My Take
Colin Quinn is one of those comedians whose voice feels inseparable from his city. Brooklyn-bred and Stony Brook-educated, he climbed from MTV's Remote Control to anchoring Weekend Update on Saturday Night Live, and his rapid-fire, working-class New York wit has only sharpened with age. What I admire most is his range as a writer and stage performer; his solo shows treat comedy as genuine cultural commentary. There is an unpolished honesty to him that resists the slickness of modern television. To me he is a true neighborhood storyteller, the kind of sardonic chronicler every generation needs.
