didn't he sexually assault a number of women? I think anyone who sexually assaults people should not be in office, regardless what side of the isle they're on. How can you apply a double standard to Al Franken?
I heard he doesn't want to be full-time host. (Maybe he's holding out for another run at politics. He didn't want to run against Kirsten Gillibrand but he could enter some other way; it would be nice!)
I just realized that if Jon Stewart and David Letterman had a baby, it would be Al Franken! I don't know about you but I'm so torn between my favorite guest hosts so far; Al Franken, Roy Wood Jr, and Marlon Wayans. Looking forward to Jordan Klepper, Desi Lydic, Michael Kosta, Ronny Chieng, and Lewis Black. The bar has been set pretty high.
If we're voting on it, Al could become the permanent host. If he doesn't want to work full-time, he can do three or four days a week, and another of the brilliant guest hosts can come in for the rest of the week.
Please please please PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let Al Franken become the permanent Daily Show host. He is deeply funny and he is deeply inspiring, going strong and standing tall after multiple strike-downs in his life. It is an honor, Al.
We all definitely need a lot more AL Franken. Maybe the Daily Show could give him Tuesday night, Jordan Wednesday, and Desi gets Thursday night. Problem solved.
Al, America needs YOU ! your honesty, your clarity, your intelligence and your humor. PLEASE run for President in 2024, you'd be doing us a favor and Joe needs a rest; he did a fantastic job !
There was no reason for AL to be booted out of the Senate. It was only because Kirsten Gillibrand thought making AL a sacrificial lamb would raise her visibility and political success. It didn't; deservedly so.
He wasn't booted out. He let a gang of gormless jerks railroad him instead of going through due process. That was unfortunate, and I reckon he knows that now. I wish he'd give it another go.
Yes there are men who serious commit SA amd those are who #metoo was originally designed to try and prosecute. Actual criminals who use their power and influence to avoid being prosecuted for actual crimes . Someone like him who just was a bit inappropriate once or twice is not the issue most women wanted me too to fix. We want safety from real danger. If men are a bit rude it is fine to just day. Hey! I don't like it if you are acting like that to me! And problem solved.
Recall that the Stormy Daniels coverup was already heated. The Dem leadership thought that by having Franken become a sacrificial lamb despite his entanglement was during his comic days, that Trump, would ultimately take a high road. Trump did not, and Dem leadership later voiced regret.
Having Al Franken as permanent host of the Daily Show would set it apart from all the other late night shows which are all hosted by generic comedians.
In your country, You can use deadly force if someone parks in the wrong driveway or even knock on your door, I hardly doubt some armed IRS agent is a big deal.
If we all, including corporations; were taxed at a simple ten percent, without loopholes or deductions , we could ditch the audit altogether. Just move that decimal point one place to the left; and done! This would eliminate tax fraud, cash flight, and perhaps on the negative side, the jobs of eleven million people working for the IRS, whose salaries would be eliminated and would also practically double the take for the Feds. The arcane construction of our tax system not only makes it imperitive to use a CPA, it makes the job of the auditor as complex as the CPA's. Hoisted by its own petard, the system can no longer manage its miscreants; so I"m begging anyone with influence to consider my formula. Corportions who presently can wiggle out of every dime; would under this formula; be paying billions as a group ; plus, for those fanatics on the Right, it's in the Bible: Isiaiah, 12/1; something about sheep.
I think your idea is sound, but 10% seems pretty idealistic; it would probably need to be in the 20-30 range. Also, the IRS would probably still need more employees; currently they are so understaffed the estimated tax gap from 2014-2016 (the most recent available estimate) is a cool half trillion. which doesn't even account for taxes lost to fraud, only the gap between taxes paid and income reported.
04:35 "It feels like we baby boomers got the last chopper out of Saigon." I've been feeling that way for awhile. We're already lost. 09:08 "Were you you really a Senator?" "Yes. Yes, I was"
I still think Chelsea Handler would make a better host, but Al Franken is a close second! Chelsea it's just more modern quicker with it and can really get sarcastic!😂😂
Sadly the perp walk....yeah that didn't really happen. But i mean money or celebrity or not, we are all treated the same as criminals, yessir no class stuff matters then boy howdy. Pull the other one then, merica.
America seems a distopy, this country never worried about human rights and freedom, and is known for the amount of control, surveillaance and manipultation but you always talk about this like you believed in this paralel reallity, really weird!
Turns out Tom Davis was the funny one. The only thing I've ever enjoyed Franken in was his "one-man satellite unit broadcasting from the Middle East" sketch. That's only because he was eaten by buzzards at the end.
I am 46...I know there's a lot more humans on the planet now but, being poor growing up...I didn't have to pay for school food until high school. Do better America!
I really don't want to take that last chopper. I would really like to stop the horrible future we are leaving our kids. Until money is removed completely from politics it won't happen. 😢
Al Franken was one of my favorites.
Love you, Al!
LOVE this man!
❤ I've Always LOVED AL he was a Great Senator, I wish he had never removed HIMSELF from Congress!
He should have stayed.
Yep resigning with a Republican governor was a pretty lame move. I lost a lot of respect for Al .
@@johnbrown1851 Same here.
didn't he sexually assault a number of women? I think anyone who sexually assaults people should not be in office, regardless what side of the isle they're on. How can you apply a double standard to Al Franken?
Senator having dry humour is hillarious.
Master Comedian becoming the lion of the USA Senate - then abandoned by cowardly dems who then lost 9O % of their testosterone *hilarious* ... : /
Yeah but he's an accomplished, 'legendary'comedian'.
Heyyyyyy,who put a red tie on our Al?????? 😏
I love Al Franklin.
No. WE ❤ Al.
He's always been a very funny man. His Saturday Night Live role as Stuart Smalley was golden, back in the 90's
I voted for him to be my Senator, and I now wish to vote for him to be my new Daily Show host.
Have always loved Al Franken's humor 😄
His impersonations are great. Also love Franken's dry humor.
What is so "dry" about it?
Mr. Franken, your impressions are SO spot on‼️😂
I love Al. He was the best senator ever.
AL FRANKEN SHOULD BE GIVEN THE POSITION OF PERMANENT HOST ON THE DAILY SHOW! 😃
So he can toss softballs at ppl? No, please, anyone but him.
he's too old and probably too busy. maybe my fav guest host tho
I feel the same
YES
He does have the resume
This is gold!
Love Al!!! 🤍🤍🤍
Make him the host.He knows politics and humour and he is extremely funny.
I heard he doesn't want to be full-time host. (Maybe he's holding out for another run at politics. He didn't want to run against Kirsten Gillibrand but he could enter some other way; it would be nice!)
He would be able to get some big interviews, because he knows all those DC people personally.

