Franken/O'Reilly comparisons

[CatWoman]

Anybody know anything about the "Lateline" show?

I've never heard of it.

1. Was Lateline

the show he did with Arianna Huffington? :shrug: If it is, it didn't last long. They were "strange bedfellows". They did the show sitting in bed, I think.

4. Lateline was a sitcom about a Nightline type show...

The thing with Huffington was "Strange Bedfellows" which was segment on Politically Incorrect, I believe.

3. yeah really...

Or should I have said "O'Really!"

Wow, everybody, Al Franken doesn't have a top rated show, he must be a loser! Pul-leeze!

5. Personally,

I love Al Franken, just ordered his book, BTW. Catwoman asked if anyone had ever heard of his show, Lateline. I answered her question. How did you deduce it was a slam on Mr. Franken? He's not a loser! I don't think that is what Catwoman intended and it certainly was not my intention. He's a winner, in my book. We need more like him.

7. Thanks, Bud

:hi:

No way would I ever slam Al!!!!!!

I just found the comparisons interesting.

and the tv show (current) comparison does bother me.

A LOT.

9. I can't wait to get his new book!

Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot was GRRREAT! I have "Why not me" but wasn't able to make it past the first few chapters. May have had to do with the fact that I was just starting school, but I just couldn't get into it....I think I'll try again :)

I enjoyed the comparison too, and like you found the "tv comparison" to be...er...skewed. They said the "doomed Lateline" or whatever, but I think that's a bit disingenuous because that show came out a while ago, as far as I know. They should have said 'No TV show currently" or something of that nature.....

I wonder why Al Franken doesn't run for president :)

11. The list looked like it was smearing Al...

not any of you kids.

8. Lateline

Lateline was a comedy spoof of Nightline. I think it was more of a situational comedy. Went over many heads I assume.

The thing with Huffington was on PI.

10. Lateline had at least one classic episode

about the death of Buddy Hackett...

one of the great half-hours of TV comedy...
