While I don't think Marc and Dane will be best buds, I don't have a hard time imagining they'll be friendly to each other after this.

I just listened to the two Mencia shows and the Cook show and I totally agree with this. Marc didn't go hard on the attack with either of them; I thought, like a good interviewer should, he brought up all the questions and issues he had but it seemed clear to me that Marc's motivation was curiosity about what makes these two controversial guys tick much more than being any kind of indictment of them.
I still don't like Dane Cook but I do think he came off as far less slimey than Mencia. Cook may be lying about one or two things (although his answer about Louis CK's silly name joke actually being a Steve Martin joke was a good one), but he came across as less devious than Mencia, who seems like he has more than a little of El Diablo in him.
