I was fortunate to have seen him in person when his National Tour Tour came to my area - Albany, NY - when he spoke to a sold out audience for over two hours with only a microphone, a stool and three glasses of water. He talked a little about his SNL days, but mostly about his time in the Senate. He told jokes (Ted Cruz), did impressions (McConnell) and drew one of his freehand maps of the states which he offered to sign and donate to a local Democratic charity. He said that when his committee was waiting, Dianne Feinstein would ask him to tell a joke and not everyone "got it," LOL. The sold out crowd loved him, tried to talk him into running again, and gave him a standing ovation. He was terrific!
