Al Franken | Politician

It’s not a secret that Al Franken was one of the best and most hilarious comedians in the entertainment industry. Besides comedy, Franken was once a prolific actor and writer who’s best known for his contributions on Saturday Night Live. He was also an established writer, and he was able to write a good number of satirical books. Without a doubt, he was succeeding in multiple platforms, and it’s such a mystery why he decided to walk away from the entertainment industry.

While it may be true that Franken walked away from Hollywood, he remained in the spotlight in the succeeding years. He always had a certain degree of fascination with politics, and he eventually ran for a seat in Senate. Franken finally won the Minnesota seat back in 2009, and he received re-election in 2014 for a second term. Indeed, Franken went through a hard-fought battle coming up to his present accolades.
