Databases selected: Los Angeles Times Television; TELEVISION; Dane Cook, pain-free comedian; Ever wonder what would happen if comedy lost its angst? Just take a look at its new smiley face.; [HOME EDITION] Paul Brownfield. Los Angeles Times. Los Angeles, Calif.: Sep 3, 2006. pg. E.1 Abstract (Summary) "Tourgasm" was a conspicuously slight and infomercial-like ad to boost [Cook]'s rabid popularity among college-age fans; the rest was filler, Cook and his three comedian underlings in various states of homoerotic, roughhousing repose. It seemed more than a little symbolic, in fact, that Cook was blowing up last year while Mitch Hedberg, a comedian whose following mirrored Cook's (Internet fan base, transcendent rock-star aura), died of a drug overdose in a New Jersey motel. Onstage, Hedberg cut an odd Kurt Cobain-like figure -- tall, skinny, beatnik clothes, hair over his eyes. He talked in idiosyncratic, absurdist mumbles ("I tried to walk into a Target, but I missed"; "I don't own a microwave, but I do have a clock that occasionally cooks [things]") and was afraid to lock eyes with the audience. He feared the very thing at which Cook excels -- tearing down the wall between the audience and himselfbut he loved that which Cook doesn't: the economy, the importance, of words.

  • COMEDY CENTRAL(R) Partners with the USO for the New Military Outreach Program 'PVT Jokes' to Deliver Comedy Kits to American Troops
    COMEDY CENTRAL(R) Partners With the USO for the New Military Outreach Program 'PVT Jokes' to Deliver Comedy Kits to American Troops NEW YORK, Sept. 1 -- There's not a lot that's funny about being stationed away from loved ones, but COMEDY CENTRAL hopes to bring some laughter to the troops with the launch of "PVT Jokes," a new military outreach partnership with the USO that delivers comedy kits to forward operating bases (FOBs) as well as U.S. military hospitals at home and overseas. The partnership was announced today by the USO (United Service Organizations, Inc.) and COMEDY CENTRAL. With the goal of reaching more than 200 FOBs and U.S. military hospitals at launch, "PVT Jokes" began distributing kits this week that include CD and DVD donations from COMEDY CENTRAL Records and COMEDY CENTRAL Home Entertainment. Each kit will feature COMEDY CENTRAL DVD titles, including the "COMEDY CENTRAL Roasts" of Flavor Flav, Pamela Anderson and William Shatner, "COMEDY CENTRAL Presents Southern Gents of Comedy" and "Best of COMEDY CENTRAL Presents" stand-up; as well as CDs from comedians including George Lopez, Dane Cook, D.L. Hughley, Norm Macdonald and Harland Williams. More information can be found at http://www.comedycentral.com/pvtjokes/index.jhtml. "Knowing that troops often seek comedy to help cope with the tremendous hardships of war, we knew that COMEDY CENTRAL was in a unique position to make a contribution to the lives of these tremendous individuals," said Kelleigh Dulany, vice president, corporate responsibility, COMEDY CENTRAL. "Through our partnership with the USO, we hope that 'PVT Jokes' can bring a brief respite from the reality of their situation and some levity, however small, and laughs to the soldiers stationed so far away from their friends and families." "This partnership with COMEDY CENTRAL presents a tremendous opportunity to lift the sprits of American's troops who need it the most," said Sloan Gibson, USO president and CEO.
