"Tough Crowd w/ Colin Quinn" to be canceled.

[BlackVelvetElvis]

To keep poor Colin employed please go to the site below:

http://www.cringehumor.net/savetoughcrowd/

"What happened to The Daily Show promoting Tough Crowd as a lead in? How come Jon Stewart no longer mentions "Tough Crowd is up next" at the end of each show? Why aren't the 2 shows still tied together with Comedy Central's Indecision 2004 campaign? It's no secret that Stewart isn't a fan of Tough Crowd and is using his powers to get it axed. I guess we should be subjected to boring fake news, delivered in a smarmy, sarcastic manner instead of hearing real opinions from true comedians."

Colin, you're not a patch on Jon's ass.

[jpgray]

1. That show is just a train wreck.

Colin Quinn has the worst delivery of any comic I've ever seen. He can scarcely get his material out intelligibly , and has no rapport at all with the audience.

[TexasSissy]

6. Yeah...it's not very funny.

[Shoeempress]

2. Seeing as Colin is a repuke, I say good riddance.

[grannylib]

3. Good. He's stupid, incoherent, and the most supremely un-funny person

second only to Adam Sandler.
What a waste of airtime.

[shadu]

14. you said it!

this is great news!

[miss_kitty]

4. Colin Quinn

not funny. never funny. GO AWAY. RIP or not. Just rest.

[The Great Escape]

5. How Would You Describe a Person Who Hates Both Gays and Rednecks....

I suppose a person who loves Colin Quinn

[BlackVelvetElvis]

8. You forgot "who enjoys a good joke about torture".

Good riddance.

[Demonaut]

47. dont forget blacks

[alvis]

7. Glad to see it go

Only time I saw it it was when the Air America people were on. They were good, Colin, wasn't. So unfunny.

[Philostopher]

9. Jeez, it's a longer run than anybody else has given him.

He's just like his hero, GW -- a babbling, incoherent drunk or dry-drunk boob with a low sense of humor. I'll say it again -- he's so unfunny, he sucks the funny out of other people. He's had a lot of practice, he started out on MTV or VH-1 years ago doing incoherent, half-drunk commentary; sloshed on over to SNL to whine on the fake news segment for a while, then got his own sexist, misogynistic, homophobic show.

Hello, Viacom? Your audience for Colin Quinn tunes out after 'The Man Show' because there are no nubile failed fashion models jumping up and down on trampolines on Quinn's show. Get a clue.

[tishaLA]

10. That vitriol toward graham Norton is ridiculous

WTF is up with these people? If they think this is a good way to save the show, they don't know much. instead, it makes me feel like writing the network to get it canceled sooner.

[MatrixEscape]

11. Keep the show ...

Get rid of Colin! He mumbles way too much and I can't understand what he is trying to say half of the time.

He also tends to interrupt rather than moderate his guests.

Show = Good idea and enjoyable

Colin = <raspberry>

[coolhandlulu]

59. I agree...

I like that it's not politically correct. I enjoy jokes that cross the line. Colin is irritating to say the least. I think that Geraldo guy would be a good replacement.

[Zomby Woof]

12. Colin Quinn

The festering cancre sore of 'comedians'.

[Johnny 99]

13. The show sucked

That's why it's being cancelled. And, yeah, I'll say it, the Graham Norton Effect sucks too.

[Spiffarino]

33. Have to disagree on one point

The Graham Norton Effect is hit or miss. I've seen a couple that were horrible, then saw a few that were hysterical. The one where he calls the Russian travel bureau about the little town of "Vagina" was a killer.

[Misunderestimator]

15. I hate that show. Good riddance.

[CO Liberal]

16. Tying "Tough Crowd" to "The Daily Show"....

...would be like the crew of the Titanic using a lasso to bring the iceberg closer.

Get a job, Colin.....

[Mojambo]

17. But what will happen to all those no-talent, hack, comedians?

They can't ALL be on VH1's weekly nostalgia shows!

[jrthin]

18. Yee Haw! This guy is a pig. n/t

[sybylla]

19. Thank Goddess

They maybe had one show a week that was decent, the rest were full of ignorant and often racist/sexist soundbites that just don't deserve air time.

[no name no slogan]

20. Time to take out the trash, huh?

Poor Colin just can't keep a job can he?

This show has been sucking bongwater ever since it started. Ignorant "Bush"-league commedians making jokes about torture are NOT funny.

Maybe he can get a job more befitting his stature and talent, like carrying around Jon Stewart's jock strap.

