[edit] Comments

He's one of the worst comedians there is that people know about, mainly because many of his jokes are very plain, delivered wrong, or were just not quality material, that is why his show got canceled, and is often referred to as one of the worst comedians on TV. A lot of people just find him unfriendly and not likable, he doesn't come off as a comedian. His jokes are very boring and has an extremely weird sense of humor. His show, which I watched for quite a while, was very boring, many of them were just laughing at their own jokes even when it wasn't funny. Although you may not want to include this in the main article, it is still why his career can be regarded as a failure. Executex 06:04, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I guess comedy is a hit-or-miss proposition. 72.194.122.14 23:19, 27 August 2007 (UTC) John D

Bumbling is a more appropriate adjective to describe Quinn than "cynical.'

Most or all of Quinn's guests have lambasted him in the past for his repeated failures to deliver jokes and inability to properly read cue-cards. Quinn himself usually flaps his lips and gives up-- it's pathetic to any sensible person. I'm not saying he's a bad guy, but let's be honest about his performance characteristics.

However, he is so cute that no one seems to notice.

I do agree that Collin Quinn is adorable. During his SNL years he did fudge a few lines, but on Tough Crowd he never missed a beat.

My friend, who is not really a reliable source, said they saw Colin Quinn at Caroline's cuddling with a man. Is he gay? Please tell me he's not!

[edit] Unsourced claims regarding sexual acts

I put multiple requests for sources on the many claims of sexual acts. While it's possible Colin said all of this, if it's being portrayed as anything other than a comedic routine (i.e. real-life events), it needs a source better than "The Howard Stern Show" (include episode, date, etc.). My reason for skepticism is that unsourced or made-up stories typically say "it was on 'The Howard Stern Show'" as a catch-all attribution, just like Andy Rooney, George Carlin, or Bill Gates (see snopes.com). Considering this is a BLP, I won't wait long before I delete this. Ufwuct 16:29, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Colin Quinn Show

Can The Colin Quinn Show be considered cancelled if NBC only committed to three episodes? I remember at the end of the last episode that Colin was amazed that he got to finish the run. MMetro 09:57, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Personal Life?

There is no mention of Colin Quinn's personal life, which (though I know almost nothing about Quinn's personal life)is a significant enough area of one's life to mention. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.169.207.111 (talk) 07:17, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
