Interview with Al Franken

[La_Serpiente]

Strib Commentary Editor Eric Ringham did this Q & A with Franken, published in the newspaper Dec. 7. It's hilarious:
Q Have you and the network decided whether to go ahead with a talk show?

A Well, they're pretty far along on putting the network in place. The question for me is whether I'm doing my show, which would be three hours a day, five days a week. So, it would essentially consume my life. So, I'm asking myself, "Is this the best way for me to spend the next 11 months going into this election? Is that the most effective use of my time?"

In the early part of this year I was researching the book, and then in the spring I was writing, and then I finished in July. And then I went on vacation thinking I would come back with a few weeks to actually focus on this whole radio thing -- and Fox sued me. Which meant that we released the book earlier. So I've been on this book tour since late August.
