Three dozen women who worked with Sen. Al Franken on the set of "Saturday Night Live" signed a statement pledging their support for the comedian-turned-politician, who was accused last week of sexual harassment.
The letter was signed by 36 women who worked on the show in some capacity during Franken's two tenures, from 1977-1980 and 1988-1995. Most were production and crew members, save for cast members Jane Curtin and Laraine Newman.
We feel compelled to stand up for Al Franken, whom we have all had the pleasure of working with over the years on 'Saturday Night Live,'" the statement read.
"What Al did was stupid and foolish, and we think it was appropriate for him to apologize to Ms. Tweeden, and to the public. In our experience, we know Al as a devoted and dedicated family man, a wonderful comedic performer, and an honorable public servant. That is why we are moved to quickly and directly affirm that after years of working with him, we would like to acknowledge that not one of us ever experienced any inappropriate behavior; and mention our sincere appreciation that he treated each of us with the utmost respect and regard."

‘SNL’ women defend Al Franken amid sexual harassment accusations
as jillian was saying before she was so rudely interrupted.............. ^
i read an article last night by some woman opining how those women's accounts were meaningless but i also disagree...thank you jillian.
creeps have creepy patterns of behavior...
al franken behaved badly in a certain situation where other loose behavior was going on and he got caught up in bad judgement.
many many credible rational women who have worked closely with al franken have vouched for his verifiable pattern of appropriate and professional behavior in their presence.
guys like al are simply not in the same league as trump, roy moore, weinstein, CK, etc...
