Stand-up comedian Dane Cook, whose new album just became the highest-charting comedy release on the U.S. pop charts in a quarter-century, is set to star in a comedy pilot called “Cooked.”
The Sony Pictures Television project centers on Cook’s quirky relationship with his friends (Liz Vassey, Joel David Moore) and their exploits. Shooting begins next week. The studio plans to shop the pilot to broadcast and cable networks.
