Cook has described himself as having been “pretty quiet, pretty introverted, shy” as a child, although he was a “wild child” at home. He overcame his shyness in his junior year of high school, when he began acting and doing stand-up comedy.

In 1990, Cook began performing stand-up in comedy clubs. Boston Garden as part of local radio station WBCN’s “Rock of Boston” music concert. In 1994, Cook moved to New York City and began performing. Two years later, he moved to Los Angeles, where he still lives today.

He signed a contract with Comedy Central Records. On April 15, 2005, Cook performed his first HBO Special entitled Vicious Circle. Vicious Circle was filmed “in the round” at the TD Garden. The same year, Cook shot two pilot episodes for his own sitcom, Cooked. He would then go on to host the premiere of season 32 of SNL a year later.

The same year Cook launched his own company, Superfinger Entertainment, in order to produce his own albums and videos. In 2006, Cook headlined for Dave Attell’s Insomniac Tour and hosted the 2006 Teen Choice Awards alongside Jessica Simpson. The following year he won the award for Best Comedian. From May 23, 2008, to May 25, 2008, Cook reunited with Robert Kelly and Al Del Bene for three shows at The Coliseum in Caesars Palace.

This album was the last as part of Cook’s four-record deal with Comedy Central Records. In 2012, Cook caused a minor controversy when a joke he made in a comedy club about the 2012 Aurora, Colorado shooting was recorded and made the headlines. So I heard that the guy came into the theater about 25 minutes into the movie. And I know that if none of that would have happened, I’m pretty sure that somebody in that theater, about 25 minutes in, realizing it was a piece of crap, probably was like, ‘Ugh fucking shoot me. In 2014, Showtime aired Cook’s Troublemaker special.
