Franken on Letterman.

[aquart]

Just heard the announcement.

[Lex]

1. I like Franken

and I like his radio show.

I guess I'm in the minority here at DU on that. :shrug:

[proud patriot]

2. I like Al Too

:pals:

[alphafemale]

5. I like Al now. When he was on SNL he irritated the hell outta me.

I never realized how smart...or funny he was.

The characters he played there limited him.

(That Stuart Smiley thing made me want to throw things at my TV.)

[Sacajawea]

12. He did the Stuart Smiley thing on AAR on Friday afternoon...

It was mildly amusing. But that "Enid Davenport" routine he did on Thursday was absolute dreck!

[alphafemale]

23. On the radio it's not as bad. I think it was the visual that pegged my

freak meter.

[aquart]

20. Me, too. I hated him on SNL.

I began to warm up when appeared on Politically Incorrect in bed with Arianna.

[GrumpyGreg]

3. Thanks for the heads-up!

[mokawanis]

4. Al's ok

Anyone who makes a fool of O'Lielly like Franken did is a friend of mine.

[FreedomAngel82]

14. Me too

I enjoy listening to him from time to time. I really like watching him on the Sundance Channel. :) I miss Katherine on there. :( I'm reading his book now and I'm enjoying it. :) Hopefully this weekend I'll get to read some more of it.

6. looks like a rerun? "last week's NY subway terror scare?"

whuh?

[GrumpyGreg]

7. Letterman seems to take an awful lot of time off,doesn't he?

[Gabi Hayes]

8. maybe he's hanging out with cheney and his heart specialist

still not sure if it's a rerun....

Franken on now. should be obvious soon

[immoderate]

9. The Friday show is shot on Monday.

They double up on Mondays. I heard Al describe it on his radio show.

--IMM

[Lex]

10. Tonight is *not* a repeat . . .

and Dave typically doubles up on Thursday so that he tapes 2 shows on Thursday night. The 2nd one is for Friday night.

I've been there on a Thursday night so I know that much to be true.

[marbuc]

16. The show was taped on Monday, as are all Dave's Friday shows

according to Al

[proud patriot]

19. It was recorded a few days ago

:hi:

[Lubernaut]

11. I was gonna see Al do his show in Boulder

next month, but I just got jury duty for the same day!

Oh well.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

13. He'sdoing great tonight. I feel like I'm watching an old friend

because I listen to him regularly on AAR. And Dave obviously really enjoys him.

[Gabi Hayes]

15. Cheney and Rove are going to be EXecuted!

Laughed my bosoms off!

oops...make that Libby and Cheney are going to be executed.

[Gabi Hayes]

17. ''I think we should NEVER, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever execute

a sitting president.''

[CottonBear]

21. Bwahahahaha! That was priceless! n/t

[aquart]

18. "We should never, ever execute a sitting president."

<beg>

[NYCGirl]

22. Al's delivery was just spot on, and his timing was great. I know he's a

big fan of Jack Benny, and I must say that Al's getting quite Benny-esque.

[Kensingtonian]

24. I was searching my memory.....

Very Benny-esque indeed.

It was like he was channeling Jack.

[NYCGirl]

25. And that's high praise indeed. NT
