NEW YORK - Satirist-commentator Al Franken will return to his TV roots next month when his radio show begins appearing on cable’s Sundance Channel.

Beginning Sept. 7, “The Al Franken Show,” heard live each weekday from noon to 3 p.m. Eastern on Air America Radio, will go on display in a one-hour edition on Sundance each night at 11:30 p.m. and 2:30 a.m., executives at both networks told The Associated Press on Monday.

The “Franken” TV hour is currently scheduled through the November election, but all parties voiced hope the show would continue on Sundance indefinitely.

“It would be nice if it were a permanent home,” Franken said.

5. Paul Krugman becoming a regular!

Al just announced it (or least I just heard it). Cool! I can't get enough Krugman!

7. When will he be appearing?

I'm a big Krugman fan.

8. I think he's usually on the radio on Thursdays...

...(although I'm not 100% certain; Brock is on Wednesdays and Conason is Fridays, right?). I have no idea what the "lag time" will be on the TV show.
