Tim Meadows Reacts to the Allegations Against Al Franken
Comedian Tim Meadows started entertaining America back in 1990 when he joined the cast of SNL and is now entertaining America in a new over-the-top content series.
Before dishing out any details on his new venture, Meadows gave Cheddar his reaction to Senator Al Franken's sexual harassment allegations.
"I knew him back in the day and he was always very respectful, I'm surprised if anything has happened" he said.
Now, the iconic comedian is out with a new show called "No Activity," where Meadows plays a cop involved in a very boring stake-out, and you guessed it, there is no activity.
The new comedy on CBS All Access, is the first scripted comedy for the OTT channel, and Meadows says in general that these type of platforms mean less money for the actors.
