Comedy legend Dane Cook joins us in the studio to talk about his new documentary, ‘Funny Money: The Dane Cook Story,’ which chronicles his meteoric rise to fame and the devastating betrayal by his brother and former business manager, Darryl, who stole millions — $12 million to be exact — from him. Dane opens up about the moment he discovered his fortune was gone, the questions that remain unanswered, finding forgiveness, and how humor helped him heal. Plus, what it was like relinquishing editorial control of the documentary, hearing his former sister-in-law and Darryl’s co-conspirator, Erika McCauley's, account for the first time, and how he almost got Darryl on record for the film too. We also get into his early days of stand-up, using MySpace, Napster, Kazaa, and LimeWire to build an audience online, revolutionizing arena comedy, and how his onstage persona has evolved over the years. Dane reflects on having a panic attack during his first SNL audition, eventually returning to host (twice in 12 months), meeting Martin Short at SNL 50, the enduring influence of his late mother, 20 years of ‘Vicious Circle,’ the changing landscape of comedy, his upcoming stand-up, and what's next. Let’s just say this Funny Money story is not over.SUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55uSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
