'Daily Show' Guest Host Al Franken Gives Susan Collins A Blunt Reminder Of Her Failure

Daily Show” guest host Al Franken closed out his week behind the desk with impressions of four of his former Senate colleagues.

The topic was Tuesday’s contentious House hearings on TikTok as lawmakers from both parties put CEO Shou Zi Chew on blast over the popular app’s security risks as well as its close ties to the Chinese government.

Franken, a former Democratic senator from Minnesota, envisioned Senate hearings on the app and broke out four impressions of his onetime colleagues in the chamber: Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine).

But that last one took a turn as Franken used his impression to remind Collins of her decisive vote in favor of Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation as a Supreme Court justice.
