It's been rumored that Al Franken would jump ship from Air America Radio for awhile now. First people said that if Kerry won, he'd leave. Then it was that he'd leave in 2005 to work on a 2006 run for Senate in Minnesota.
I was just watching Conan O'Brien [for the first time in ages] and he was the first guest. Conan asked Franken about the rumors and Franken frankly responded that a 2008 run is not out of the question. He said that he was planning on moving back to Minnesota next year and that the show may go with him. I hope that he discussed this with Katherine, the crew and the rest of AAR beforehand.
I've found Franken to be funny for a long time and I've also found him to be pretty full of himself as well, so letting the cat out of the bag this way isn't beyond him, but I really hope it is.
Tune in Wednesday between Noon and 3p to see what happens on the show.
