It's time .Mr. Al Franken should host SNL

[elehhhhna]

rec if you agree?

[veganlush]

1. yes. him and the other dems

should be out there everywhere on the tube where the young people can hear them.

[southerncrone]

5. Amen.

And Howard Dean.
I'd like to see Bernie Sanders on there, too.
Even Al Gore.
We need more media coverage, since we don't OWN any to speak of.

(Yeah, yeah, I know, "the liberal media" blah, blah, blah....)

[Drix]

2. Cameo maybe......

I don't know about hosting. He's had to spend too much time cultivating a serious political persona. His agenda requires credibility.

3. It has potential to be awesome, or suck, depending on how much the network leans on him.

4. Guilty confession: I've never liked his performances

His writing is brilliant, but I never got into his acting.

6. Stuart Smalley made me cringe

Just did not like that character.....

[Recursion]

8. Yeah. I guess the "Deep Thoughts" narration was OK, though (nt)

[dems_rightnow]

11. Jack Handey did "Deep Thoughts"

Jack Handey is a real person, still living, and did his own narration of those marvelous quotes.

7. Un-recced. SNL Sucks and Sen. Franken should not debase himself now.

[blondeatlast]

9. Last I heard he had steady work.

:shrug:

[Zax2me]

10. I always saw him as an SNL weak link

He makes for a much better US Senator!
