Nearly 30 years later, Dane Cook still laments blowing his shot at sketch comedy greatness.
The comedian admitted he “definitely felt like I let myself down” as he recently reflected on skipping his audition for Saturday Night Live early in his career after experiencing a panic attack outside the building.
“On my way to my audition at SNL, I had a full-on panic attack,” said Cook on the Fly on the Wall podcast. “I sat on a bench outside of Rockefeller Plaza. And I didn’t go in. I actually called my manager. I said … ‘I can’t do it.’ And he’s like, ‘Why? They’re all waiting for you. They wanna see you. They’re looking for something to fill that void.'”
He said he was scouted during some of his stand-up shows shortly after Adam Sandler left the NBC sketch comedy show in 1995. “And I blew it on the day,...

Here’s who you need to know in “Woman of the Hour.”
Netflix Sheryl Bradshaw (Anna Kendrick)

Based on a true story, Netflix’s Woman of the Hour is both memorable and chilling. Anna Kendrick’s directorial debut is the perfect blend of the crime thriller genre with reality show visuals, and is intriguing and sets the mood right. It’s the 1970s, women’s rights were still a debatable topic, and sexist jokes were the norm. An aspiring actor, Sheryl Bradshaw had moved to Los Angeles in the hopes of establishing her career. But every time she rejected nude shoots or refused to wear revealing clothes, she was made aware that Hollywood did not have a space for her. Sheryl struggled to pay her bills, but her agent boosted her confidence and offered her an opportunity to be on television. Sheryl was selected to join The Dating Game, a reality show where a woman was presented with three potential candidates. The candidates were made to sit behind a screen,...

Exclusive: Dane Cook is set to reteam with Greg Coolidge, his director on the 2006 Lionsgate comedy Employee of the Month, on Guys Night, an indie comedy based on the 2011 Black List script by Christopher Baldi.
The film follows a man who, after hitting a major rut in his marriage, is convinced the only way to save the relationship is to have the ultimate night out with his male co-workers.
Cook will produce, as will Jim Valdez through his Fortress Media Group. Seth Yanklewitz (The Hangover) is casting, with production scheduled for a late summer start. Christopher Barish, Kyle Hayes and Matt Bass are the executive producers.
Breaking out in the late ’90s and early 2000s as one of the biggest comedians in the world, Cook remains among the top-selling, as highlighted by his sold-out performance at Netflix Is a Joke and his upcoming nationwide Live Nation tour, “Fresh New Flavor.

Jason Biggs is opening up about his past battles with alcohol, revealing he used to hide his addiction from his wife, Jenny Mollen.
The American Pie alum made a recent appearance on his wife’s podcast All the Fails, where he admitted that he continued to drink alcohol while attending counseling.
“I’m going to therapy and ‘working on things,’ but meanwhile I’m leaving therapy, having just had a good session, and I’m going to the liquor store and buying a fifth of vodka, drinking it and then driving home,” Biggs recounted.
Mollen said she was shocked to learn that she never realized the extent of his alcohol addiction. “How did I not notice?” she asked.
“I knew how to get wasted enough to where I took myself out of the life equation, took myself out of the present, didn’t have to connect in a way that made me feel things,...

Kate Hudson rocks a familiar look while stepping out for press on Thursday (January 4) in New York City.
The 44-year-old actress wore a fur trench coat that was very reminiscent of the coat she wore in one of her early, fan-favorite films Almost Famous!
While appearing on The View that day, Kate talked about her rom-com How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, which turned 20 years old in 2023, what made it so good, and what rom-coms are missing nowadays.

“Honestly, I think it was well written,” she said. “I think there’s this sort of misconception that a rom-com is supposed to have a certain formula, which it does, there is a formula that works… But it does also start with the writing.”

Kate Hudson knows what makes a successful rom-com, but there’s one piece to the puzzle that is a little more difficult to come by.
During an appearance on Thursday’s episode of The View, the actress admitted that she finds it “hard to get male movie stars to make rom-coms.”
Hudson explained that having the right leading man is an important aspect of the movies. “As long as we can get more Marvel guys to like, you know, ‘Hey, come to a rom-com!,’ I think that that’s a big part of the formula, too,” she added.
The View‘s Sara Haines proceeded to ask Hudson why she thinks there’s a lack of appeal for male actors to take on romantic comedies.

American Pie is one of those cult classic movies that anyone who grew up in the 1990s has probably seen — many times. It was known for its humor and certainly catered to a more adult audience, but it was loaded with characters that nobody could ever forget.
While it’s been nearly 25 years since the movie was released, some of the actors have remained household names. Where is the American Pie cast today?

Jason Biggs was the film’s main star, and he went on to act in movies far beyond American Pie. There have been plenty of film sequels, and he starred in the first four movies, up until 2012.