The Lewis black week is gonna be so fire
Roy wood and looking forward to Desi Lydec. I feel they could host together and just recreate the show in a completely amazing way.
My vote is for Leslie Jones and Al Franken
I can't say enough about Al Franken👍👍
Mike Pence appeared on the noose...... love it 😂
After all these years and the laughs he's presented to us. He was a great senator and I think he deserves this job, !
That climate sketch was on another level. Laughing and crying at same time.
Al Franken for President 2024
Former Senator in the house.
Wish he would come back!
He was just amazing for his age 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
He was amazing for any age.
Anthony Figueroa: Age brings firsthand knowledge of what we have lived through and combines it with the wisdom of perspective.
Thank you, Al! A loyal follower and please come back
I love this man!
If we're voting on it, Al could become the permanent host. If he doesn't want to work full-time, he can do three or four days a week, and another of the brilliant guest hosts can come in for the rest of the week.
Satire is fine, but the last chopper out of Saigon...that was real!
Please please please PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let Al Franken become the permanent Daily Show host. He is deeply funny and he is deeply inspiring, going strong and standing tall after multiple strike-downs in his life. It is an honor, Al.
AF for host!
I love AL
Those impressions were fantastic.
at 2:29, 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Put this on a mug and I'll buy it!.
So so funny ☆☆☆☆☆
YES, I was waiting for this recap. I ❤️ him, and he would make a great permanent host with his dry wit.
I love this Desi she is just the bee's knees.
"We have the best government money can buy." Mark Twain
We all definitely need a lot more AL Franken. Maybe the Daily Show could give him Tuesday night, Jordan Wednesday, and Desi gets Thursday night. Problem solved.
Oh man... I just watched your C-SPAN 96 banquet speaking and got all the jokes!!! Too funny.
I needed this! Great timing …
Fine-ah-LEE!
Al, America needs YOU ! your honesty, your clarity, your intelligence and your humor. PLEASE run for President in 2024, you'd be doing us a favor and Joe needs a rest; he did a fantastic job !
Al Franken for president!!!!!

@@S.Pociecha He took the high road. I'll vote for him any day. He always asked the right questions... which they hated ( snark * stealth humor)
Yes there are men who serious commit SA amd those are who #metoo was originally designed to try and prosecute. Actual criminals who use their power and influence to avoid being prosecuted for actual crimes .

