox, dude.
Ben Affleck with steven segal!
Gross. All the diseases, dude. All the diseases.
He seems to have toned down on the neck beard. I sincerely wish the stubble would go out of style and I can’t understand why it exists. Forgot to shave or growing a beard, OK, but the deliberate stubble is worthy of sneers.
As a human regardless of what gender you are, wouldn’t you feel disgusted and self loathing for sleeping with people after people. Wouldn’t you just look at your life and think, “what the hell am I doing”. I’m no prude and myself have slept with my fare share of men. But this was in self discovery, searching for love ( in the wrong way) & later from binge drinking.
Not necessarily… I’m sure the vast majority of people like Dane are using sex to fill insecurities or satisfy addictive or self-destructive impulses. However, for people who know and love themselves very well but also happen to enjoy sex very much, I don’t think it leaves them empty. If you’re well-adjusted, confident, and have no desire to be monogamous, I don’t see how it’s a problem to sleep with a different person every night. Some people just view sex differently, so I wouldn’t make a blanket statement like that…. even though I’m someone whose sexual partners were also mostly accumulated for the wrong reasons.
You’re practicing a very moderate form of slutshaming.
If people have lots of consensual relations with others for fun there’ no harm. No need to feel gross. As long as you’re not doing it as a type of self medicating which is possible.
We all say don’t judge on the last Noth post, but what exactly are we doing here? Judging someone for sleeping with lots of people in their younger years? If it’s all consensual why so judgy?
Yeah I agree. It’s his business how many people he sleeps with. As long as it’s consensual then I’m not gonna judge him for it.
Ok. But he still seems like a creepy man who took advantage of young girls who found his “status” appealing. (“took advantage” isn’t the right phrase – they got what they wanted) That and his sense of humor make me think he’s a creep.
But there IS, harm, FLORC – it’s not like STI’s aren’t a real thing! This “slutshaming” nonsense is out of control. If people are going to treat their bodies and health like one big petri dish, there is absolutely nothing wrong with shaming this disgusting behavior. Not to mention, if he’s sleeping with “hundreds” of women there’s potential for “hundreds” of unwanted babies – it’s all a big fustercluck of disease and negative consequences. So over people acting like sleeping around is not only something that isn’t shameful, but something to be celebrated. It has nothing to do with reclaiming one’s sexuality or going against patriarchical notions of sexual propriety, among other ludicrous arguments I’ve seen. There is a reason why there are strains of STI’s that no longer respond to normal courses of antibiotics/treatment. When will people get it through their head that this behavior is not only gross, but absolutely dangerous? Damn right he, and anyone else, should be shamed for acting like this, and if he’s going to put it out there for public knowledge, it isn’t just “his business”, Kitten.
HoolooPie
You assume he used no protection, yes?
During my undergrad I worked at the student health center. Every week we had at least 14 new cases of student needing treatment for a new sti/std. I’m not saying it can’t be dangerous. It can be. If neither took steps to be careful.
Regarding STI’s and antibiotics. This is a subject that irks me to no end. Finish your damn perscription! You have antibiotics?? Take the whole bottle. Or else you risk getting a resistent strain.
That is why we have that. Not because people slept around and created this new strain from only that.
I had fun in college. I always had protection. I have no issues from that behavior.
I’m not preaching it should be celebrated. I’m saying everyone should be safe about it.
@HOOLOOPIE I agree with everything you said!
Back in 2005 I was really into him as a comedian. I thought he was funny. Some of you think you’re so special for not finding some people funny. Get over yourselves.
Yup!
Everyone is using hindesight here. He was funny. Not long lasting funny, but his star shot up very quickly and he was the big “get” for a good stretch of time.
If you actually read the comments, you’ll see that many of us ALSO found him funny in 2005. Then we learned more about him, or were exposed to better comedians, and changed our tune. The fact that you say “back in 2005” tells me you grew out of it, too… so why the resentment?
BB
Debatable. People changed their tune once he approached his peak. Not hit his peak. People see the experation date approach and they jump ship.
