Dane Cook, he of the rape jokes and double-finger salute, will star in a new sitcom pilot for NBC called "Next Caller Please," in which he will play a "grouchy alpha male DJ." Sounds GREAT! And it gets even better:
The single-camera series revolves around Cam Doherty, a brash alpha male DJ and his feminist co-host set in the office of a satellite radio station.Ha ha you see it's FUNNY because she's a FEMINIST (a character who I'm sure TOTALLY won't be written as an MRA-drawn caricature of a feminist AT ALL!) and a "brash alpha male" harassing, belittling, mocking, needling, and bullying a feminist woman in a professional environment is GREAT COMEDY FODDER, and not at all the very thing that makes life a fucking misery for countless women.
Cook will play Cam, the disheveled, unshaven, hung-over and purposely detached magnetic grouch who doesn't like that his co-host is a woman.
...Collette Wolfe will play his co-host, Stella, in the gender comedy, while Joy Osmanski is on board to portray Winnie, Stella's producer, who recruits her to the radio show.
NBC, let me save you some trouble. You remember what happened to ABC after they broadcast the profoundly contemptuous "Work It"...? Well, get ready for a category 5 shit-storm if you have the terrible sense to actually produce and broadcast this misogynist swill.
And here's some free advice: Any project that can be described as a "gender comedy" in the age of a global war on women [content note: violence and hostility toward female autonomy] is straight-up GARBAGE.
Have a nice day.