@@S.Pociecha He did give it another go. Last year he ran for senate in his state and lost. He should move to California and run to replace Feinstein.

Great to see you.
Here is an idea. Co-hosts. Franklin and Black. I would love to see those two playing off each other.
Those two are basically twins. Double the humor, double the sarcasm😊😌😃
Having Al Franken as permanent host of the Daily Show would set it apart from all the other late night shows which are all hosted by generic comedians.
.... make the Senate great again !
He would bring humor and political knowledge 😅
Name a better Al, I dare you
Love the baby boomers reference ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Water always returns to where it was.
Bahbye Florida etc.
And Desi? She is just the most beautiful and funny person
would love to see a woman get this gig, but someone needs to put al on the air
Just like SNL, live from New York, Saturday night (Live)!
Bring Back Al Franken to Congress!!! So incredibly unfair and ridiculous.
I love Al, but I’m voting Kal. 💞
Al frabken should reprise his role as Stewart :-) on the Saturday night live where do a guest host on the same show
Didn't Al Franken do Weekend Update on SNL DECADES ago? Life has a way of coming back around.
In your country, You can use deadly force if someone parks in the wrong driveway or even knock on your door, I hardly doubt some armed IRS agent is a big deal.
We should be so lucky 😢

Roy still has my first vote but Al would be outstanding if he's given up on returning to the senate.
Al Franken has to adress the women
04:35 "It feels like we baby boomers got the last chopper out of Saigon."
I've been feeling that way for awhile. We're already lost. 09:08 "Were you you really a Senator?"
"Yes. Yes, I was"
I love Al's humor and hate his politics. I think there's quite a few like me.
This world is not just about humans!
I’m smart enough and people like me
Baby Boomers, the last 'Vestage'..!
Uber lowbrow but ill take anything ❤😜🤙
What a shame we lost him as a Senator.
Al is Great, however as a Boomer myself, I believe the relatively young Daily Show audience would decrease.
He’s too funny and cute to let his age stand in the way.
Stuart Smalley. He sexually harassed a woman. Where is Klepper? Klepper conveniently missed his chance to ask him questions😅
I still think Chelsea Handler would make a better host, but Al Franken is a close second! Chelsea it's just more modern quicker with it and can really get sarcastic!😂😂
I think that’s what make his comedic delivery so funny.😄
Who had the most views?
I feel like it was Hasan?
Yo momma Al.
Why hasn’t Daniels been charged
Al : you are worth $10 million (why I don't know) . Why are you so quick to destroy the system that gave you that wealth ? Shame on you
😂😂😂
Sadly the perp walk....yeah that didn't really happen. But i mean money or celebrity or not, we are all treated the same as criminals, yessir no class stuff matters then boy howdy. Pull the other one then, merica.
What world is Drazkowski from?
You are hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great job but Roy should be new host.
America seems a distopy, this country never worried about human rights and freedom, and is known for the amount of control, surveillaance and manipultation but you always talk about this like you believed in this paralel reallity, really weird!

The audience must be dull!
Rude
@@michel3691 okay. Great
Nahhhh, we love ❤️ it!!!! Look in the mirror, you will find not only dull but a maggot cult member living in the TWILIGHT ZONE 😂😂
We really know nothing about them, but we don't have to call them dull or great.
Laughing stupidly.
I swear I thought this guy was cancelled for being a creep.
he self canceled himself after apologizing for a harmless but offensive picture.
Nope trump da creep is still running around lying and grabbing women's you know what
@@Rage867 Ahh I see. Thank you for clarifying.
Sorry Al, this was not for you.
So, we're ok with a disgraced senator hosting the Daily Show? What happened to the whole #MeToo movement? We're supposed to forgive him now?
I liked Al Franken. Not anymore. Please never do that again.
Stiff and unnatural and unwatchable. All I could think was how someone else would have nailed to delivery on these stories and jokes.
Go Al
Ya mean like you mess up his orange toupee for the mug shot. Like to look like James Brown's mug shot.
Al Shumer and the Chinese restaurant and the mushu pork: if I you're a Reformed Jew, you'll know how hilarious this is..
Miss you in congress, but this is probably more fun. Hope you stay around.
I am 46...I know there's a lot more humans on the planet now but, being poor growing up...I didn't have to pay for school food until high school. Do better America!
I miss you being in government. The dingbats there now is scaring me
Al’s impression of Susan Collins was spot-on!
They were colleagues, makes sense.
I really don't want to take that last chopper. I would really like to stop the horrible future we are leaving our kids. Until money is removed completely from politics it won't happen. 😢
Hah
we love you Al
I just need to find $11,780 rent monies.
