OMG! Al Gore is doing the Saturday Night Live Opening!!!

I just had to post this-- Turn it on quick!!

edit to include: in this speech, he is the President of the United States!!!!

It's awesome!

Tell me what's happening. Is it worth turning on here in the West?

He was fantastic! :rofl:

issue!! He was good!

with El Presidente Scharzenegger

I'm sure it will be all over Al's internets tomorrow.

already. :)

You don't know why that's funny.

:rofl:

is no longer part of the USA, in the alternate USA. Sorry. :shrug:

who cares what the cultural make-up is.

OMG I am so psychic! I had no idea. thank you for posting - i caught most of it. funny!!!

It wouldn't have been half as funny if it wasn't the real deal! Hysterical. Did Al just launch his 08 campaign?

He ended his career on SNL and he just rebooted.

:woohoo:

:P

For a brief moment, I felt like I'd awakened from the nightmare of the last 6 years and all was well with the world again.

Love you, Al....

:shrug:

Six Flags of Afghanistan?

:woohoo: :woohoo:

ppplease

could have come true. If only...

Hope someone posts a video of this to see it again!

Damn, I was thinking that was a really good impressionist.

He was pretty damn funny.

You go Al!

Or will he being doing skits, too? (keep us west coast folks updated)

Weekend Update. I think this was all timed to help promote his film about global warming, which is ready to hit the theaters.

He was great in both bits.

Someone already posted a video of his opening monologue. Funny!

he's so comfortable with himself now -- he's changed so much in the last six years.

i'd give my left arm to have him be president in '08

When the announcer started with "the Prezident of the U. S." I didn't look up from the 'puter, expecting the lame Shrubbite. Then there was THAT VOICE and I FROZE!!!! FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!! First the potential ROVE news, then something good locally, then THIS! One Fine Day!

This is such a tease for this California girl. Can't wait to see it.

In the parallel universe where Al Gore is President, gasoline is only 19 cents a gallon, we've lent money to the Saudis - twice; we may have to bail out the oil companies - after all, they'd do the same for us!!!
for those on the west coast - you can NOT miss this!!!

Americans can't travel anywhere without people wanting to hug them. Too much gas. Universal health care we are all enjoying has cut surplus to a dangerous aa trillion.
The glacier hitting Boston could be bad but that machine he invented to stop hurricanes and earthquakes seems to be working.

Spring break in Afghanistan
Amusement park in Iraq? Very popular.

All Hail President Gore

Just to hear, "Ladies and Gentlemen, the President of the United States, Al Gore!" will give me major happiness.

for the last 8 years or so. Such a man of character. I hope I'm right about this too....PRESIDENT ALBERT GORE 2008!!!


"I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennesseeeee...."

SNL opens with a space shot
Announcer: Scientists have long speculated that infinite parallel worlds exist (5 different earths on screen) in different ways than the world we know. On these earths, history has taken different paths, on one, dinosaurs and man coexist, on another, the Russians were the first man to walk on the moon, on another still, Clay Aiken defeated Ruben Studdard. Come join us as we travel through the fabric of time and space to one of these mysteries, one of these parallel earths (earth turns into U. S. Presidential Seal)

Announcer: And now a message from the President of the United States

(Al Gore seated at his desk in the Oval Office)

AG: Good Evening my fellow Americans. In 2000, when you overwhelmingly made the decision to elect me as your 43rd President, I knew the road ahead would be difficult. We have accomplished so much yet challenges lie ahead. In the last 6 years, we have been able to stop global warming. No one could have predicted the negative results of this. Glaciers that were once melting, are now on the attack. As you know, these renegade glaciers have already captured parts of upper Michigan and northern Maine, but I can assure you, we will not let the glaciers win.

