  • Special Description : Al Franken was a big-time cast member of the long running sketch comedy TV series Saturday Night Live.  He eventually ended up as a Senator of the United States from the state of Minnesota, and this is the story of how he utilized his comedic background, to help write government policy. There are a couple of books that he wrote while in the Senate.  See other books I have posted by Al Franken if you are interested in his other Senatorial adventures.  Note: Al Franken has since lost his Senatorial seat due to accusations of sexual misconduct.  Though he won his seat in 2008, and re-won his seat with a landslide 95% of the vote in 2014, the allegations that later surfaced in November of 2017, became too egregious to ignore, and had  varying levels of inappropriate misconduct from forced kissing, fondling, etc.  Al Franken resgined his Senate seat on January 2nd 2018, and the Governor of Minnesota appointed Tina Smith (Lt Governor) to hold the seat until the next election in the fall of 2018.  Tina Smith later won and held the seat in the 2018 Special Election, and remains elected to this seat still today (as of Sept of 2021).  In the coming weeks/months, many of the fellow Senators that called for Franken's resignation before he was able to be heard before the Senate Ethics Committee stated that they regretted their decisions, and that Franken was not given fair due process to defend himself against the accusations. 
  • Franken's Response & Fallout : Between 2017 - 2019, 9 women came forward as part of the "Al Franken Me Too Movement", presenting their stories of being groped, forced to uncomfortably receive his kissing/advances, and otherwise uncomfortable advances. In 2019, Franken said that he was sorry that he made some women feel uncomfortable, and that while he was still trying to understand what he did wrong, he felt that that differentiating different kinds of behavior is important. "The idea that anybody who accuses someone of something is always right—that's not the case. That isn't reality.  Two years ago, I would have sworn that I’d never done anything to make anyone feel uncomfortable, but it's clear that I must have been doing something. As I've said before, I feel terrible that anyone came away from an interaction with me feeling bad."  Before these allegations, Al Franken was a favorite member of the Senate, drafting and taking part in political policy. These days, he seems to be attempting a return to the comedy world, where he began his career with Saturday Night Live, as a cast member.
