Al Franken on tonight on "Tough Crowd w/ Colin Quinn"

[AlFrankenFan]

It's 11:30 PM I believe...for me it's on at 8:30...which means I have about twenty minutes until.
Sorry if there is already a thread like this, because if there is, I did not see it.
So, after you see it, post your comments. I will.

1. Who died in Al Franken's "immediate" family?

I heard he was not on one of the talk shows because of this. Anyone know the story?

3. Um, he's not on here in this market. Are you sure it was tonight?

Or did he have to skip because his mom died?

5. I'm sorry...

I lost my dad back in 96, when I was 16. It's really hard this time of year. I'll be sending you good wishes in my thoughts. Have a Merry Christmas.
