Comedy Club circuit and made his television debut as co-host of MTV's popular game show Remote Control. In 1995, he landed a spot on Saturday Night Live, where he entertained audiences for five seasons with his writing and unforgettable characters before stepping in as anchor for SNL's Weekend Update segment.
After SNL, Quinn tackled societal issues on Comedy Central's Tough Crowd with
Colin Quinn, in which he served as the show's host, creator and executive producer, from 2002-04. In addition to his television work, he has appeared in many films, including A Night at the Roxbury, Comedian and

Quinn's first one-man show, Sanctifying Grace, began Off-Broadway in 1994 and was later produced as
Colin Quinn: An Irish Wake and played at the
Helen Hayes Theatre. In 2010, he returned to the