Perhaps the biggest release of note is something that already enjoyed a successful release for ITV in the U.K. The Sister is the lates thriller from Neil Cross (Luther) and it makes its U.S. debut on Hulu on Jan. 22. 2020 comedies Save Yourselves and Like a Boss both arrive on Jan. 1.

Hulu is kicking off the new year in style next month, with January set to deliver a ton of fresh titles to the Disney-owned streaming service. There’s a bunch of original content landing throughout the first few weeks of 2021, but probably the highlight is the incredible number of classic movies that are going up on the site on New Year’s Day. Whether you’re in the mood for iconic comedies, dramas, animated efforts or sci-fi flicks, there’s something for you on the way.
There are well over 100 films being added to Hulu’s library on January 1st, so let’s just pick out a few notable titles. The full Austin Powers trilogy is among them, and if you can’t get enough of Mike Myers, the first Shrek likewise becomes available. For dramas, there’s Robert Downey Jr. biopic Chaplin, Johnny Depp vehicle Donnie Brasco and Jim Carrey’s The Truman Show.

Aimee Mann knows a sinking ship when she sees one. And she saw the holes in the ballast back at the turn of the century when she asked for her release from her record company so that she could release “Bachelor No. 2 or, The Last Remains of the Dodo” herself. It’s not so much that the majors were going down so much as the marriages between these companies and a classic breed of singer/songwriters going down for the count. In asking for, and receiving, her exit, she was getting a few years’ head start on nearly every other significant artist of a similarly artisan ilk also looking to go independent, either out of choice or necessity.
It could hardly have worked out better: “Bachelor No. 2” not only became a landmark record on its own — with a little cross-promotional help from “Magnolia,” which employed several of its songs,...

This one has been on the list ever since Clothes on Film launched ten years ago. Romancing the Stone (1984), and specifically Kathleen Turner’s character of Joan Wilder in the movie, has long been a costume favourite. Her very visible transition is what makes the costume character arc so fascinating. All kudos here to costume designer Marilyn Vance Straker for her clever and oh-so-stylish work. Turner is of the era – we definitely know it’s the eighties – but not dated, not really in any way now. Her look holds up.
Having worked on some of the biggest box office projects Hollywood has ever produced, the likes of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986), The Untouchables (1987), Pretty Woman (1990) and My Best Friend’s Girl (2008). Marilyn Vance Straker is an undisputed legend in her industry. The video below was a real pleasure to make:

The Cars' Ric Ocasek merged punk, pop and avant garde music to help launch new wave.
Ric Ocasek, co-founder and main singer of the band the Cars, was found dead in his Gramercy Park home in New York City, police confirmed, according to Variety. The songwriter and painter was discovered unconscious and unresponsive by his estranged wife, Paulina Porizkova. Few details have been released, including a cause of death. The NYPD announced Ocasek's age as 75, but NPR says he was 70, according to public records.
Rhythm guitarist Ocasek formed the Cars in Boston in 1976 with bassist and singer Benjamin Orr, who died from pancreatic cancer in 2000. The pair met in Cleveland in 1965 after Ocasek caught a performance of Orr's band the Grasshoppers on a local musical variety program called The Big 5 Show. In 1968, the pair formed a band called ID Nirvana, playing regularly at Ohio State University and area clubs.

He’s never been accused of being too sensitive, and Dane Cook spoke some sassy sentiments during his segment on “Watch What Happens Live” last night (October 16).
Host Andy Cohen threatened Dane with canned cheese, courtesy of CNN’s Candy Crowley, if he declined to answer any question, and that was enough motivation for Cook to come completely clean.
Cohen asked, “Who is the most overrated comic of all time?” to which Dane replied, “Gallagher- he just wasted food!”
From there, Andy inquired as to the identity of Cook’s worst on-screen kissing partner. “Umm… Kate Hudson. Did a movie with her—My Best Friend's Girl—and I think she purposely ate a feast of onions right before the scene. I had to burn her on that one."

Like a naughty little TV star, Alec Baldwin's been teasing the end of 30 Rock, which is likely to end after season 7. I don't know about you, but 30 Rock is my personal choice for the greatest sitcom ever. Yes, I've seen I Love Lucy. And Seinfeld. And All in the Family. And The Mary Tyler Moore Show. And Webster. But 30 Rock packs more jokes, love, and finesse into its 30 minutes than any other series. I'll miss it so, so much.
And that's what leads me to today's topic: the eternal hotness of Alec Baldwin. As Jack Donaghy, he's self-assured and hilarious, but he's found a few others way to be hot in his 25-year career. Nudity is one of my favorite options.
So here they are, my choices for Alec Baldwin's 10 hottest moments. Liz Lemon, look out.
