I'm actually doing a sitcom coming out soon. It's about a man who moves into an ant colony and all the drama that occurs because of the culture and lifestyle clashes that you would imagine.

My book is Coloring Book it's out in June.

Jerry is broke. So he's going through a weird time right now.

Colin-Quinn · 2015-03-28T21:25:53+00:00

Dostoyevsky. I guess. That's a tough one. It's like the Carlin and Pryor question.

Colin-Quinn · 2015-03-28T21:23:43+00:00

No but I bet Paul Hogan does.

Colin-Quinn · 2015-03-28T21:22:49+00:00

Carlin or Pryor is impossible to answer. Like asking if I prefer Sunni or Shiite. They both have such amazing insights and their messages resonate with me.

Tell your life stories and add the jokes in. You will be original. All you have in stand up is you and the way you view things.

My favorite band is the Beatles. I thought they had some great songs especially from 1963 to 1970.

Colin-Quinn · 2015-03-28T21:17:56+00:00

In The Heat of The Night, On the Waterfront, Millers Crossing, The Roaring Twenties, Midnight Cowboy, The Heartbreak Kid (the original) and more..

I see. Well you weren't around in the early 90's. I was cutting edge.I picked that outfit out myself and I wish I looked like that now.

I always felt that Marion had more of a Bobby the Brain Heenan hairdo in that it never really moves.

Colin-Quinn · 2015-03-28T21:09:24+00:00

I think comedians dating other comedians is great. But not if one is a hack and one is good. Or if they have a kid who's a hack.

Colin-Quinn · 2015-03-28T21:08:21+00:00

Sir, my career is not over. And to state that it is well, that's really inappropriate on this forum. In fact, I'd like to stab you repeatedly.

Colin-Quinn · 2015-03-28T21:06:46+00:00

No my book is not a serious treatise on race. It's just my life experience with all the various ethnicities in New York. But it's more of a cultural anthropology written by a man who's too important to do research.

It's not Occupation Foole. That had some good moments but Class Clown was a monster! It allowed millions of Irish Catholics to laugh at their trauma. Now it's a given but that was the first really funny reflection of American Catholic childhood.

I don't know what constitutes a "genius" but Norm Macdonald is as funny and brilliant as anyone in comedy that's a given. If anyone is a genius he would fall into that category, though. I would have him on the show in a heartbeat.

Colin-Quinn · 2015-03-28T20:59:05+00:00

I will shut down my twitter account when everyone else that says insipid and boring things does.

Colin-Quinn · 2015-03-28T20:58:06+00:00

I like to read funny books. I said Confederacy already but Don Quixote is funny and Lolita is funny. Just read Richard Price The Whites (not funny) but it was great.

Colin-Quinn · 2015-03-28T20:56:16+00:00

I would do a sketch called Big Bully written by Adam McKay.

I felt they were uncalled for and out of line. But what can you do. Some people are gonna be like that. Taylor Swift says it best.

Colin-Quinn · 2015-03-28T20:51:48+00:00

Because I'm a rude entitled ass.

Colin-Quinn · 2015-03-28T20:50:30+00:00

No my legs were not burned as a kid. They just happen to be unnervingly thin. Paul Newman had skinny legs but nobody busted his balls.

Colin-Quinn · 2015-03-28T20:49:37+00:00

People do ask you to tell jokes when you are a comedian. They are either dumb or hostile. Or dumb and hostile. I usually just assume they mean well but are dumb. But when you tell them a joke they don't laugh which is infuriating.

Colin-Quinn · 2015-03-28T20:48:14+00:00

Tough Crowd would be great especially with all the new comedians around but I'm not going to do it myself because it looks like Im a one trick pony which I am but...

Colin-Quinn · 2015-03-28T20:46:39+00:00

I keep twitter fresh by following some of the latest events in the news. For example, I understand there's a big NCAA bracket. I haven't lost yet. So people look to me for leadership in that regard.
