I'd like to break a slide whistle over Franken's head.

:banghead: Someone please take it away from him.

1. I wish he'd get another co-host

He's really jumped the shark

5. Franken really should listen to Stephanie Miller's show

You have a great point that he needs someone else, most people do. Even Don Imus and Howard Stern have their gangs.

This is why I think Ms. Miller can set a great example. I don't think he should simply copy it, but listen to it enough to realize having Katherine was a mistake. She's a nice person, but she's made for NPR. If he listens to Ms. Miller, maybe he'd know he should have a couple of liberal comedians/researchers (NOT ex-TeamFranken people) to be his wingmen. (And if/when Franken runs for Senate, the wingmen could take over the show if they're good enough. Of course, that idea would require competant management at Air America, which is completely absent in Danny Goldberg.)

It's a shame. So much wasted potential with Franken's show.

12. I agree

The show needs improvment but I for one don't miss Miss NPR Prim and Proper. Her fake laughs were annoying as hell. If you dont think it's funny just don't laugh.

2. It has become impossible for me to listen,

and I miss having him on here at work. Al has really fallen apart since Katherine left.

[LeftNYC]

3. Havent listened in a long time...

Why did Katherine leave? Who is the co-host?

[htuttle]

4. Oh, hell wit ya!

I like his show. Even the singing and the slide-whistle.

:shrug:

[Lubernaut]

6. I like the slide-whistle too!

Don't bother me none t'all.

[ObaMania]

7. One of the better parts of the show, IMO. n/t

[El Supremo]

8. Al sounds strange this week.

Kinda low key.

Is something bad with his health? Is he waiting for a liver transplant? Or was that just a joke that I heard him do last month?

[NYCGirl]

10. He's in the middle of a book tour. It's really tiring, I'd guess. NT

9. What happenned??? Why did Katherine leave?

I am totally out of the loop...

[NYCGirl]

11. She got a contract to write a book about her move from Minnesota

for a new division of Time-Warner, which contracted her from an article she wrote for the NY Times. Unfortunately, she has to get the first draft of it to them by the first of the year, so she had to start devoting every minute to the book.

13. Ahhh...thanks for the info. n/t
