Al Franken's week behind the "Daily Show" desk won't inspire a campaign to make him the long-running program's permanent host. But it was a firm reminder that the former Minnesota senator's top priority these days is comedy.
The man who once lobbied, unsuccessfully, to be the "Weekend Update" anchor on "Saturday Night Live," started his four-night gig with a high-profile visit.
The guest was Lindsey Graham, the South Carolina Republican senator who forged an unlikely friendship with Franken during their mutual time in Congress. Franken would resign in 2018 after accusations of sexual impropriety.
