Franken wasn't beloved when he was with SNL. Jay Mohr's book makes him come off as a huge blowhard.
I'll have to look. He's got a great book out called "Gasping For Air-time" regarding his time with SNL. Great stuff.

Jay Mohr's book Gasping for Airtime gives great insight. http://www.amazon.com/Gasping-Airtime-Years-Trenches-Saturday/dp/1401308015
I will agree he may be bitter (it's hard to tell when it's a bit and when it isn't on O+A). However, he does fantastic impressions, he's not devoid of talent. He's always funny on O+A and very quick.
The SNL thing is a rough call, because dozens of great comedic talents went through there basically unnoticed - sometimes it's just their style (Mohr wrote a book about it).
I think he has the talent and skill similar to Ricky or Louis, he just went a different route in life (and may be bitter about his own choices as well, who can tell with a comedian). I definitely wouldn't mind his resume, there are much worse lives in comedy that have been or are being lived.
