Which part will he play, the clown, the court jester or the fool? All will fit him well.

Might be the first funny show that they've had since the fifth season of "Everybody Loves Raymond."

Al should be a riot. Maybe they should hire David Duke and remake "The Odd Couple". Or perhaps, give David Duke his own show "The New Dukes of Hazzard". But at least Al is funny even if he is pathetic. David Duke is just pathetic.

Coming soon on CBS...
The Odd Couple starring Al Gore and Bill Clinton:
"On November 13th, Al Gore was asked to remove himself from his place of residence. That request came from his wife, Tipper. Deep down, he knew she was right, but he also knew that someday he would return to her and run for president again. With nowhere else to go, he appeared at the home of friend, Bill Clinton. Sometime earlier during her presidential campaign, Clinton's wife had thrown him out, requesting that he never return. Can two former running mates share an apartment without driving each other crazy?
Kim Il-Jung and Son
A wacky Korean dictator and his junkyard of a nuclear power are featured in this laugh a minute comedy. Young Kim Jr. worries that he will never find romance because of the antics of his crazy dad, who in the first episode accidently detonates an old thermonuclear device and wipes out his neighbor, Mr. Bernstein.
Star Trek, The Right Wing Generation
George Bush reprises William Shatner's Captain Kirk role as the USS Free Enterprise sails through the galaxy wiping out civilizations and imposing disorder. He is aided by trusty emotionless Vulcan (ably played by Dick Cheney), a rage filled Klingon (Donald Rumsfeld), frustrated engineer "Scotty" Frist (I tell you Captain, it's all about to blow!) and the cynical "Skull and Bones" Rove.

Dudley, I think you're on to something. The networks might have a job for you. (Seriously.)

By the way, the sitcom project for Sharpton is called "Al in the Family."
