	The Comical: Interview with Colin Quinn
		Colin: I was wasted and heading to the improv for my first ever set, but in those days there was a long line to maybe get on.
		Colin: I feel the spin on comedians over the past 15 years has been that they're these superficial "joke-a-minute" people and hasn't shown them for what they are which is funny sarcastic people who are funny offstage.
		Colin: There are a few great moments, but since we're talking about stand-up, I would say the most triumphant moment was when I could do an hour that was funny where I was proud of the whole hour.

	Colin Quinn - Biography - Moviefone
		Quinn proved to be a ubiquitous presence in the realm of popular comedians thanks to his stint at Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update desk, numerous film roles, and his marked tenacity (even after having no less that three television series canceled, Quinn still returned to host Tough Crowd).
		Though Quinn would appear in such features as Who's the Man? and A Night at the Roxbury during the 1990s, his main focus would remain on television, where he hosted the popular A&E series Caroline's Comedy Hour before stepping in to replace Norm MacDonald as anchor for SNL's popular Weekend Update segment.
		When his short-lived 2002 series The Colin Quinn Show failed to find an audience, Quinn went back to the drawing board, eventually returning with a winner in the form of Tough Crowd With Colin Quinn.

	washingtonpost.com: Colin Quinn, Mr. Manners
		Colin Quinn has a plan for making the world a better place: Get rid of the obnoxious people.
		Thursday night, in the opening set of his sold-out three-day stand at the Improv, Quinn turned his raspy Brooklynese sarcasm on politicians and celebrities but reserved most of his rapid-fire rant for nameless, ordinary, everyday jackasses.
		The show was a surprising departure for the 45-year-old former host of TV's issue-oriented "Tough Crowd With Colin Quinn" and anchor of the "Weekend Update" segment on "Saturday Night Live." He said nothing about his TV and acting career.

	Anger still fuels Colin Quinn's comedy - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
		If happiness showed up on Colin Quinn's doorstep, you get the feeling he'd give it a one-way ride to the pavement on the tip of his shoe.
		"Basically what's on my mind is still the political correctness," says Quinn, whose show, "Tough Crowd With Colin Quinn" -- airing Mondays through Thursdays on Comedy Central -- features him riding herd on his fellow comedians as they discuss the issues of the moment.
		Quinn, a former MTV veejay who also wrote the screenplay for the movie "Celtic Pride" starring Dan Aykroyd and Daniel Stern, says "Tough Crowd" might get reconfigured as a weekly show.

	Monkey-Plex Review: TV: The Colin Quinn Show
		It's probably relatively cheap to produce (a couple of writers, and Colin sitting around on a doorstep with other riffing comedians is a bunch cheaper than the 80 gazillion dollars the Peacock is paying for Friends) and would be perfect summer counter-programming.
		I watched all 3 episodes of the colin quinn show and it was absolutly hilarius.
		I missed colins humor when he left SNL and 3 shows was just not enough.

		It's clear from the opening bell of every segment that political junkies should be sniffing in disapproval and turning the channel to a C-Span re-broadcast of Howard Dean courting farmers in Iowa, with serious analysis and your phone calls, of course.
		Quinn bravely faced off against four of the folks from Air America at the same time, including the wildly agitated Al Franken and Janeane Garofalo combo.
		Quinn: And I don't understand how someone as smart as you can't understand that 3,000 people dying and people having to walk around on a leash is comparable.
