A new version of Tough Crowd With
Colin Quinn is being attempted to fill the slot it once held
after The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Except this time Tough
Crowd will feature host Greg Giraldo, a regular on Quinn's
version. We're guessing Quinn turned down reprising the host of the
irreverent and sometimes hysterical show because of the way the
series was treated by executives looking at the ratings. They were
miffed the show lost half the audience of The Daily Show.
Maybe they don't understand that the reason The Daily Show does
so well is because everyone turns off their real nightly news to
watch Jon Stewart, then they turn on Letterman or Leno. The fact that
Quinn kept anyone is pretty impressive. Other shows considered for
the slot include another Giraldo series, Gone Hollywood, a
D.L. Hughley project and a new Adam Corolla show. Please no more
Corolla.

My wife and I still have the last episode of Tough Crowd on the DVR.
We watch it whenever we want to see Patrice O'Neil cry.
