Colin Quinn Show (NBC Gets One Right?)

[Wild Irish Rogue]

Could not agree with you more. I just remember him from SNL as being an unfunny, conservative bashing liberal.

[jlogajan]

I looked at you people

Remember when Ross Perot gave a speech to a black audience, he merely said "you people" and he was almost skinned alive for it.

[SoCal Pubbie]

The two guys that I just can't figure how they ever made it on TV are Conan O'Brien and Colin Quinn.

[RangeRatt]

remember MTV's "Remote Control"? He did that one, too, although I am sure he'd rather forget...

[Semaphore Heathcliffe]

Saw it. Frigging hilarious. There's no way anything that raw and un-PC will last long.

[Kermit]

He didn't call the Iranian an Arab. He just said to a comedian, identified as an Iranian that he was right about the fact that it was Arabs flying into those buildings.

Last night's show was excellent. I've missed Colin Quinn ever since SNL replaced him on the news with Jimmy Fallon and that leftist bitch Tina Fey.

I was laughing out loud at the excellent sketches on the show, and the absence of anything P.C.

[Clemenza]

I worked on an MTV show with Colin Quinn. A good enough guy, although I don't find him particularly funny.

YOU WORKED ON REMOTE CONTROL!!! Did you "get to know" Kari Wuhrer?

I used to like a character Colin Quinn used to do on SNL called "Joe Blow," a sort of Archie Bunker type character. Wasn't original, but was entertaining.

[Hildy]

I was there the first season.

[Clemenza]

I was there the first season.

UGGH! With Marisol!

[RichInOC]

"And now...it's his basement, his rules, his game show...The Quizmaster of 72 Whooping Cough Lane...Ken Obuhhhh!!!"

Coolest thing about Colin Quinn...that voice.

[Hildy]

Yes, with Marisol. I actually auditioned with Ken Ober. What ever happened to him?

[Clemenza]

Ken Ober. What ever happened to him?

One of the reason Remote Control went off the air was due to the fact that Ken Ober agreed to play the Rick Moranis role in the TV version of Parenthood. Since that show got cancelled, I have not heard from him since. Unlike other "retired" MTV personages, he has not moved on to infomercials.

[Clemenza]

Thanks! I should've known to check IMDB.

[KC_Conspirator]

"Remote Control"? Whatever happened to Kari?

[HamiltonJay]

Colin Quinn is definately NOT PC.. a tendency toward the left in political ideals, but PC is not a description for him in the least.

[brewcrew]

Iranians are not Arabs. That's the way it is. I'm sorry if it upsets your worldview or anytrhing, but that's just the way it is.

No, they're not. But wasn't it something like 16 or 17 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis (exiled or otherwise)? What, exactly, do Iranians have to do with it? Maybe I'm just dense. If so, please enlighten me.

[Decentralize]

Very good show. It was especially nice to see Cheri Oteri, as Quinn's wife, in the final sketch.

[oldvike]

BTW, why did Chery Oteri leave SNL?
