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.
