Constitutional calamities. Quinn offers his unique comedic perspective on our national
character. From predator drones to the Kardashians, he pulls no punches in asking if this is

tackled societal issues on Comedy Central’s “Tough Crowd With Colin Quinn,” in which he
served as the show’s host, creator and executive produce.
