This is the first time I’ve truly enjoyed an interview on Fallon’s Tonight Show.

[@seanbean4682]

Colin Quinn is the godfather of the modern NYC comedy scene. He's been simultaneously tearing down and rebuilding comics there for 20-30 years and he gets no credit for being a mentor to pretty much half the headliners out there now.

[@Harvinator24]

Tough Crowd is one of the best TV shows ever!

[@nabeels7325]

@@Harvinator24 hope they bring it back

[@kristoamadeus4441]

Essa's World he should pitch it to Netflix or sumthing :)

[@Raj_Raina]

Quinn and Attell forsure

[@ZeroESG.goopootoob]

Colin would "simultaneously" thank you for saying that and rightfully excoriate you for drawing attention to any perceived lack of "credit."

[@jabberman3000]

"So what's up with this new show, chief?" collin is gold

[@patbasque689]

Colin is getting the real jimmy out. Im pretty sure this was almost them backstage shooting the shit.

[@APAL880]

exactly, he's done it to Jimmy other times too.

[@NewMessage]

Glad you pulled through, Mushmouth.

[@metalmayhem3622]

"Sometimes you get playful and people are not in the mood. I've been there. I've been on the other side of it myself, so, I understand if people want to stab me right now, I get it." I love Colin.

[@johndoe621]

Awesome

[@canadianroxy]

I do loved his statement about freedom of speech being acoustic and not electric. Loved it. "How long do we have to sit there?" Lol

[@jpmcdadecomedy]

Got to open for Colin last year. He's hilarious, one of the most respected comics in the business, and the nicest guy you'll ever meet.

[@NG-cf7zh]

That's a dream! Lucky dude

[@sacredcow61]

You also beat Nick Mullen in a roast battle which is not an easy feat!

[@luke56]

Colin Quinn is too smart for this audience.

[@Squiggy2010]

That is why Tough Crowd was underappreciated in its time.

[@coryobrien8879]

Stupid Colin shouldn’t be whipping out Joel Grey references

[@AMpufnstuf]

true but it didn't help that this was his most off topic mumbly shit appearance ever

[@luke56]

@@AMpufnstuf hes always mumbly. This is colin Quinn tho. He doesn't give a fuck about the audience, the host or anyone... he took over the show and did what hes comfortable doing. I loved it

[@tejasnair3399]

Luke Mulford the one louder lady got it all you can hear her

[@Zaetix]

Wow, I stopped watching the Fallon show for a while but this was a hilarious back n forth, and that trick at the end... perfect ending.

[@PrivateAckbar]

I love how awkward Colin gets on these late night shows. Its the same as Patrice was, and how they both were on Tough Crowd; being real, but self destructive around the showbiz vibe. You can see him thinking “what am I going to do once I pull out this metro card?”

[@luke56]

Patrice on fallon with Qwest being the only one howling with laughter is one of my favorite videos on youtube.

[@cycochaos2]

Colin is a god damned legend

[@NicS_313]

6:25 the silence after that 💣 was awesome

[@mrmikeconway]

One of my favourite ever interviews on Fallon, they were both having a blast

[@mariav9445]

This type of interviews is my favorite. Looks like they insult each other but in reality they're just two genuine and funny people. Really great!

[@Spokker]

Are you Jimmy Fallon?

[@artepjan]

That's the type of interview we want. Perfect! LOL

[@nathanglennie]

Jimmy is really only genuine when he’s got his old SNL buddies on

[@thenotoriousl.i.l.5252]

Carr Rexx he said genuine, at least we know you’re no genius

[@h00liganismo1]

This is fucking hilarious. I love Colin Quinn. He does some of the best "deconstruction of comedy" type comedy of anyone (John Mulaney also comes to mind). Which is why most people are bewildered by him. He enjoys messing with Fallon as is plainly obvious here, but also obvious is the love between a mentor and a mentee that they share. Unrelated note: He used to eat every once in a while at the old diner I often had lunch in on 12th St and Union Square, until it (like most old diners in Manhattan) closed down. Never got the nerve to tell him I liked him on Weekend Update, and then the place was gone. But it's good to see him back in form.

[@hayberdasher8625]

He's got that casual confidence to say anything that comes to mind, and is funny enough to pull it off, like Don Rickles.

Douche face, no one cares. You black, be a man and recognize.

the way colin's expression changes when jimmy asks him 2+2, 4+4... is the best depiction of what kind of a person he is.. just funny and totally nuts

[@deanfranz]

"How long do we have to sit there?" I don't usually laugh at Fallon, but that was a good one.

A bit concerning that an interview with one of the funniest men alive gets 30,000 views, while all the other interviews from this channel with talentless bums hit a mil. Perhaps I’m reading too far into it, but smart craft and talent mean little these days. Edit: I typed this immediately as I clicked on the video, and didn’t realize someone made this point more concisely. Though I’m glad I’m not the only one

[@judaskennedy]

I’ve watched this three times since it came out.

[@MrClaudegagea]

He made Jimmy pop open like a fortune cookie, real authentic and the fake laughter reduced to 50/50 genuine and somewhat improvised. Not an easy task to do and Jimmy remains fake with at least 90-98% of his guests but this guy opened up a decent conversation and he got 15 minutes. Well done dude and Jimmy try to be like this authentic and stop laughing for 2 seconds and try to be serious right away, looks so fake.