[Placebo]

21. I HATE THAT SHIT SHOW!

I am glad it's dead. He made fun of Teresa Heinz Kerry, I hope he rots in HELL! bastard, motherfucker, piece of shit FUCKFACE :grr:

[BlackVelvetElvis]

22. What did he say about Mama T?

bastard.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

55. Mama T, I love it!!!! eom

[FlyByNight]

23. I guess Tough Crowd wasn't that tough, eh?

I've seen the show a couple times and it wasn't that funny. Oh well. Yawn.

[Gothic Sponge]

24. There is a god!

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

25. Colin hasn't been funny since MTV's "Remote Control"

and that was a long time ago.

[SoCalDem]

26. Good riddance.. Flop sweat is not entertaining

:)

[djeseru]

27. What a relief.

Having that crap follow up The Daily Show was starting to get painful. I was so tired of the rude treatment of his guests.

[AmyDeLune]

28. Colin Quinn is a comedian?!?

I never knew! I just thought he was a loud-mouth idiot. Huh!

[BlackVelvetElvis]

29. No, but he played one on tv!

[sendero]

30. YIPEE...

... my wife won't get annoyed when I fail to switch channels fast enough after TDS and she get's a look at the lout.

One of the lamest "live" shows ever on Comedy Central. He won't be missed.

[liontamer]

52. same here! it's a rush to click away right after the moment of zen eom

[sendero]

54. There's little doubt...

... that any ratings he had were just carryovers from watching TDS. :)

[TheFarseer]

31. I liked it

It was a little annoying that most of them liked bush, but I really enjoyed it and thought it was a great idea for a show. Maybe they will reconstitute the idea of the show in a new program. Colin Quinn is only OK as a host. It's sort of a rip off of politically incorrect so I'm sure something similar will pop up again.

[Spiffarino]

32. I tried watching it, but it just sucked way too much.

Sorry, but Colin Quinn is as unfunny as they come. A poor man's Joey Bishop.

RIP, Tough Crowd. :eyes:

[slinkerwink]

34. thank god! Make the Daily Show a FULL hour!

[Chovexani]

38. Now there's an idea!

Let's start a campaign for that.

[rogue emissary]

41. I'd love to see an hour long Daily Show . . .

. . . or make the fictional Colbert Report Tough Crowd's replacement. I'm sure it would get better ratings.



The Colbert Report: The Truth.


Stephen Colbert "tears the news a new one!"
it's French, bi**h.

[tedoll78]

61. Oh. My. God.

The Colbert Report. I LOVE it!

Mr Colbert ("chuck noblet") is second only to Jon. And a very close second.

:loveya:

[mrbassman03]

45. Wow, an hour long Daily Show...

The things they could accomplish...

[jpgray]

57. It'd be too hard to create

They take enough vacations as it is, and rerun enough old segments too. A half hour of original comedy four nights a week is pretty daunting, even with the last 7 or so minutes taken up with an interview.

[nickgutierrez]

35. I love their reasoning

"Comedy Central (CC) has decided not to pick up the program for a third season, as it hasn't been producing satisfactory numbers ratings-wise. I wonder why? Could it be that CC gives the program no FUCKING promotion at all?"

They put it right after the Daily Show. What better promotion do you need? If people wanted to watch it, they would have. Nobody wants to watch it, because its host is a right-wing nutjob. End of story.

[Mojambo]

39. How could they honestly say they didn't promote it?

Those awful promos were on CONSTANTLY.

[jdj]

43. Mike Moore is right, repukes aren't funny.

Plus they are ALL ignorant, because they never shut the fuck up long enough to LEARN anything.

Even the black guy who's a regular on there called Bush a "cowboy from Texas" the other day. How stupid can you be...

Andrew Dice Clay and all his wannabe groupies are dead. Good riddance and a stake through the heart to all of them. At least they can entertain the folks down at the unemployment office.

[GRLMGC]

36. Even

if he wasn't a right wing douchebag, he still isn't funny. Seriously he stutters and ruins his unfunny jokes. Good riddance, asshole.

[Chovexani]

37. Bwah ha ha!

*dances on show's grave*

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving asshole.

[philosophie_en_rose]

40. Ha Ha!

Colin Quinn isn't just repugnant, racist, and ugly. He's unfunny. If Bill O'Reilly wallowed in vomit and dyed his hair blonde, he'd be Colin Quinn. Watching horse rectum eating on Fear Factor is less nauseating than "Tough Crowd."

Many of the people from the Daily Show have been on Tough Crowd. Those were the few shows that I've seen and even Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert couldn't make that show suck less.

[coolhandlulu]

66. OMG!

"If Bill O'Reilly wallowed in vomit and dyed his hair blonde, he'd be Colin Quinn."

Remind me to never get on your bad side...I wouldnt want to hear how you would describe me!

