Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn lasted about one season, from 2003 to 2004. I've been looking for news of a DVD release or Netflix streaming, or even a short appearance on Hulu. A few months ago, Jay832009 uploaded several clips to YouTube. Bless you Jay.
Then sneakerpimpin2381 saw them, and decided to convert and upload some scratchy old VHS recordings. I'm not complaining. Finding these videos made my day.
Ignore the audio quality. Get past the lack of direction in the conversations. Forgive the holes in the comics' logic and just enjoy watching some very different styles of swinging at the same log.
This clip includes both Patrice O'Neal and Marc Maron. A show like this was made for O'Neal. It's the perfect place for him to ridicule and intimidate. Maron was hit and miss on the show. He wasn't in the Tough Crowd inner circle*, and the inner circle feasted sloppily on outsiders. This was a good night for him. He and O'Neal were mostly in charge.
*Patrice O'Neal, Jim Norton, Nick DiPaolo, Keith Robinson, Greg Giraldo… roughly
If the two hosts of "Yo, MTV Raps!" had a baby together, it'd be Patrice O'Neal.
