Colin Quinn Long Story Short Preview: Comedy Special Premieres Saturday On HBO

Prepare to be schooled this Saturday night, when HBO airs Colin Quinn Long Story Short, Quinn’s one-man Broadway Show. We have a clip and a behind the scenes look at the special, which includes comments by the stage production’s director Jerry Seinfeld.

John Moffitt adapted the Seinfeld-directed Broadway show for HBO. In Long Story Short, comedian/actor Colin Quinn finds the funny in world history and humanity. From what Jerry Seinfeld says, the show should appeal to people who are really bright or really dumb.

Assistant Managing Editor

Kelly put her life-long love of movies, TV and books to greater use when she joined CinemaBlend as a freelance TV news writer in 2006, and went on to serve as the site’s TV Editor before joining the staff full-time in 2011 and moving over to other roles at the site. At present, she’s an Assistant Managing Editor who spends much of her time brainstorming and editing features, analyzing site data, working with writers and editors on content planning and the workflow, and (of course) continuing to obsess over the best movies and TV shows (those that already exist, and the many on the way). She graduated from SUNY Cortland with BA in Communication Studies and a minor in Cinema Studies. When she isn't working, she's probably thinking about work, or reading (or listening to a book), and making sure her cats are living their absolute best feline lives.
