With that Bushcock sucker Colin Quinn.

1. Colin Quinn couldn't even successfully spew his "literate" references
He was like a stupider Dennis Miller with dyslexia and Tourrette Syndrome.

2. Agree
Colin Quinn was incredibly unfunny and stupid.

4. Corolla's show features ONE ignorant, unfunny dipshit
Tough Crowd always had five.

7. Corolla says WAY too many things
where the audience just sits there in dumbfounded silence or uncomfortable titters (like: is he kidding? or was that supposed to be a serious/funny observation? because it was just scary and/or bigoted or sexist.)

14. He seems to think that sort of thing is funny...
I get the sense he thinks he's being sarcastic, satirical, etc. But usually it just comes off as hateful, bigoted and sexist.

He should stick with knock, knock jokes.

5. Yeah
He's not hateful like Colin Quin. His show is still pretty much unwatchable, though. Comedy Central has been on the decline. They have the Daily Show, and that's it. That show alone is carrying the entire network.

9. Well the problem is you can't top the Daily Show
Reno 911 and Mind of Mencia are good but the Daily Show just can't be followed.

6. Tough Crowd: Unfunny, uninformed comedians talk about news items
It was like the McLaughlin Group without the comedy.

8. There's stuff in my cat's litter box
That is better than Tough Crowd was.

And I fucking hate Adam Corolla.

11. I wish they'd stuck to repeating episodes of the Daily Show
than putting on Adam Carolla's piece of shit show. He's sexist and just plain rude.

13. I think Dr. Drew balances him out.
I enjoy listening to Loveline every once in awhile.

16. In my ideal world
The Daily Show would be atleast an hour long and would actually be daily.

Tough Crowd was very much unfunny, I haven't seen the Corolla show but never found him funny.

17. One the postive side...
I am getting into bed a half-hour earlier than I used to!
I hear his voice and reach for the "off" button on the clicker.
I don't have anything against him personally, I just dont' think he's funny. At all.
And I have NOTHING in common with him.
Yawn.
I miss the Daily Show "2nd Chance".

18. Well, if you love him on his new show...
...you'll probably love him as Howard Stern's replacement.

He's taking over Howard's shift in L.A., San Diego and San Francisco when Howard goes to Sirius.

I haven't seen the new show, but I did actually like "The Man Show". Kind of a guilty pleasure. In doses.

19. set the bar low enough, and it's easy
Adam is hysterical; since the early days of his Mr. Berchum schtick on L.A.'s KROQ Kevin and Bean's morning show, he was always a kick-ass performer. (Lest we remember, his former roomate Jimmy Kimmel was the Jimmy the Sports Guy...)

The show sucks. I hope it doesn't hurt his career.

Collin Quinn (although a prince to other performers) was a right-wing imbecile, and tangling with the management didn't help him much.

20. "Tough Crowd"
The meanest, dumbest, most self-indulgent exercise trying to pass as comedy. I watched it more than I should have, not quite able to believe that they were spewing that crap. Where did they FIND those people?

As for Adam Corolla, well, he's infinitely uninteresting and rather disturbing to look at.

And Dave Chapelle won't return. Damn. I hope that's not really so.
