today on larry king now dane cook the come again i goes under oath on his new tour you want the truth from a comedian you want to go up there and be as blunt and honest and kind of say the thing that's on everybody's mind i knew going into that day that it would probably be one of the most emotional days sort of returning to where my career started where i grew up plus i tell performers do not google yourself google other people you would mire and read the crap about them and you'll feel better about yourself all ahead on larry king now. welcome to larry king now actor and standup comic dana he broke records with the double platinum album retaliates in the highest charting comedy album in three decades and now they ms back on the road this fall with his no two or under oath he

also voices the lead in disney's three d. animated film planes a spin although the cars movies it's out in theaters august dying you and disney. by the way what you just said that's going to be my new ring tone if. it's going to write or call me and just hear that beautiful introduction i'm seeing all these commercials full planes it looks wild it's wonderful it is it is truly like the epitome of that dynamic family adventure film which you know growing up i love those things i love when i'm a hundred people write yeah the you know it's about the world of cars so you've got that they where the planes are all interacting with one another and it was playing a you i played dusty cropper i'm a crop duster who dreams of being in this magnificent. race around the world this is my first animated feature film what's different about doing that

. well first of all just the experience of like going into that dark reign you know you go to the dark room you see a movie and it's that experience of like sitting there in like. you know seeing something for the first time but it's the flipside of like i am creating that moment you know a little kid is going to walk into a room with his parents he's going to sit down he's not going to know what to expect and i'm creating a jaw dropping moment which is just kind of an incredible almost responsibility but it's such a blast i've shown it pieces to a couple of friends who have kids and just the look when they start to see the animation and then you know hear my voice come through they you know immediately drop and just can't take their eyes off it it's wonderful using your regular voice or you do a little action my regular voice yes the range and version of my regular boy also did the producers at the hollywood bowl did you know played the nazi. as one of the great roles of all time it was you know meeting mel brooks and having him come to

me and just say i want you to really hear the first thing he was concerned about our memory was he was like you going to get that accent i want to make sure you have that very good very good that morning my blade my so that was an incredible experience and one that i'll never forget i was like us i was a song and dance man though coming up even before stand up i was too cold porter plays back in really in high school and oh yeah i was billy crocker anything goes and i was dazzled vest cames and i was a stand up comedy cummins that is. really just always admired stand up comedians i loved watching johnny carson what i was a kid i would sneak up to watch him with my family and even though i was young and didn't always understand maybe the tone of the jokes or maybe some of the political stuff i was just i couldn't take my eyes off johnny carson i was transfixed and in hearing people laugh and in love with my makeup people i do a lot of that when you stand up to invent. sions and stuff and just too funny they

often like making people laugh there's nothing like there's nothing poorest people when they don't want them to go left there's not a high when you're a singer on stage it's totally different because you don't do you know how well you're doing when you're singing it is different because you know the goal is knows what musicality of standup is like our i'm going to receive and then you know get back to you when when i hear that the laugh is starting to dissipate but with the song you're you're with that band you're locked in and you just kind of go and i want to get to the to the new tool but first let's clear up something or write that you're supposed to do a concert you didn't do the concert and then you're going to make it up to the people what happened. i think you talk about the concert last year i know i did i did actually did a concert in boston i did a big show in boston and it was an incredible evening we did it for the one fund which was to benefit families and victims of the boston bombings and i

went back into the show and we did a big show boston garden a lot of entertainers came back aerosmith was back there they got like new kids on the block everybody basically who kind of come out of boston but there was some confusion as to how they would. show the concert online some people thought it was an audio feed some people thought it was going to be a video feed and because i didn't have all the information i chose to just do the show i said i'll just do the show for the people who were in the room and unfortunately the people that were watching it wanted to see it at home felt you know they felt kind of bamboozled out of being a part of this wonderful event they didn't get to see and that was very frustrating for people and and therefore it was you know people kind of lashing out towards me saying like why didn't you allow your performance to be a part of the show so as part of my tour i'm going back to boston i'm doing a big show and i'm giving one hundred percent of my proceeds to the one fund so my

way of saying to. lost and you know if there was anything misconstrued or you thought selfishly i did something and i'm here to let you know it is a good want to seen it home because it is all the material in iran two or during that material it wasn't necessarily the material it was that it was some adult material and i was about three hours into the i knew i would be three hours into the performance and i got to tell you something larry it was like i knew going into that day that it would probably be one of the most emotional days sort of returning to where my career started where i grew up and i'm backstage taking pictures with you know first responders and families and. i got to tell you like it was tough to even perform that night and i've been doing it twenty three years and it's never tough to perform but on that night it was it was it was a really difficult thing to kind of collect yourself and get out there because of the how personal it wasn't just a charity event for somebody that you were affiliated shortly this is my whole life that i'm returning back to to to be a part of this night so it was it was difficult it was

