DCN Live vs. Landscapers: Dane Cook's $12M Betrayal

Poolside, Johnny Mac shares an afternoon comedy news update, reacting to the trailer for "Funny Money: The Dane Cook Story," a video-on-demand release arriving September 29th about Cook’s brother Darryl stealing $12 million while serving as his business manager, later pleading guilty and being sentenced to prison. He says the documentary could reignite interest in how big Dane Cook once was, then notes Jo Koy’s sixth Netflix special, "Blue in the Face," premieres September 15th and revisits Koy’s Golden Globes Taylor Swift joke bit. He highlights a New York Times piece about comics pivoting from video clips to scrollable text-and-image slideshow jokes, mentions an incident of a man using recording “pervert glasses” to harass comedian Diane Morgan during a shoot, and spotlights Irish comedian Sean Haggerty’s new 80s/90s “nostalgia room” opening Saturday.
