Colin Quinn

Colin Quinn is the very definition of persistent. After scaling the media mountain repeatedly from different angles—notably as the Weekend Update anchor on SNL and host of his own talk show, Tough Crowd, on Comedy Central—he’s been knocked down quite quickly by the institutions that promoted him. Regardless, the man clearly loves comedy and continues to return to what he does best: tell jokes. His stints at clubs like Gotham seem to be the best time to observe him in his natural state, where his likeably conversational presence and the roots of his rough-and-tumble upbringing show through.
