All the legends who came up on 'Saturday Night Live'
You might know Al Franken as the U.S. senator from Minnesota who resigned in 2017 amid allegations of sexual misconduct, but he also has major history with "SNL." Hired first as a writer for the show in 1975, he officially joined the cast in 1977 during Season 3 (although he did make earlier appearances). Al is probably best remembered for his role as Stuart Smalley, who gave daily affirmations and coined the popular phrase "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough and doggone it, people like me!" (which was also the title of his first book). Other notable sketches include "The Franken and Davis Show," where Al was known to bring on guests like his own parents (shown). Al remained with "SNL" for years, both as a writer and recurring cast member, publishing books in his spare time (like "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot" and "Lies: And the Lying Liars Who Tell Them") before finally stepping down in 2007 so he could pursue a career in politics.
