Tough Crowd was legendary and will never be replicated. It's also been copied numerous times. That shitty Louis Black show that came after it, The Green Room with Paul Provenza (soft west coast Tough Crowd) and I know there's been some others.
The faggot suits at Viacom couldn't handle truly honest discussions on race and other issues, especially when they didn't fit the liberal narrative.
Colin is too good for Comedy Central. I'm glad his book is coming out soon. It's been a long time coming. He really is one of the best people on the planet and I can't think of anyone in the public eye who is more on-the-money about most issues than he is.
I would love to see Colin revive the show on a web-based platform. Maybe once TACS network gets bigger something like it could be revived there. It would be a great place for it considering Ant would let Colin do whatever he wants.
Colin wouldn't do it because TACS is beneath him. That's no slight to Ant, it's just the truth. Plus I just don't think he'd want to do it anyway without Giraldo and Patrice.
Just because there's one host and four comics, that doesn't mean it's a ripoff of Tough Crowd. You can shit on The Green Room if you want, but that was a show talking about the industry, not about current events.
And someone could say the same thing about Tough Crowd being a ripoff of Politically Incorrect.

Further proof that CC wanted to get rid of Colin Quinn because of his political views

Pretty much every single instance of "get comedian to host a group of comedians and talk current events" has been shit aside from Tough Crowd.

I still don't understand how you just wouldn't put something like it up on youtube in short segments all these years.
I mean, it seems like it's what him and his friends discuss and think about anyways. i'm sure they could have accumulated quite a following by now.
Then again, I never understood why OnA never went to podcast in 08 or 09.

All panel discussion shows are basically just ripping off the McLaughlin Group.

Then of course they tried again but with D.L. Hughley.

I believe I saw an episode of this. I really don't remember anything else about it.
