At 'SNL,' I wrote political stuff, but I never felt the show should have an axe to grind. But when I left in '95, I could let my own beliefs out.

Al Franken
Demagoguery sells. And therefore, radio stations will put it on. But that doesn't mean that you can't do something else and also make it sell.
Al Franken
When you live in New York, one of two things happen - you either become a New Yorker, or you feel more like the place you came from.
Al Franken
To ask whether the mainstream media has a conservative or liberal bias is like asking whether al-Qaida uses too much oil in their hummus. It's - I think they might use too much oil in their hummus - but it's the wrong question.
Al Franken
Bill Clinton is the greatest president of the 20th century because I played touch football with him.
Al Franken
We know that the Russian's interfered in our election and they did it to benefit President Trump. The intelligence agencies confirmed that.
Al Franken
