Episode 1
Mon, Dec 9, 2002
Unique features: The third segment, aka "Act 3": is typically a break in the roundtable format for something different. In this Dec-2002 episode, after a tough year for large corporations, Quinn narrates a closer look at one example: GE. GE makes light bulbs and jet engines, but they also run NBC where Quinn was let go as host of Weekend Update on Saturday Night Live. During hard economic times, Quinn shows that he cannot afford to tip well when dining out. The service industry employee suffers and marches on Washington while holding a lit candle, which comes in handy because they couldn't pay the light bill either. Episode also features a Confession-style improv where Quinn as priest sits down with each of the 4 guests.

From the Congolese people who recently ended a civil war, to French and Egypt papers criticizing US foreign policy, to Somalia whose conflict generated a Jerry Bruckheimer film that Josh Hartnett "was actually good in," these countries and peoples have Colin Quinn heated (and jealous of Josh Hartnett).
