Talk:Colin Quinn/Archive 1

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)

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!

Colin Quinn is FAR from GAY. He has a past that would make you little boys drool with envy,,,,,,so ive read, But thats not important. He is one of the best and most underrated comics of my time. I am very honored to have witnessed his unique delivery on SNL and in my opinion- SNL went to hell when Colin left the show. And yes,,,he is quite a doll. Very adorable. Insightful and has his own kind of humor that only a choice few really seem to appreciate. Quinn fans are pretty serious about him and his work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by HesAMagicManMama (talk • contribs) 04:49, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Snl Alumni
Does anyone know why the Snl Alumni link was removed? (cur) (last) 09:01, 10 October 2008 Garion96 (Talk | contribs) m (9,369 bytes) (Reverted edits by Michael J Swassing (talk) to last version by 66.108.218.9) (undo) Luminifer (talk) 16:41, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Maybe this was removed because SNL went to the dogs after Quinn left. That show isnt even worth the effort of lookin at these days. I miss my teenage years. —Preceding unsigned comment added by HesAMagicManMama (talk • contribs) 04:50, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

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)

Well if Quinn wants to chalk up another sex act on his list- Im available. Hehe! We love ya Colin. Keep on keepin on! —Preceding unsigned comment added by HesAMagicManMama (talk • contribs) 04:59, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Content Update
I work for Rubenstein and we represent Colin Quinn Long Story Short. Per BLP Standards, I propose adding mentions of Quinn's one-man show, Colin Quinn Long Story Short, in the first paragraph and in the Post-SNL section. Additionally, I propose removing the unsourced content in the SNL section as it does not meet BLP standards. If the content is not added in 48 hours, I will go ahead and edit the entry directly. If there are any questions/concerns to my actions, please discuss on my talk page. // Brycetom (talk) 20:10, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Per BLP standards, I moved the updated content to the entry. // Brycetom (talk) 17:39, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

I know that I have no proof, but I am a relative and I have a little more detail on the manifestoes
I was visiting Colin to borrow a computer keyboard for my TiVo and he showed me a folder on his mac containing several dozen text files with filenames like "computers and the internet.txt", "Music.txt", and "Movies.txt", and some other stuff. He said they were stuff he mostly hadn't used yet. This was about two years ago, as of October 2010. ToaDjango (talk) 15:49, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Long Story Short on DVD
Can anyone find any talk about Long Story Short being considered for publication on DVD? If so, about when would that be?Douglas.hawkes (talk) 22:50, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

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)

Oh boy, you're just full of yourself aren't you? Perhaps if his show was a front for liberal propaganda you'd be having your "you go girl moment!". Grow a pair. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.65.240.90 (talk) 04:23, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I guess comedy is a hit-or-miss proposition. 72.194.122.14 23:19, 27 August 2007 (UTC) John D His show(s) were cancelled simply because people are too narrow minded to understand his kind of humor and his kind of realistic approach to life. The networks are too narrow minded and we were stuck with 'Everybody Blows Raymond' for like,,,,twelve years! Great goin america.

How about the fact that his show was kind of racist? I saw an episode when it aired and was surprised that something that awful was allowed to air. Colin played a man who with his wife invited a guy down the street over for dinner. The guy was Islamic and they proceeded to ask him for several minutes why he wanted to kill all Americans and other things like that. The guy was clearly just a normal person with a religion that wasn't popular after 9/11. ... Then in the last 15 seconds after showing he was a nice, misunderstood person in the presence of bigots he suddenly reveals that he's a terrorist and the two bigots are redeemed. Hooray for everyone, go America, all that crap. In retrospect I don't even know why I watched it. 99.240.141.220 (talk) 04:59, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

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)
 * i know that he hooked up with marisol from remote control during that show —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.125.110.223 (talk) 20:31, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

There was quite a bit of information in the Wikipedia article about Quinn's personal life. I assume it was removed because of his divorce and out of respect for his ex wife. Maybe at Quinn's request. Who knows. But he does have a personal life you idiots. Its just not plastered all over the place like your usual celebrity ham. And I wont go into the details of what was removed from this original article- out of respect for him and his said ex-spouse. And thank God for Colin Quinn. Always one of the best. —Preceding unsigned comment added by HesAMagicManMama (talk • contribs) 04:54, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Censorship of legitimately sourced information "out of respect"? What information was removed? All I know of his personal life beyond what the article states is that he had a rough divorce as he said on Opie and Anthony. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.126.186.159 (talk) 22:08, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
