Comedian, actor, writer, and SNL alumnus Colin Quinn brings his signature wit to bear on the workings of representative democracy. Comparing the process to hosting a wedding, Quinn argues it involves too many people, it can’t possibly live up to everyone’s high expectations, and the guests with the “biggest envelopes” end up monopolizing your time. In his new book Overstated, Quinn undertakes a coast-to-coast roast of all fifty states, pointing out the hypocrisies of American ideals when compared to the reality of our union. Join Quinn (Red State Blue State and Unconstitutional) and comedian David Spade (SNL) at CHF for a big-picture, big-laughs conversation about his vision of America’s true potential.
