Al Franken's torn over who he'd like to see turn the parody tables on him.
As a former "Saturday Night Live" cast member headed to the U.S. Senate, he could be a prime spoof target for his former show.
When asked Wednesday who'd be best for the role, Franken first told The Associated Press it may be Fred Armisen, who portrays President Barack Obama in SNL skits. He then said occasional guest Alec Baldwin might be a better fit.
NBC Entertainment declined comment.
Franken himself parodied a U.S. senator at least once on SNL, playing a Democrat at confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas.
Franken expects be on the Senate Judiciary Committee, for real, by the time hearings begin for Obama high court nominee Sonia Sotomayor.
