Lol, no. We need more capable professionals in office who can work to get something done, not another mouthpiece that says a lot, but does nothing. Can you name even one of his accomplishments in the Senate?

Al Franken your humor is really funny. I can only imagine when you were in the Senate how you kept your Democratic colleagues in stitches by laughing with your jokes behind the scenes. Always look forward to listening to your podcasts. 👍
Yes, Al. Just say yes; throw your hat in the ring again. We.NEED your 'candid' observations to keep us going... better laughing than... well, ya know. Geezes we miss you!
Frankly, almost everyone in my family, even at age 110, would have thought the congrats letter was funny. We have what my dad used to call a "warped sense of humor". (got it from him). I wish Al would run again.
I remember AL on SNL playing a reporter on seen and he had a Sat. dish for a hat. At the time a Sat dish on a truck would have been 8' across. He was funny and ahead of his time.
@@darindunn 13 women???? Are you fucking serious? Thats a bullshit story. Take off you social warrior tin foil helmet and wake the fuck up. He resigned over a stupid fucking photo.

I’m still angry that he was pressured to resign from Congress. It was just a terrible miscarriage of justice and I believe Kirsten Gillibrand had a lot to do with it.
Ah Al.......you are always so refreshing!! I just love you to bits! I just celebrated my 80th birthday.....will keep in mind my bright future! Al said so! G.
My absolute favourite Al Franken character was Stuart Smally...My best friend and I would watch those skits on SNL and tears would literally be streaming down our faces. The best one of those was when Michael Jordan was a guest. Absolutely hilarious. 🤣💖

You are incorrect on that one.
Come back Al. We need you in the Senate.

Al Franken was brilliant at asking piercing questions when he was on any Senate committee
He was inconsistent.
He needs to run for reelection. Full stop.
@@1223steffen Inconsistently inconsistent.
As in, he was consistent.
He was also a sexual predator
@@1223steffen NOT true and YOU have zero proof of that

Me too!!! I just think he’s great and really really smart!!🥰♥️☮️
I know, I do too. He got a raw deal.

Just saw him speak in Austin, Tx. in December - always admired him, and now couldn't adore him more! We need more smart comedians in public service!
i know where they found a good use for comedians in politics. get this man a gun
Like President Zelenskiyy

When Biden does too.

My mother lived to be 90, and if someone had said that to her on her 90th birthday, she would have laughed till she cried.
I wish Al would run again. We need a strong intelligent voice in Congress.
I totally agree.I wish he would run again.Most definitely.
*He never should have resigned.*
Agreed!
He should run for President.
He was a Senator.

why can't we get someone good instead?

I find him funny & enjoyed his books, AL the senate & America needs you back 😉
Yes, Al. Just say yes; throw your hat in the ring again. We.NEED your 'candid' observations to keep us going... better laughing than... well, ya know. Geezes we miss you!
We love you, Al. Wish you had not resigned. As with apologies, it's always those with the most integrity resign.
I'm a lifelong MN resident (with the exception of a few college years). I thought he was an excellent senator. I wish he hadn't resigned.
Agree
I would agree, but I think it was needed for the time, and I think it's better for him to not be a senator. He seems to be doing better.
He shouldn't have resigned.
I’m glad
@Clem T, I'm pretty sure he knows that.
Agree
Should've never been in senate in the first place
He molested sleeping women
The Great Al Franken~! We love you.
“…and then I started thinking of her 90 year old son.” Got me Franken! 😂
laugh out loud this morning watching this - common denominator is great humor - thanks
Al Franken -
I would vote for you again Al! Please consider running again
Probably won’t get to see him on tour but would love to see him back in the senate
I agree, we really miss you Al.
Love you, Al Franken!!!
Al Franken you are one of the best. Love seeing Jimmy laugh out loud with his whole body.😂
So true From Minnesota
Who wouldn't want to receive a sarcastic "thank you" letter from Al Franken?? Lol I would!
Al is one of the greatest!
Mr Franken, I am a big fan of your PODCAST 👍 Thank you 🙏 and greetings from Germany
one of the greatest senators we have ever had. please come back.
I've heard the "you have a bright future" joke several times and it still cracks me up! :D
Watched this at 3am and almost woke my family 😆😆🤣🤣😂
Franken was a smart and thoughtful senator. I wish he would run again. I know he made a mistake but compared to Trump he is a choir boy.
Nine women
How many people trump paid to have an abortion? I like that Johnny Carson bit you did there.
I’m not convinced he made those “mistakes “. He was effective and people loved him.
@@1223steffen is a thin softball team.
It was a put up job. He was getting too popular.
We stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦
Got to see Al in Portland, he did an hour n a half, it seemed like a half hour, brilliant!
Al Franken is so awesome 👌🏼
Perverts also believe he was awesome in that photo.
We really miss you in congress, Al.
I don’t he is one of the ugliest things I have ever seen
I wish All Franken was Senator Franken.again

Put this man back in the Senate.

NO! No more celebrities.
We need Al back !!!!!

Boebert and MTGreen can be in Congress but Franken can’t. That is a shame. Franken is so smart and so funny. Where did we go this wrong?
Senator franken took responsiblity for his mistakes unlike those two morons.
Because he sexually assaulted 13 women. The other two simply have a different view on the issues than you.

Frankin’s only crime was being a progressive. That is why the corporate dems shoved him out. So sorry he resigned.
Who's "we?"
Run Al Run! We know your thinking about it. 😍
goddamnit, we need al franken back in politics!

Brilliant guy all around. Surely a loss for Minnesotans not having him in the Senate. Definitely a loss for Americans.

I've always loved Al Franken. I remember seeing his signs across my city and him being elected as a kid.

I wish he would run for office. I miss him
I miss my senator too. I wrote and begged him to remain my Minnesota senator. To leave over an accusation that happened year's ago when he was on SNL
So?

That clap was meant to be so patronizing, and it was...tear, rip.
We need him back in senate
You've got a bright future! And then I thought about her ninty year old son! Cracked me up!!!!!🤣😅😝
He should have said re: trump's SotU address, "not so moving -- more like a bowel movement."
Good one!
Come on Al, the country needs you. Run again!
Pelosi kinda did the sarcastic clap. Funny af.
Al needs a beer stein. Then he could call it Franken's stein...
good on! made this 'ole lady lmfao!!
What a tragic loss to democracy. He is still a gift to us all. I'm So Grateful.
