Editing Colin Quinn (section)

===Television and film work and stand-up===
After leaving ''SNL'', Quinn hosted the short-lived ''The Colin Quinn Show'' on [[NBC]] in the spring of 2002. The show combined sketch comedy and stand-up in a live-to-tape format. Despite mostly positive reviews from critics, it was cancelled after three episodes.

Quinn had greater success with his subsequent show, ''[[Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn]]'', which ran on weekdays on [[Comedy Central]] from 2002 to 2004. The show featured a panel of four comedians, with Quinn as host, discussing the social and political issues of the day. The show ran for over 200 episodes.

His stand-up was also used in the animated series ''[[Shorties Watchin' Shorties]]''.

Quinn was also a regular guest on ''[[The Opie & Anthony Show]]'' until its run ended in 2014.

Quinn played Dickie Bailey, the childhood rival to Lenny Feder ([[Adam Sandler]]'s character) in ''[[Grown Ups (film)|Grown Ups]]'' and ''[[Grown Ups 2]]''. He also had a recurring role as Hermie on the [[HBO]] series ''[[Girls (TV series)|Girls]]''.