a difficult day for everybody involved in then when the show finally went on it was it was an incredible show it was one of the greatest things that i've ever been participating in but it was unfortunate the way after things got cleaned up thank you thank you you knew stand up tour this fall why the name under oath wider oath. i've always loved strong titles for my comedy albums i think some people you know. affiliate each title with a time in my life comedy is personal you always want to put as much of you know what's really happening in and around your life and i think that the one thing that that came through the last two years of me working on this new performance was. comics there's so much kind of backlash with comics as far as like what should comics be allowed to say and not say and i think that the comics kind of get we're getting the brunt of a lot of these stories that were coming out of the news and i felt like it was ironic and kind of over the top way of saying like listen i'm

a comedian you want the truth from you want the truth from a comedian you want us to go out there and be as blunt and honest and kind of say the thing that's on everybody's mind nobody wants to have their hands tied when they're seeing a comedian so it was my little way of saying it starts in d.c. i'm starting in washington d.c. and what you hear from me is all going to be one hundred percent my truth there's no holding back no holds barred and you know my fans know that that's the kind of show i get a notice that choosing a place from all of the news but you can see madison's who have been right why smaller venues i never got to do with the other tour i actually skipped that i had i was in the club scene for a lot of years and then through the you know kind of college shows that i was doing that exploded and i never got a chance to play some of these beautiful houses and that's that's kind of part of the story a little bit more intimate you know the diehard fans get to be you know right up close and personal but i get to be in these beautiful you know edifice where i've never performed before each time until the internet age you build a fan base online through my space or yeah you go that route. i was spending

a lot you know you know a lot of comedians larry there's a lot of downtime in that world you know you're kind of waiting for that performance that night and it can be frustrating you know it can be a lot of languishing and sitting around you know eating cereal and watching daytime soaps. i was not content to do that and i really was raised with a dad who was kind of a hustler my pop was a he loved starting businesses he loved self promotion and i had kind of a thirst for that so i was like how can i electronically find fans shake hands through the internet politically to pay my rent you know to meet a few people that might want to come out and see my show and i saw that it was it was a much quicker way to be affiliated with people that were fans of my stand up comedy and it just grew in those first couple years in a way that i never could have dreamed i'd hoped but never could have dreamed or seen do you still google yourself. i google you as well.

i mean yeah you're a child of the internet but you gotta be careful to be careful google googling yourself because there's a lot of haters so give called the hater net lottery because really yeah that's because it's kind of like a place where you know people it's almost like a dark alley sometimes the internet you know there's a lot of anonymous people that want to you know kind of jump out with their you know with their strange a pip unease about who they think you are or what they know so i tell performers do not google yourself google other people you admire and read the crap about them and you'll feel better about yourself do you handle criticism well i think so i think because i've been so. interwoven with my fans and fans will really tell you like it is that they're disappointed in something and they feel so close to you they're not afraid to say like what was that why did you what made you want to do that so if you're answering directly to the fans then i think that keeps you on point you went

on to louis c.k. show low. and you confronted he accuse you of stealing his jokes about five years ago louie you know had had reached out and basically said you know i think that we have some similar material and he was frustrated about it immediately you know suddenly i was like this you know this isn't the case you know i pride myself on being a person that. you know i never stolen anything in my life look at my whole kind of history my track record that's not what i'm about him plus i've got hours and hours and hours of material that you know if you look at it or not the case but he was he was pretty adamant he was pretty adamant at that time and some years went by and it was it was painful but you had to kind of just i had to you know speak to my fans and let him know that you know that wasn't the that wasn't the case but when louie came to me with a show and said listen you know i think it's kind of time to clear the air on this and i've written an episode that's basically about you know the situation and i

flew to new york and i went to his office and i'll never forget this he said you know i have this i have this and i'd love for you to read it and tell me what you think and i thought like i put it on a farm go to my hotel and read it he said no i want you to read it right now with me here in the room i said for the first time just read it with you and he said yeah we did that we just sat there read it was very cathartic it was very healing and by the end of it except for like a couple little questions it was like i can't not do this it was wonderful he's he's brilliant and i felt like it was closing the chapter on a kind of a how to know how to close it was that he forgive you did he say you didn't steal what we know really was that he wasn't about closure you know if you watch louie show it's it's not necessarily about kind of you know having that button like a joke at the end it's really just about opening up the conversation and allowing people to see him like they were two guys we had an experience and he accuse you during the conversation. did he a key i think he made mention of it during the conversation and but i. he wrote me

