i am watching "tough crowd with Colin Quinn" and just wantt to say that he is the most unfunny comedian alive. He is not funny on this show, and was the worst news anchor ever on SNL. I do not think he has ever made me laugh. anyone else know what im talking about here?

The guy can't even READ!! When he was doing Weekend Update, I swear that he would have been better off watching "Hooked on Phonics"

It's funny cuz I think "Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn" is a hilarious show EXCEPT for Colin. He does nothing but drag that show down.

I think you're thinking of Colin Mochrie, this guy.

I can't find a pic of Colin Quinn, but here is his bio on imdb.

Sooo true...

He is just not funn...i think i saw a CC special ONCe htat had him and he had ONE funny joke..the entire bit sucked.

As someone says....he drags 'tough crowd' down so so badly...


Tough crowd is a nice 'politically incorrect' variant ..except for the host

It's funny, I said almost exactly the same thing to one of my roommates like a week ago when we were watching SNL. He has no meter or rhythm whatsoever when he speaks, and that being the case he always fudges up the punch line.

He just sucks overall, IMO, dunno why he's on TV.

he really is a horrible commedian. he should be a straightman but it seems like no one told him, so he does this weird combination that I think only he finds amusing. I hate it when he does that talking thing.

Dennis Miller sucks hard too. He hasn't been funny in years. Now Dennis Leary is funny!

No shQt Dennis Miller shot his wad when he made a joke out of MNF. He should just retire into the Stand Up Comic Scene

haven't seen miller around recently, but I enjoyed his relatively articulate cynacism. Leary is certainly amusing, but I wouldn't want to watch him everyday (his comedy seems a bit strenuous). I think jon stewart does a fairly good job of mixing the miller cynacism thing with a bit of levity-
