You Can Call Him Al

On this week’s Al Franken podcast, he goes full entertainment -- or largely entertainment, given his guest’s interests and activities -- because his guest is Norman Lear about his 99 years on the planet.”  As Al notes, he talks with “the legendary creator of groundbreaking TV sit coms -– All in the Family, Maude, Sanford and Sons, The Jeffersons, et al, on flying 50 bombing missions in WWII, the joy of comedy and, dare I say, satire.”  I don't think this is one of Al's best interviews -- he's much too much of a fan here, but it's a treat hearing Norman Lear and his stories.
