Humorist Al Franken's mastery of ironic delivery and unapologetic opinions have won him increasing popularity for his political commentary, including his irreverent coverage of national political conventions and election nights, his frequent appearances on Politically Incorrect, and his best-selling book Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations, for which he won a Grammy for Best Comedy Album. Part of the original writing staff that created Saturday Night Live in the 1970s, Franken earned five Emmy Awards for his work on the groundbreaking show as well as widespread recognition for his uncanny impersonations and host of fabulous characters, including the inimitable self-help guru Stuart Smalley. Politically savvy and predictably hilarious, Franken shares his humorous observations and insights about current events, exposing with his rapier-sharp wit the abundant ironies of the world as we know it.
