Since
Michael Ian Black first rose to national prominence on MTV with the legendary sketch comedy troupe The State, NJ's own
Michael Ian Black has become a fixture in contemporary American humor - as actor, author, director, and as a decidedly ribald regular on the stand-up scene coast-to-coast.
Black is also the co-creator of the television shows Viva Variety, Stella and Michael and Michael Have Issues. He was a series regular on NBC's Ed (in which he played Phil, the quirky bowling alley manager) and was featured on VH1's I Love the ... series, where he became known for providing hilarious, irreverent commentary on pop culture history.
On the big screen, Black starred in Wet Hot American Summer, Hell Baby, This is 40, Take Me Home Tonight, The Ten and The Baxter. More recently, he's been a lead on TVLand's The
Jim Gaffigan Show, on
Comedy Central's Another Period, and in two Netflix series, Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later and Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp. His most recent stand-up special, Noted Expert, was released on Epix.
As an author, Black has written 11 books including two well-received memoirs, Navel Gazing: True Tales of Bodies, Mostly Mine (but also my mom's, which I know sounds weird) and You're Not Doing It Right: Tales of Marriage, Sex, Death and Other Humiliations. His most recent book is the best-selling A Child's First Book of Trump. See

Colin Quinn: One in Every Crowd - because there's always one person in every group situation who ruins everything... From his MTV days to Saturday Night Live to
Comedy Central to Broadway,
Colin Quinn is apparently refusing to leave the business - so if you enjoyed his other shows, or you're just at a place in life where you feel lost and need some intelligent laughs, come see his new show, One in Every Crowd.
Quinn first rose to national prominence when he became a regular cast member on Saturday Night Live, where he occupied the "Weekend Update" anchor seat. Later, he starred in his own hit series on
Comedy Central, Tough Crowd with
Colin Quinn. Since then, Quinn has lent his unique comic take to a series of successful one-man shows on Broadway, including
Colin Quinn: An Irish Wake, My Two Cents, Unconstitutional, and the recent New York Story. His
Colin Quinn: Long Story Short, which was directed by
Jerry Seinfeld, was recorded and aired as a stand-up special on HBO.
In addition to his stage and television success, Quinn has starred on the big-screen in Grown Ups and Grown Ups 2 (opposite
Adam Sandler), in A Night at the Roxbury, and most recently as
Amy Schumer's father in Trainwreck. He also starred earlier this year in the Netflix film Sandy Wexler (again with Sandler), and has been featured in a recurring role (as Hermie) on the HBO series, Girls. See
