Comedian Colin Quinn trashes fellow Saturday Night Live alum Will Ferrell for stealing his jokes.
Former Saturday Night Live comedian Colin Quinn went on a Twitter rant about his former co-star, Will Ferrell. Quinn, whose Twitter is saturated with controversial, sarcastic remarks about everything from Muammar Gaddafi’s death (“Let me tell you something, Khaddafi is not the terrorist. We're the terrorist!”) to Star Trek (“Star trek was soap opera acting in tight shirts.”), will then retweet the angry comments that he gets from his followers about his tweets.Jacked from The Hollywood Reporter
Even if the actor is using his Twitter as an outlet for his comedy routines, he has rarely gone after another actor, let alone a colleague from Saturday Night Live. That changed on Tuesday when he targeted Ferrell in a tirade of comments.
Ferrell recently received the Mark Twain Award for Comedy, and it seems that Quinn was not a fan of that.
“Anybody see Will Ferrell at Mark Twain awards last night? Great for him I guess,” Quinn wrote.
“No,I'm happy for Will....we never really got along at SNL because he took so many of my ideas, but..,” he continued.
Then, Quinn escalated his comments by writing, “Will was into a lot of bad drug stuff and I don't know if he still is. Actually, not true I happen to know he still is very much so.”
Quinn then goes on to target Lorne Michaels, the creator and producer of SNL.
“The years I was at SNL Lorne was really kind of messed up over various things and I was the shot caller. And that's real,” he wrote.
A couple hours later, Quinn seemed to apologize for his remarks, but at the same time, threw in another zinger.
“Feel bad about the Will Ferrell comments. I'll never mention him again if he pays me my residuals for the WHOLE ANCHORMAN CONCEPT!” he wrote.

He sounds bitter. If the guy is able to work regularly and not fuck up while on drugs then more power to him.
Nobody thinks these were jokes? You really believe that Colin Quinn was running the show at SNL in any way, shape, or form?
Sorry but CQ was not funny on SNL's Weekend Update. Though there are few alums that are actually funny on other projects, I almost never see him on anything.
Colin was funny on SNL? That's news to me.
?
If he's joking then I guess it wouldn't be any different than his tenure on SNL. He wasn't funny on that either.
Didn't Colin have a drinking problem???
i don't think it was a joke. he sounded genuinely pissed...
I thought the anchorman thing was started by Chevy Chase.
