Home > Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn

The show featured Colin Quinn and four other comedian guests discussing current events and issues. the emphasis was on the comedy and the debates were never settled. The show opened with a monologue by Quinn; after the opening credits, the debates happened throughout most of the show.

Frequent guests were Patrice O'Neal, Nick DiPaolo , Judy Gold, Jim Norton, and Greg Giraldo . Less frequent guests were Stephen Colbert, Dave Attell, Al Franken and Lewis BlackLewis Black (born August 30, 1948) is an American stand-up comedian who makes regular appearances on The Daily Show doing his "Back in Black" commentaries.
