Al Franken won out over the toxic and distorted attacks on his character during the 2008 Minnesota U.S. Senate race. Producer Jeff Strate says that Al's sense of humor and his sharp satire have been apparent since 1976 when he and performing partner Tom Davis first work on Saturday Night Live. This affectionate defense includes rare video of Al and Tom staging a revue at Dudly Riggs; ETC coffee house in Minneapolis duirng their first year as SNL writer/performers. Also included are clips from Al's U.S. Senate victory rally on June 30, 2009.
