Why Colin Quinn's tough crowd failed
Advertisements [?]
#1. Colin Quinn has never or will ever be funny. He wasn't funny the first time I saw at the Cam Neely benefit. He wasn't funny on SNL. So why in the hell do people consider him a comedian.

#2. The host of a current events show must have some concept of hiostory, deep thought and conflicting ideas. Colin or his guest(with the exception of Jon Stewert, Lewis Black or George Carlin) have no concept of any of the said items.

#3. The humorus current events debate show should be humorus. Bill Mayer's show "Politicly Incorrect" was insightful, funny, dramatic, adventorus and great to watch. PI's show was made up of five people a comedian, a writer, Left leaning advocate, Right leaning advocate and a celebrity to put a diferent view on the subject. TC is made up of five comedians(three hacks and two apathetic lounge lizards) that try to take the subject matter and transition it too their club material, so it doesn't make any sense and ends up not being funny. When the four "informed" guest on PI all come to conclusions the "fifth wheel" chimes in with a humorus conclusion, something not taken into account or a completly different view. So Larry Flynt on PI is funnier than all five comedians on TC.

#4. Appealing to morons will not bring up your ratings. Colin Quinn's "Tough Crowd" was like "Politicly Incorrect" for people who've had lobotomy's. All five of his guest all agreed with Colin on the issues they were discussing making the show too boring and too simple minded.
