The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 390 days, one point a day.
Something wrong?Jack Black turned manic energy and a willingness to look ridiculous into a three-decade run across live-action comedy, animated juggernauts, and a Grammy-winning rock-comedy side hustle. He's the guy who made air guitar feel like a legitimate art form.

, Hey guys, there isn't gonna be a Plan B. You called me in to bring the thunder and that's what I'm gonna do.
It's great to be here at the VMA's! I know this show's been a little sketchy in the past. But there isn't gonna be any problems tonight...is there Eminem?!
You know what I just realized? Jack Black...Jack White! [points to Jack White]

Thomas Jacob Black started acting at 13, drifting through bit parts in Dead Man Walking and Mars Attacks! before High Fidelity (2000) gave him a foothold. School of Rock (2003) made him a leading man - the music-teacher role earned a Golden Globe nomination and proved he could carry a film on sheer commitment. He followed with King Kong, Nacho Libre, and Tropic Thunder, then locked in a second career voicing Po in Kung Fu Panda starting in 2008. A critical turn as Bernie Tiede in Bernie (2011) showed range, but the mid-2010s sagged until Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) kicked off a late-career surge. The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) brought another Golden Globe nomination, this time for Best Original Song as Bowser. Outside film, he's spent three decades in Tenacious D with Kyle Gass, winning a Grammy for Best Metal Performance, and launched a YouTube channel in 2018 that mostly documents his inability to upload consistently.