kind of saying back to him like you know in my way you're bonkers to think why would i do that if why would i jeopardize a b. and c. for a couple of promises so he let us hash it out in you know using his verbiage and you know he's so happy with that i was very happy with it i was very happy and i felt like i feel like especially for my family and my fans it was really letting go of something that was kind of unnecessarily being dragged along before television before the internet in everything comics so comics all the time because they played nightclubs you saw the guys act the hype will see it again for two more years he's in boston yoga and i would hear these stories of course milton berle i mean when they use each other all the yeah but once you know when certain guys started making their money in entertainment it really changes that you know philosophy what's life like today and offstage we'll find out after the break. more like.

what is on your cultural phenomena like the bank of new policies i think you know either.

pleasure to have you with us here on t.v. today i'm going reception. with that would dane cook he's going to be in the new movie planes which i can't wait to see the trailer is great thank you they really did it with the judge does they did fun for the whole family the other day find you for this john lassiter you know pixar he called me actually as i went to an evening of pixar music at the hollywood bowl and i went backstage to just say hello to john and he said you know i've got something i'm working on i'll talk to a few months and you hear that hollywood in a few months or like that's you know that's rare that somebody follows up but he called me up and he said i've got this new franchise that we want to launch and would you be a part of it i could have said yes quicker i was so excited to show my nieces and nephews and family like this is something i never never done before julio comic

idols i have a lot i mean a lot of you know those young comedians specials on h.b.o. growing up i love martin short on saturday night live i don't think there was anything like it john ritter. but i got to mention johnny carson and then the greats like you know prior and carl and. i knew more than a lot and when he started talking when he thought it was a straight comic i did the destructive sort of the weatherman and he had an incredible moment carl and i think one of the most incredible. is far as like a comedian really establishing who they are in memory he had a cardboard cutout of themself as the wacky weather man and he went on and to do stand up now he had the long hair and he was a little bit more you know and he said you may know this guy this is the old george carlin but this is me now and he left the cardboard cut out fall out of frame and he basically was saying oh i'm not doing that anymore i'm doing this new thing and please follow me now i'd start was so brilliant new and he was very willing was a friend of mine udall of lenny and lenny was

a brilliant coming out of the. ed wrap it up really and comic you met jerry lewis recently i do i saw his documentary last summer and he was nice enough after to give me his phone number which i thought was a fake number. but i called it and he's just been an incredible mentor and friend and jerry lewis is i mean jerry literally. said you subject you won't touch i don't think you can really put restrictions as a comic i think that's more dangerous to tell yourself i may not be able to you know. conversation a certain area so i try to not put any restrictions but it's never malicious i don't think it's anybody wants to you know get there or your face pounded in by a comedian it's all going to be no longer legals is all and yes he can still be kind of comedy but it can come from a place of you know that's light so you play with the audience we sometimes you have to you know sometimes it especially when an audience member might you know

yell something that's course or you know maybe an unreasonable topic of their own you never know what kind of heckles going to come at you i don't think that you want to put restrictions on on comedians if you're in that room and you're coming to see a standup comedy show i think you have to kind of check your own sensibility at the door and allow yourself to go with the flow that's part of what's happening in that room freedom of speech the ideas of a comic directly to you no interference no standards and practice nothing that's that's that's that's glamorous that's a beautiful thing to be a part of a lot of comedy is based on tragedy yes absolutely yeah i think that the simon said that all of his plays. all of the odd couple was based on his own families the wars right i would not have been a comedian if if we didn't have so many you know trials coming up you know i dad who dealt with alcoholism you know we were you know welfare at some point my life you know real tough times but if we weren't laughing i don't know what would have

happened were you a funny good child kid. very very anxiety attacks panic attacks i was i was really the very exact opposite of a class clown whatever the i was the you know kid skulking kind of in the back of the room hoping not to be called on less than me or on my show on c.n.n. we discuss your brother darryl who's currently serving time in prison sentenced to six he is pleading guilty twenty eight counts of larceny. taken always be the tragedy portion of. these over the. and did yes still quite a bit you turned in your brother had to he was a bad guy you know he needed to be punished he was he was not a well person and it was a you know i think i mentioned this on your show before that's family that's the ultimate betrayal when your own family will you know put you in harm's way so he had to be punished for you know what he did and it was

