Dem candidate helps craft McCain 'SNL' skit

Al Franken, the former "Saturday Night Live" star now running in a high-profile Senate race in Minnesota, helped craft the opening sketch mocking John McCain that is slated to kick off the NBC comedy show tonight, according to two well-placed sources inside the network.

Franken, who hasn’t been a staff writer on the show for 13 years, “phoned in” a spoof of McCain recording campaign ads in an edit booth, said an NBC source. Seth Meyers, the show’s current head writer, wrote it, but the sketch was hatched by Franken, a longtime liberal satirist and comedian.

An SNL insider said that, as of the Wednesday script read-through, Franken was the “credited writer with Meyers” on the opening sketch. Show veteran Darrell Hammond is to play McCain.

Go Al!!

Al Gore's line: people said I was patronizing - patronizing, of course, means "talking to people like they're stupid." and, maybe they were right.

in 2002! Funny! What's curious to me is that lorne michaels has reportedly donated to the repukes ..so who's in charge here?

Franken, Gore & NYCGirl~

...and they had him on the couch, on his back, playing with a ball of yarn?

I nearly peed my pants!

:rofl:

about Gore and Pearl Jam was in a skit too.

One had Gore in the Oval Office and I forget it exactly but you could get the sense what it would have been like for him as our Prez.

Also Franken and Gore did a scene..it's pretty hazy for me now..I should go back and review it.

He likely contributed to such classics like "Sammurai Chef" and "Jane, you ignorant slut!"

...just reading this. I read it out loud to my husband, and I could barely talk.

I just know this is going to be so hilarious!

And you know what...I just know that this is going to drive McNuts even more nuts.

Man, that guy had a total shit week. It was like an O Henry story or something...each hour worse than the last and
full of hilarious gaffes.

:rofl:

Those bastards should be in jail.

That was great :)))
