Huffington Post had a story earlier today Franken’s First Time Around: Comedian-Turned-Senator Questioned “Clarence Thomas” In 1991 SNL Sketch and it occured to me: Every time Franken does something, somebody is going to drag out an old SNL sketch about the subject. If he does something on health care, people will drag out the “Brain Tumor Comedian” bit. Does something about aging and people will pull out some appropriate Stuart Smalley piece.
I’m not all that familar with the current cast; When SNL spoofs a senate committe hearing, who are they going to pick to play Franken?
