In 1995, Quinn landed a spot on the legendary late-night show “Saturday Night Live”, where he entertained audiences for five seasons with his writing and unforgettable characters before stepping in as anchor for “SNL”’s popular Weekend Update segment.

In addition to his television work, Colin also wrote the screenplay for the movie Celtic Pride and has appeared in many films, including A Night at the Roxbury, Comedian, and Adam Sandler’s Grown Ups.

In 2010, he returned to the Helen Hayes Theatre and starred in the hit Broadway show Colin Quinn LongStory Short. Directed by Jerry Seinfeld, the show was nominated for a Drama Desk Award and was nominated for an Emmy as an HBO special in 2011.
