Funny or Die: Franken and Letterman take on climate change in hilarious web series

[turbinetree]

Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) has finally brought his trademark sense of humor to climate change.

The former Saturday Night Live comedian, now a U.S. senator, teamed up with comedian David Letterman on the first season of a new web series, “Boiling the Frog with Senator Al Franken.”

The series was created by the website Funny Or Die and “the geniuses behind Years of Living Dangerously,” as Franken describes the producers of the Emmy award-winning climate change series in the hilarious first video.

4. Yep.

I've always found Letterman's feigned befuddlement amusing.

Colbert is more aggressive, but neither of them tolerate bullshit, and they react to it in similar ways.

It's their version of Obama's "Please proceed governor" moment in the debate with Romney, and even funnier when the person they've dissed isn't quite sure where they went so horribly wrong.
