Sarah Silverman Stabbed Al Franken
Sarah Silverman was a cast member of Saturday Night Live from 1993 to 1994. She has since told the story of how she stabbed Senator Al Franken in the hair and apologized profusely.
She remarked, “I was just kind of like a million miles away looking at his hair. The whole table has really sharpened pencils, like super sharp… and in my mind, I just thought, I’m gonna like stab this through his hair. But what everyone saw, because this is what happened, was that I just stabbed him really hard.”
