Colin Quinn Hates Both Sides in 'Red State, Blue State'
In his new one-man show, the comedian offers a solution to a divided America: skewer everyone.
"The right sees only the positive, and the left only sees the negative," says Colin Quinn, pacing the stage in his sixth one-man show, Red State Blue State. Later, he amends that slightly: "Half the country sees a Nazi invasion, and half sees a Muslim invasion."
Quinn, who hosted Saturday Night Live 's "Weekend Update" segment from 1998 to 2000, is famously centrist, taking exceeding care to criticize everyone. In his 2013 one-man show, Unconstitutional, the Brooklyn, New York, native declared, "I'm pro-gay marriage, pro-gun, pro-death penalty and pro-choice." (The punch line: "I'm anti-overcrowding.")
