I’ve read a couple of Al’s books and listen to his frank honest podcast. I pray for Al to run for Mn U.S. senate. We need a man with a spine and brain to represent us.

I am writing with an idea for a message which I hope can be used to reinvigorate support for Democratic Party candidates. It is based on the fact that the general public/electorate is frustrated by the current state of society. What about a reform of the tax laws? Let’s totally simplify the process. How about giving the middle class tax payer a 20% reduction to their last year’s taxes every year. To pay for it, raise the taxes for millionaires/ billionaires an absolute 5%. Make all corporations pay a minimum tax based on income, not profit. Maybe you can pass this along to your Democratic friends to see if it will take seed.

Your interview skills have evaporated. How do you think people are reacting to 3 years of war, unimaginable numbers of dead, & sirens? Tim Mak sharing the derogatory nickname for President Zelenskyy is regretful. And the Ukrainians “owe” us nothing. We should have brought them back into NATO while President Biden was still in office.

I don’t understand how this divinely inspired maga bunch has not been brought to task. These people think god is on their side. Cotton trump is going to do his deal supported by the whacked out want to be Islamic model. I’ll say this god help us, at least better than the civil war when everyone thought god was on their side

Was attempted in 2023-2024 but Trump told Repub. no - don’t vote for it. Tell Sarah Longwell.

Loved this episode. A bit disappointed that he didn’t talk at all about the early 80s, although perhaps not surprised, seeing as how the memories may be a bit painful (these include the Jean Doumanian years). Would still like to hear some stories. Couldn’t help noticing that the anniversary show itself mentioned Al not at all, nor did any of the articles I saw that talked about who wasn’t on the show, but nobody mentioned Al. Did I miss him? He said on the episode that he’d be in NYC for the anniversary show.🤔😉😊

Awesome to listen to Al’s experiences on SNL. Great stories!!! And a welcome break from…truly, for a change!:-) Thanks Al!!!

…in his place. Bill plays the both sides game. He was like George Carlin. Now, he is like Dennis Miller. The woke stuff makes him sound like a grouchy old guy.

I enjoy listening to Al Franken. He’s smart, funny & generally has great interviews & commentators join him. But I feel compelled to express my extreme dislike of this particular podcast (Episode 209). There were so many things that Peter Beinart said that were inaccurate & biased that Mr. Franken could have easily pushed back but didn’t. Would be nice to have others on the show with differing opinions much like Bari Weis does on her Honestly podcast.

Seven minutes of commercials before a very boring interview. You go Al. Make the $$$$. Trump should help you out with more content.
