PEOPLE CHATTER:
MAN TALK

As the host of Colin Quinn's Manly World, a new comedy-sports program
that premiered on the MTV cable network last month, COLIN QUINN
recognizes the ingredients needed to be manly. ''To be manly one needs
a deep, strong lack of purpose, a false sense of one's own worth and a powerful mediocrity,'' says Quinn, 30, best known for his painfully poor
singing on MTV's Remote Control game show. ''My parents were divorced,
so it wasn't that masculine a family. Actually, I grew up in more of a
feminist family when I think about it. My aunt and mother would sit around trashing men.''
Quinn, who has done stand-up, says he doesn't agree with the hypermanly approach of such shock-comics as ANDREW DICE CLAY. ''I think it's misogynist
and easy,'' says Quinn. ''When I was 9, there was a kid on my block who'd come up to us and curse, and we'd all | laugh-- but we were 9! We weren't paying $20 a ticket!''