:silly:

[philosophie_en_rose]

73. Shut Up, Shut Up, Shut Up!

:silly: :)

Colin Quinn & Bill O'Reilly both can't listen to opinions they aren't loud enough to drown out. However, O'Reilly is the Frasier of right-wing talk shows, as opposed to Colin Quinn. His show is the "Surreal Life" of idiocy. It's like a bunch of second-rate comedians got lost in a wardrobe and went to the unmagical land of unfunny.

Of course, I'd never say the same about you. Unless you're Colin Quinn. ;)

[Maestro]

42. I vote for the Daily Show being an hour -eom

[classics]

44. Cool its finally over.

Judy Gold will have to find somewhere else to spread her message of hate.

[Demonaut]

46. Colin, you suck, the edgeyness to your show was the limited vocabulary

and the mumbling resemblence to the boy-king

[Renew Deal]

48. I've tried watching it. Letterman is just better.

And some like Leno. Whatever. That's a tough time slot.

[sasquatch]

49. Geez, homophobic much?

<snip>
"CC has been trying to shove that unfunny, British-hack, queer down our throats with relentless commercials and even billboards placed all over New York City."

Well at least he didn't say faggot or did he choose not to because he'd think they we're talking about a cigarette.

[tonekat]

50. It's about time!

We couldn't reach quickly enough to change the channel to something else...anything else...when that moron barged in after The Daily Show!
That putz wasn't the least bit funny on Sat Nite Dead, and he's not funny now. He should be vacuuming out car interiors.

[liontamer]

51. good. the show is awful.

the "real opinions" from "true comedians" is nothing more than offensive, uninformed people frantically making bigoted jokes in a desperate attempt to get a laugh. There is never more than one guest on the show who has anything to say about any subject of interest.

[sniffa]

53. cry me a river asshoLe

fuck coLin - he's not funny.

[Guaranteed]

56. As Rick James would say, "FUCK yo' show, NIGGA!" nt

[Djinn]

58. unfortch

I bet it's still on high rotation repeats on the Comedy Channel in Australia - I never had a problem with the fact that he (and most guests) are right wing, or even that they make jokes about unfunny stuff, it's that they're ignorant and completely devoid of humour.

The first (and only) one I watched in entirity had Eddie Izzard and Chris Rock - if the guests were always of that calibre (or anywhere near) they could have sat wearing VOTE BUSH shirts and I still would have watched, but they were total shite.

Watching Eddie try to educate the moron brigade was the funniest thing ever broadcast on that show.

[Elginoid]

60. how do you use a left-leaning show as a lead-in to a puke fest?

good riddance.

[BlackVelvetElvis]

63. What was Comedy Central's program director thinking?

I couldn't turn that bilge off fast enough.

[Biased Liberal Media]

62. Good riddance. Colin Quinn is an ass

[Dorian Gray]

64. I'm sad...

But only because I had a friend who works for the show, and she will soon be unemployed. :(

I was in the studio audience once because of her. But, I don't really watch it, so I won't miss it.

[Biased Liberal Media]

67. Sorry to hear about your friend

that sucks. Too bad they can't put the people who work on those shows on other shows on the same network.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

65. Nananana Nananana Hey Hey Hey GOODBYE

This show was DEATH. Good riddence loser!

[roguevalley]

68. this is the best news I heard all day

[Behind the Aegis]

69. I had a real shitty week!

Last week sucked! This is the best news I have heard in a week! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Brightest Blessings!

[Wapsie B]

70. God, who did Quinn sleep with

to get his own show to being with? I could go to the local comedy club and find better talent than him on open mike night.

[PurityOfEssence]

71. I guess that's what you get for threatening Doug Herzog for a raise on-air

Oh yeah, and for not being funny.

"What's the big deal? We all bullied, and we all got bullied."

Huh?

Buh-bye Jim Norton. Treasure the moment when George Carlin walked off stage on the two of you in disgust.

He did have some good guests, though: Patrice is funny, as are Greg Giraldo and Marc Maron. Hell, Nick DiPaolo IS talented, even if he is a megadick.

Good riddance.

[Blayde Starrfyre]

72. He's saying what no one with a brain is thinking!

There's a conception that certain comedians were funny because "they're saying what everyone is thinking!" It certain cases it can be true with regards to social commentary: Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor, David Cross. Colin Quinn seems to think that everyone is thinking of vile stereotypes and general other offensive things and that by saying them, he's being "edgy" and "daring." But he's just coming off desperate and pathetic. And his technical skill is atrocious, it's like he's constantly reading off cue cards or has memorized his routine so thoroughly that any slight variation would cause his head to explode.

And we're missing the greater point: the show is bunch of second-rate comedians discussing current event, and we're supposed to be interested in their opinion. Who gives a shit?
