Colin Quinn—who you most likely best know from MTV's Remote Control—recently discussed his upbringing in... Park Slope. The old Park Slope. His home on 1st Street would probably look different if he revisited it now; he says back in the day the neighborhood was filled with places like Greasy Jack's (which has a whole Facebook thread in tribute to it), Cheap Andy's (two burgers for a quarter), Al's Toy Land and Danny's Candy Store. more ›

Oh, Good Day New York. If it's not wondering about soy byproducts, it's something else to cause awkward moments. This morning, co-anchor Greg Kelly (son of the Police Commissioner) tried to chat with Colin Quinn about the old days of the MTV game show, Remote Control. Unfortunately, Kelly went too far and asked how Ken Ober is doing—not realizing, perhaps, that Ober died last year. Gawker has video of Quinn informing Kelly that Ken Ober is dead. Further, Quinn says Ober died "like three months ago" but Ober died last November. Anyway, Kelly actually did a face palm. (Also, but not as sad, no one remembers Kari Wuhrer's last name.) more ›

Julian McCullough's a highly sought after comic in the New York scene. He just recorded a killer set for Comedy Central's Live at Gotham and this month he's opening for the likes of Colin Quinn and Richard Lewis. But it's not just headliners that love him. His peers sing his praises too. Just ask VH1 Commentator and comedian John Mulaney. "What makes Julian so damn good is that he is a comic with smart, really well written jokes. You can put him in front of any crowd and he can gauge the room, work with it, and then crush with his material." more ›
