Dane Cook hosting SNL

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on November 29th, 2005

Dane Cook (website) will host the Dec. 3 Saturday Night Live.

The dream that I had in 7th grade is about to become a reality. I’ve been asked to host Saturday Night Live! December 3rd! I did this with my stand up comedy. Not a tv career or a film career. I did it because I was a good guy with great intentions. I never got caught up in anything beyond the simple idea of bettering myself at this craft that I love and respect. More than anything I am doing it because my fans are some of the sharpest, coolest comedy fans on this planet and you got behind me and never left.

Mr. Cook is on a roll. He may not have snagged his SNL hosting gig via the movies, but he has been in one or two. And he’s about to be in yet another– There’s this from Softpedia:

Jessica Simpson is in negotiations to star opposite stand-up comedian Dane Cook in “Employee of the Month” for Lions Gate Films, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The Dukes of Hazard star will portray a sexy cashier that makes the employees at a discount superstore go ga-ga, while Cook plays one of two dorky workers who are vying for her attention by competing for the Employee of the Month honor. Lions Gate is eyeing a spring start date.

Mr. Cook’s price just went up. And, with the breakup of her marriage, Ms. Simpson’s price probably went down. Might there be equal billing when it’s eventually released? We shall see.
