"Tough Crowd With Colin Quinn" Probably Going Off the Air -- Unless You Help OutThat means they're cancelling it. If you don't watch the show, it's funnier than Leno and Letterman, and you really ought to check it out. It's on 11:30PM (EST) on Comedy Central. You might also want to know this: It's one of the most right-wing shows ever put on TV. It has a mix of liberal and conservative comics, but for once the conservatives aren't outnumbered, and Colin Quinn -- the self-styled "Total Package" -- is a strong Bush supporter, and defends Bush night after night. The show is a little uneven, because how funny it is depends on the comics appearing that night. But when the Big Guns are in -- Nick DiPaolo, Greg Giraldo, and Da Goddess' personal favorite, Jim Norton, are on, it's usually howlingly funny. So, look: Why not support the show by tuning in once in a while? Especially if you're a Nielsen-metered household. Conservatives have kept a couple of shows off the air; can we keep one on the air? If you're already a fan of the show, let Comedy Central know it by writing them a little letter at this form. And if you've not yet watched it, check it out this week and then write a letter, telling them, truthfully, you've watched it and you like it. I wouldn't mention politics or how they need a counter-balance to the left-wing and unfunny John "Cutesy-Cute" Stewart. They don't care about politics; they only care about viewers and ratings. Quinn beats Leno and Letterman hands-down. I don't think I've watched either of those shows more than three times since "The Total Package" has been up against them. If you're up at 11:30, there are worse ways to spend half an hour. Sorry to Be So Bossy Update: Jeepers, I've got a BOLO up at the sidebar and now I'm trying to enlist you in saving a show I like a lot. Sorry for the presumption. But honestly, I think most of the readers here would like the show. I imagine many of you already are watching it anyway. posted by Ace at 03:29 PM
CommentsJim Norton has a blog, and it sure as hell ain't safe for work. Posted by: Joe R. the Unabrewer on September 28, 2004 03:34 PM
It'd be a shame if it was cancelled. It's one of the most original and funny on the network, and certainly the most insightful. John "Cutesy-Cute" Stewart. Haha. Posted by: Alan on September 28, 2004 04:00 PM
Thanks for pointing it out. I didn't know about the program (I'm in school, so my TV time has been non-existent for a long time now). I'll give it a look though. Posted by: Smack on September 28, 2004 04:14 PM
Have to disagree with Ace calling The Daily Show "unfunny". Colbert is possibly the mostly dryly caustic human being ever. While the show wears its leftist beliefs openly it at least wears them openly. It also has no problem mocking leftists, though its preferred targets are conservative. John is quite into the cutesy-pooh, but the rest of the crew are hilariously caustic. TDS followed by Tough Crowd make a good mix. Posted by: Dave Pasquino on September 28, 2004 04:34 PM
Colin Quinn makes that show hard to watch (for me). He can't finish a single sentence without tripping his lips and stuttering over his words and mumbling so hoarsely that I just can't quite understand what he just said. Drives me nutty I tells ya. Posted by: lauraw on September 28, 2004 05:22 PM
Ahh....Jim Norton. Yes! Even though his blog isn't safe for work, it's weird and so completely...did I say weird? Yeah. Weird. Gotta love the guy! And don't you think his picture makes him look like one hot, sexy bitch? Sigh. Posted by: Da Goddess on September 28, 2004 06:39 PM
I think the show comes on too late for the "Conservative" crowd. They go to bed because, gasp, they have jobs and children who must be tended to in the early morning. Posted by: addison on September 28, 2004 08:46 PM
Norton's blog leaves me gasping for breath. Then, after I wipe off, I read it and it's quite funny as well. Posted by: Jim Treacher on September 28, 2004 09:28 PM
I didn't mean for NSFW to be an insult. I'm usually in need of oxygen after I read it. Posted by: Joe R. the Unabrewer on September 29, 2004 12:14 AM
Just sent my message to CC about keeping tough crowd on the air...hope they get enough to convince them! Posted by: Andy on September 29, 2004 12:55 PM

Update to the video of a Russian soldier being spun around and thrown by the machinegun he was operating: The soldier was testing an old, archaic Russian machinegun intended to be mounted to a helicopter. The old gun was pressed into service as a possible anti-drone gun. The Russian army is generally depleted and being forced to bring a lot of old, unreliable weapons and platforms to the front.

FDA is providing an update regarding the sample of lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms de Mexico which was reported positive on July 18, 2026. Due to the complexity in detection of Cyclospora, FDA laboratory experts re-reviewed the sample results and have concluded that the finding does not represent true amplification and should be considered a false positive. Information about the sample has been removed from the July 18, 2026, update below. FDA has notified Taylor Farms and continues working with the firm to ensure product implicated in this outbreak has been removed from the market. FDA and state partners continue to collect and analyze product samples. As of July 19, 2026, there are no confirmed positive sample results for product testing for Cyclospora.[CBD]
