Al Franken (born May 21, 1951) is a Jewish-American comedian, author, screenwriter, political commentator, and radio host, noted for his liberal politics. Franken first achieved national prominence on Saturday Night Live as the writing and performing partner of Tom Davis. His more recent career accomplishments are politically-oriented, authoring books such as Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations, serving as host of the flagship program from Air America Radio, and taking steps (such as creating a PAC) which may lead to a possible candidacy for the Democratic nomination to represent Minnesota in the United States Senate in 2008 against incumbent Senator Norm Coleman.