And now, in the 2nd week of May, 2006, we are facing perhaps the worst gas crisis in history. We have way too much gasoline. Gas is down to 19cents a gallon, and the oil companies are hurting. I know that I am partly to blame, by insisting that cars run on trash. I am therefore proposing a federal bail-out to our oil companies because hey, if it were the other way around, you know the oil companies would help us.

On a positive note, we worked hard to save welfare, fix Social Security, and of course, provide the free Universal Healthcare we all enjoy today. But all this came at a high cost. As I speak, the gigantic national budget surplus is down to a perilously low 11 trillion dollars. And don't get any ideas. That money is staying in the very successful lockbox. We're not touching it!

Of course, we could give economic aid to China, or lend money to the Saudis--again. But right now, we are already so loved by everyone in the world, American tourists can't even go over to Europe anymore without getting hugged.

There are some of you, who would like to spend our money on some made-up war. To you I say, 'What part of "lockbox" don't you understand?' What if there's a hurricane, or a tornado? Unlikely, I know because of the anti-hurricane and tornado machine I was instrumental in developing. But, what if? What if the scientists are right, and one of those giant glaciers hits Boston? That's why we have the lockbox.

As for immigration, solving that came at a heavy cost. And I personally regret the loss of California. However, the new Mexifornian economy is strong. El Presidente Schwarzenegger is doing a great job.

There have been some setbacks. Unfortunately, the confirmation process for Supreme Court Justice Michael Moore was bitter and divisive. However, I could not be more proud of how the House and the Senate pulled together to confirm the nomination of Chief Justice George Clooney.

Baseball, our national pastime, still lies under the shadow of steroid accusations. But I have faith in Baseball Commissioner George W. Bush when he says, 'We will find the steroid users, if we have to tap every phone in America'.

In 2001, when I came into office, our national security was the most important issue; the threat of terrorism was real. Who knew that 6 years later, Afghanistan would be the most popular spring break destination? That 6 Flags Tehran is the fastest growing amusement park in the middle east?

And the scariest thing we Americans have to fear is LIVE FROM NEW YORK, ITS SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE!

I was just about to ask if one existed.

Thanks!:bounce:

its very accurate, as I kept stopping and starting the DVR every few words, so everyone here could enjoy!

My hubby and I are burnin' the midnight oil to watch...



:woohoo:

Al surfaces again to debate Amy Poller on Global Warming!

:woohoo:

anywhere? I missed the beginning of it and would love to see it again.

though I haven't watched SNL since the days of John Belushi et al. Thanks for your great work!

His opening skit was absolutely marvelous! Oh that we lived in his parallel universe where he WERE President since 2000!!!!

i only read the transcript
lucky you got to see him

thanks again

Al was at his best, and came across amazingly well! He delivered his bit fantastically, and it was a joy to watch! Oh that he would RUN in 2008!!!!

right on

Transcribing is hard work.

Thank you for going to all that trouble--it's very much appreciated!

:yourock:

Enjoy! :hi:

:hi:

be sure to scroll down the thread, to catch the video link; you NEED to see it!!

Very funny.

type about global warming - quite funny. Especially the scientific research report where all but a few words were redacted.

please run Al

Wow! ... Just WOW!

He's running. Wow. That was a moment when they announced the "President of the United States" and it was Al Gore.

And he was so damned presidential! Hell, yeah!

Repeat .... He's running.

Thanks for the heads up. I don't watch SNL usually, so I would have missed it.

If we can move Unseen Al Gore Campaign Video to the Top 100 on Google, then 10,000's of people will see it. It is by someone who worked on the movie "On Being John Malkovich." This movie is the *real* Gore -- if it had shown prior to 2000 then there would've been enough Dem voters around the nation to overcome the GOP's ability to steal votes (as it existed in 2000). The Dem strategists/handlers did not want it shown - it wasn't the 'right image' -- another GREAT reason to fire all the asshole strategists/handlers.

:bounce:

Also come hang out in the Al Gore '08 Group Forum.

The more the merrier!

:bounce:

What a good man and a beautiful family.
