CN8 “Backstage” host Barry Nolan was working out at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills when he spotted the Nobel laureate two elliptical machines down from him. Before introducing himself, Nolan called his friend, actor and Gore supporter David Keith, and asked if there was anything he’d like to pass along to the former veep.

Keith said, “Tell him I have a great plan for him to mount a last-minute presidential campaign with the slogan ‘We told you so.’ ”

After finishing his own workout, Nolan approached Gore to say hello and shared Keith’s message. Gore laughed and asked Nolan to tell the actor he said hi. According to Nolan, Gore is taking his workouts quite seriously these days. He spent more than an hour on the machine.