a great lesson for me at that point my life with a little bit of perspective that you know i had to be able to really take care of myself and my business me personally the other family members feel about. everybody who's understood that he was you know not not doing things your way as the violence and he took the police so we didn't but i did have to read a victim impact statement it was the first time i'd seen him probably in several years and that was pretty wild to because i love i love my brother the guy that i thought i knew i adored keep in touch with him and i've never spoken to him since really what about when he gets out. i threw a party now. that's all i know i don't know i mean it's you know i i don't want to say that there would never be any communication or you know we all have to find forgiveness at some point in our hearts so it's you never know i'm open to anything any kind of the use of in your act i have i did say one thing when i know that he

was a former prison he was a corrections officer when i hired him and then he came to work for me full time and i remember saying on stage one night you know i hired my brother to protect my money not help it escape. so we have a video question from our friend eric our tell of daily rehash watch how do you like to follow on twitter and also do you find that there is a great testing ground for your sanity or most of it is actually a pretty good testing ground material wise but again different nothing beats out live crowd you know feedback but i think it helps as a writer you know it helps comics to kind of really hone especially since you have to be so concise on twitter you know you really lose that extra real estate who i follow i follow a lot of news i enjoy news i follow mr larry king. yeah i'm kind of a news junkie. ok we have some social media questions for am on twitter as well as allowed to stand in front of thousands of people and make them laugh. it's one of

the greatest things it's almost undescribable i bring a lot of comics out on the road with me and i put them in front of those fans because i say you know having eight hundred twenty thousand people at the same time get it you'll never know right off nor hand and k.m. on twitter wants to know when did you want to be a comedian and an actor when did you choose that as a profession i don't you know i think originally i want to be a ribbon dancer for. a little bit of time. and then i remember just you know again watching saturday night live and watching comedians probably junior high school you know fourteen fifteen i said i'm not going to college i've already decided i'll graduate high school and upon the pavement going to be a stand up and again david velasquez on google as how do you deal with hecklers. you have to go for the throat sometimes because they'll take over the show you know a good hackler sometimes there's really good hecklers i had a guy one time stand up at my show and i'll never forget he just the whole crowd

still laughing ever he stood up and he said i've got seven problems and you're five of them said to me on stage it was this incredible moment i was like it really made me want to know like what were the other two problems that from five of your seven problems what could possibly be the other two but night after night you never know what somebody is going to get up and throw a little james on instagram wants to know will you ever tour overseas especially australia i've been down to australia i did some great shows in ireland a few years back i'd like to do more international tours so we're going to do this run of under oath in the we'll see where it goes from there under oath is starting now september tickets on day dot com now i start in september and it'll be you know theaters all over the country think how long is the tour till late october dame cook dot com that's it ok natasha we go on facebook as what kind of movies would you like to star in who would you be a dream costar. well i mean i've done

a bunch of comedy films but you know getting able to do a drama being able to do a drama from time to time i did a film with kevin costner a few years back called mr brooks where we're playing a serial killers and it was really remarkable to you know in capsulated take on a different character i'd like to do some more things of that nature outside the box we now have a little game called if you only knew but if you have a kiss first girl i ever kissed was. jennifer stanislaw so where was the boston where was it was on her boob you know it was. the i did there come on. up for that so i know is back in boston thank costar you learn the most from. probably kevin costner most memorable stand of experience standup experience i would say madison square garden sold out it was like it was remembering my dad

and he used to go watch the boxing matches there when he was younger and. after the show i went up to my pop and i said i don't see you sitting in the you know the eyepiece eats he said no i wanted to go up to the balcony and watch you from where i used to watch the fights and it's just unbelievable that. last time you bombed. the first segment of the show if you blow many more really well you know you get well no bob hope told me once i asked him about bombing he said if you all famous famous you have two minutes. i'll give you the first two minutes well the yeah because they were just so jazzed up and excited to see you but then you have you know and to deliver it's that ability to deliver your just like anybody else out of those couple of minutes and known don't have those two lives you know because you know they've got nothing to lose you don't really know what they're about once people know you're you know they they know you're rhythms they kind of seen you somewhere else they expect they want

to bring in what ways you left a lot of things i i mean i i love being in clubs i love seeing other comics you know my friends the guys that i grab my graduating class they still crack me up and finally the moment you knew you had made it moment i knew i'd made it. that's a great quick maybe's doings out and i was hosting saturday night live you know here my parents you know say like art you know if you made good on it on the back my guest dane cook business planes will be out august ninth and catch him on tour this fall in under oath and don't forget is this someone you want me to end of you make sure you suggest them by tweeting or instagram ing a picture or a t.v. with the book go to larry hash tag and they just might end up here on larry king now and you can find me on twitter at kings things and i'll see you next time.
