Tom Davis, Al Franken's 'SNL' partner, dies in NY - WSJ.com

Franken says he spoke with Davis's mother Thursday, and she recalled fondly all the laughter that would come from the basement when the two first got started in comedy.

He says, "I visited Tom two weeks ago, and though he was deathly ill, we did a lot of laughing. He was a great friend, a good man, and so funny."
