  ..? Jack Handey != Al Franken
  • DougN7 10y ago
    I'm pretty sure they are the same person. Lookup Al Franken.
    • guelo 10y ago
      No. Jack Handey is the name of a real comedian and he read his own stuff on SNL.

        You're right. I'm mixing up Stuart Smalley and Jack Handey.
  • ChillyWater 10y ago
    Without checking the interweb, isn't Stuart Smalley == Al Franken?

  Jack Handey is an actual person, the writer of the one-liners GP refers to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Handey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Handey (I'm not sure if he recorded the voiceover performance or not). Al Franken is a different actual person who also worked on Saturday Night Live and who is now a US Senator.