This doesn’t surprise me. Has anyone had the misfortune of seeing “Good Luck Chuck”? The sex scenes were quite explicit. Basically soft core pr0n and he was doing it with a dozen women. I’m sure he slept with some of those women off screen too. He seems like his Good Luck Chuck character in real life. Just sleazy and gross. He looks awful these days. His face is really bloated.
Jessica Simpson talked trash about her exs. And others she denied even knowing out of post hookup shame. Some of those she didn’t just deny. She made it sound so outrageous she would ever be caught in the same room as some of them. Remember Bam? This is hardly trashing Jessica and she has done far worse. Why the pity for having bad deeds returned and why the shaming of someone who got around? Because it’s Dane? A guy? A comedian we all don’t like years after his star fell?
How anyone could ever hook up with Bam Margera escapes me. And don’t forget that Adam Levine is on that list too.
Hey………… Bam was cute at one point. I had a MINOR crush on him in eigth grade. But it was really all about Ville Valo then. I’d still tap Valo if I could.
What has she said about exes that is trash talking?
Diana
Size of their pieces. She spoke of only negative points.
cleanliness. Money. And she was linked to a few people she claimed she would be caught dead with. It reminded me of how Britney Spears did with Fred Durst on TRL.
you do realize Bam apologized and refuted his comment. Not sure why the hate but you coukd say the same about every celeb out there.. If you believe all media then everyone slept with everyone and its called gossip. I would suggest there is a lot you dont know about Jessica other then tabloid drama
Anon
Suggest away. That’s a big assumption though with a blink analysis though.
And are you suggesting people take back their statements and that’s the truth? Because it happens quite often a celeb pressures another into taking back their statement. Like Mowry and CT.
He made the statement. He didn’t pursue it for headlines. I’m betting it was very real judging from behavior and aftermath.
I would sure like to see a direct comment from Jessica about any EX. Please point me in the right direction I would definatly like to read. Thanks!
Anon
Double post?
I replied to you above. I know you can find that stuff on this site. The most recent I believe was here when Jessica spoke of how small Nick’s piece was as casual conversation for some time.
Mmmmm Ville. Though as much as I love him, Linde is my squeeze. Yum.
I believe him 100 percent. Years ago I worked at a comedy club when his star was on the rise and he had throngs of women waiting for him before, during & after the show THEN–and this was pre-fame & pre-college circuit. He was cute, funny (especially to the younger crowd), and had a nice body. He’s absolutely telling the truth.
I believe him. Only because back when he was at the height of his fame I would have slept with him. An ex and I went to one of his shows back in Atlanta. I believe it was his last tour that was on HBO back in 2009. It’s always been said girls love funny guys and assholes. He is both.
I believe him. In high school he was super popular. Even at college in 2005 we all loved him. He became uncool in like 2008 but I have no doubts he was very popular with women, especially college girls.
I think he never achieved much success outside of the USA because I just found out who he is. Just watched a YT video of him. Eh. It sounds like typical American frat boy humor. Guess I’m not a part of his audience.
What’s happened to him? He looks like he’s aged 20 years since “My Best Friend’s Girl”. Looks bloated and weird.
I believe him.
Look at rapper,Lil Wayne he is ugly and short and probably slept with hundreds of young women.A lot of people are seduced by fame,money,power .They don’t care about looks.
Never thought that he was funny.
Gallagher (May he RIP) was funnier than this dude. I want to crush a watermelon with a Sledge-O-Matic right in Dane’s face!
I could see it. He isn’t aging well, but he was actually fairly good looking in his younger years. While his work turned me off later, some of his earlier stuff was fun, so I can see where the appeal came in. Does it strike me as kind of gross? Yeah. But it sounds like it was consensual all around and everybody understand the game, so no harm in the end. If he was/is still doing it now, that would be repulsive.
He was actually a really good host when he was on SNL. He’s had his moments of decent comedy, but he just got more and more douchey.
