Al Franken & Seth Meyers | Giant of the Senate

- Senator Al Franken and Late Night host Seth Meyers discuss Franken’s new memoir onstage at Cooper Union.
“Giant of the Senate” is the story of an award-winning comedian who decided to run for office, and who subsequently discovered why award-winning comedians tend not to do that.
This is a book about an unlikely campaign that had an even more improbable ending: the closest outcome in history, and an unprecedented eight-month recount saga, which is pretty funny, in retrospect.
It's a book about what happens when the nation's foremost progressive satirist gets a chance to serve in the United States Senate and, defying the low expectations of the pundit class, actually turns out to be good at it.
It's a book about our deeply polarized, frequently depressing, occasionally inspiring political culture, written from inside the belly of the beast.
In this candid personal memoir, the honorable gentleman from Minnesota takes his army of loyal fans along with him from Saturday Night Live, to the campaign trail, inside the halls of Congress, and behind the scenes of some of the most dramatic and/or hilarious moments of his new career in politics.
Has Al Franken become a true Giant of the Senate? Franken asks readers to decide for themselves.

A tip for everybody who can not listen to the audio.
There is nothing wrong with your device.
Normally when you can not listen to the audio from a video clip means that this clip is audio coded in 7.1.
If your device have no merge settings for this channel setting then you hear nothing.,
In this case it the only chance to set your device to joint stereo or use a headset!
This problem comes usually not on desktop computers up, but on mobile devices!
Frank Meier Thank you!
Plugging a headset into my old Note 4 allowed me to watch this...with audio.
Thank you for the tip. Well done.
Frank Meier You win the prize for most sincerely useful youtube-comment ever! Thanks.
Ahh that’s why I can’t hear you.
I love how deep they got into their SNL history and comedy writing in general :D
great man
That John McCain sketch was a very good one.
Al Franken for President 2020
I wanted to hear this old news, but I couldn't.
Thanks, Strand Books, for the explanation!
5800 subscribers? Wow! Congrats!
Works now. :)
I am proud to have been born a Minnesotan!!!!
Al is the ONLY politician I have ever given Federal limits to. Money well spent!
You are thinking on a low level.
@@tomabernathy2368 Tom, thank you for acknowledging that I am thinking!
So not only does the audio suck, they gave them hand held mics even though they are sitting down the whole time.
I think that it was an appropriate usage. A huge point of discussion here is about Al Franken being a more of a comedian again, due to his ability to establish himself as a legit senator. Comedians use mics that they can hold.
Before Colbert Report was there was Al Franken.
He allways tells the last joke. He said it for example to Steven Colbert. He is the american answer to the great german comidian Fips Assmussen :-)
Audio issues!!
Sounds good now, really good. Two of my favorite dudes. Al channels Jim Gaffigan...
Sound's broken
It's been brought to our attention that the sound mix doesn't play well on some small speaker setups, but try listening with headphones--you should be able to hear it that way.
Muffled even with earphones on mobile.
Too quiet
Conversations like this one have become more common, it seems. One seasoned comedian interviewing another live to plug a thing & reminisce. And when they mention stuff they've done, there's almost an expectation of applause at the mention of the thing they did or the person they worked with. In America, anyway. Whenever one of those moments happens, I think of Steve Coogan being interviewed by Armando Iannucci. At one point Steve mentions some thing he did and says, 'If we were American, there'd be applause now.'
Gosh, he definitely believes he's the funniest guy around
And possibly the smartest and hardest working as well.
He's one of them.
Melissa you speak.love? Give me a break.
The devil on Al Franken's shoulder sounds a little like Lewis Black. He even has the same look as a devilish Al Franken.
Al Franken could be the next president, but the Republicans would say he's an Arab, because his name has the word "Al" in it.
Archer Sterling I think they would probably just stick to him being a Jew lol
Would love to hear what they're saying. Shame.

Inaudible
The two channels are out of phase so, if you're summing them together for mono, that would explain why it's inaudible.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Unfortunately there's not a lot we can do to remix the audio on this particular video, but try listening on headphones--you should be able to hear it.
@ blood honey
Which part? It sounds fine on my PC.
i think its been fixed since i left the msg
Franken/Harris 2020
this did not age well
Please remove this unintelligible video. What's the point of publishing more than an hour of nothing? maybe should be reported.
