With equal parts intelligence and hilarity, political humorist Al Franken's short-lived sitcom LATELINE satirized the world of broadcast journalism through the outrageous antics and characters of a fictional late-night television news show. Starring a topnotch ensemble cast that included Franken, Miguel Ferrer, Robert Foxworth, Megyn Price, Ajay Naidu, Sanaa Lathan, and Catherine Lloyd Burns, the series' brand of irreverent humor was made even more topical by the guest appearances of real-life political figures Ralph Nader, G. Gordon Liddy, Pat Buchanan, Michael Dukakis, and William F. Buckley, among others. This collection includes all 19 episodes of the sadly defunct series, including four that were never aired.
