That’s one way to get people to hang out with you at your place.
Comedian Dane Cook, 50, divulged on ‘The Tonight Show’ that he “shuttled” people to his multi-million dollar California mansion for a standup show without their knowledge of where they were being taken.
“I brought a bunch of people to my home who didn’t know they were being shuttled to my house for my comedy special,” said the ‘Employee of the Month’ actor.
The comic gushed about his real estate location, telling Fallon that he taped his “Above It All” special on his porch in “the beautiful Hollywood Hills overlooking that exceptional view.”
When asked how he came up with the idea, Cook joked, “I’m a genius.”
The ‘Good Luck Chuck’ star, who performed at massive arenas such as Madison Square Garden, explained that the at-home-taping idea spurred from his childhood days of entertaining neighbors from his own porch during parties.
Cook explained that he had wanted to host an at-home comedy special for some time. Todd Owyoung/NBC“Somebody would get caught up in trying to make the neighborhood laugh, and that’s what I did,” Cook said.
Continuing, the Massachusetts native explained, “Every single year of my 31 years doing standup comedy I was always like ‘that would feel like the ultimate show’ because not only is it big and bombastic but it’s the most personal and intimate ’cause you’re in my home with me.”
