I miss that show, could never happen today. Patrice O' Neal, Greg Giraldo, so many good, regular guests. Crazy that the show has been gone for almost 20 years. Some of the highlights and clips on youtube are great.

Insomniac with Dave Atell was good TV.

Dumb decision to take that show off the air. Could have easily been on for years.

Well they are both dead so the show would be different.


About once a year or so I watch the Greg Giraldo vs Dennis Leary clips on YouTube.

Was watching the night Greg told Leary, we're called writers and if you had them your show would still be on the air. Something like that. Leary was like WTF I think Leary hired him to write for him after that show.

Tough Crowd was great. The Insomniac with Dave Attell episode in New Orleans & Metairie where he went with JPSO to watch them kill Nutria in the Canals was hilarious.

One of the best ever. I watch it on YouTube all the time. That whole regular crew was great. Patrice’s idea on the finale of the crap shows that would follow and try to mimic was spot on.

There’s edgier comedy on Instagram every day. It could easily happen.

I met Colin after he did a show in Atlanta one night. He was really cool and let everybody get pictures with him and talk a bit.

He's my favorite modern comic. He mixes history with comedy which is so rare. His New York stories among other Netflix specials are a must see.

Yeah his history Netflix specials are great, I’ve shown them to people of all different political persuasions and they’ve all liked them.

Quinn is okay but his strength was being on very good terms with all sorts of comedians and being willing to boost them up, especially Patrice and Giraldo.

Giraldo clowning Leary is a great moment.

I think Quinn must be a comedian’s comedian because I’ve never found him that funny.

It's brought up almost every time he's on Jim and Sam, mainly as a joke.

He's basically said in the past that with cancel culture and just changing tastes he didn't think you could recapture it.
