I've been watching since the original cast in the 70's. I don't know much about what he did as a writer on the show, but I didn't care for him as a performer. Strangely, I did get a kick out of his Stewart Smalley character. As silly as it was, there was something genuine he brought to it, and that made it work for me. I'm not from Minnesota, but he impressed me by what it seemed he tried to do as a senator. I think if more of our politicians showed his intelligence and level of care for their constituents, we'd all be better off. Finally, I think he got screwed over when he was pressured to resign over his hover-hands picture. If we cancel everyone who has done something in poor taste, we'd all be on the outs, and no one would go into comedy, or last long if they did.
