'If we can’t laugh at it, nobody is allowed': Dane Cook makes fun of his 27-year age gap with Kelsi Taylor
Seems like age is just a number for Dane Cook. The 50-year-old stand-up comedian said that he and his fiancée, Kelsi Taylor, 23, are comfortable enough in their relationship despite their 27-year age gap. The couple started dating when Kelsi was 18 years old.
While speaking to E! News on Wednesday, October 5, the comedian said, “We have a bit of an age difference, so it’s in the show, it’s in the show,” noting that he added a few jokes on their behalf to his new stand-up comedy special, “Dane Cook: Above It All.”

He said, “If we can’t laugh at it, then nobody else is allowed.” Dane revealed that Taylor “saw everything” he was working on for his show and insisted he keeps the jokes that poked “some fun” at their relationship. The special show came out October 5 on moment.co/DaneCook and on DaneCook.com.
Dane said that Taylor even inspired a few more jokes. He said, “I was just trying some material out on her the other day where I was like, ‘Hey, I think I have maybe my first what it’s like to be married joke. So, she got the exclusive. We tried it out and she said, ‘I approve of that. That’s a good one.'”
In July, Dane opened up about how he asked Taylor to marry him after five years together. While speaking to People, the comedian said, “I was so ready to ask her. I was completely zen about it. The evening of the proposal was incredibly beautiful, the weather was perfect, sunset was spectacular, and I was just quite simply very happy.”
He added, “I was asking my best friend, the woman who I’ve shared some of the greatest times of my life with, to marry me so we can start the next chapter our of lives together. I was also thinking of how absolutely stunning she looked.”
As per reports, he proposed to her on July 13 at York Beach, Maine — in the same spot by Cape Neddick Point, where he said he previously scattered his late mother’s ashes.
The 'Dan in Real Life' actor said that he had been planning the proposal for a long time and decided to do it during their trip to Maine because it holds a "special place in our hearts." He said, "When we started dating, we went there on our first trip together so to return five years later was meaningful to us. It's a place I spent much time in growing up so I have such fond memories there. After my mother passed away, she asked me and my siblings to release her at her favorite spot, the breathtaking location, at the tip of Cape Neddick Point, Nubble Lighthouse, where our vacation cottage is located. It felt like the right place."
