Tom Davis

I never got to know Tom Davis, the Minneapolis writer who died Thursday from cancer, but I was long aware of his contributions to comedy, most notably by partnering with future senator, Al Franken.

While digging around on bio information, I came across a "Saturday Night Live" sketch that poked fun of Davis's obscurity and drug use. It's not hilarious, but it does feel fitting today to check it out. Let me know what you think. http://www.hulu.com/watch/285259
