Before super bowl 46 Frank Caliendo is on the Mike and Mike show on ESPN radio. He does Madden, Adam Sandler, Bill Walton, Chris Rock, Al Pacino, and more.
IT was one of the things he said took his impressions to the next level. Without the mannerisms he realized an impression is empty and boring, even if it's good.
Everyone knows him for the Madden impression but he has ones that make you cry laughing like his Jim Rome. His Chris Berman and John Gruden are spot on too but this must've been before he had those ready to go.
My most favorite impressionist, frank is brilliant he not only imitate few words like other people do but he immerse on that character throughout whole interview For this video i love his impresses Al Pacino 🤣🤣
I always thought of Madden as that big old bear. I loved him but Frank made him even more of a big old bear for me. Thanks for all the good feelings you have brought to us Frank! And Madden? They broke the mold when they made him.
Frank Caliendo is the greatest Impersonator that ever lived. Rich Little, Frank Gorshin and all the rest. No one else can capture the unique personality of every character he portrays like the Italian "Mighty Mite." Little could do a great Nixon and a fabulous George Burns. Caliendo can do everybody!! From Sports Stars to Pop Stars. His Jon Gruden, Al Pacino, Charles Barkley and John Madden, are just the tip of a Giant Glacier. All of it rendered with a Comedic touch Unrivaled in the history of his craft. If you want the next President, how about George W. Trump? His impersonations of both men are beyond a Carbon Copy. Watch his unreal video on College GameDay. You'll hear his, "They say don't mess with Texas. But, today Baylors going to." More like Ex President Bush than Ex President Bush!! Frank Caliendo is too big . Even for Las Vegas. Even if he is only Five Feet, Five Inches tall.
NFL Films should bring back ‘This is Your Life’ Everyone who likes football would be glued to the TV. Imagine Bill Parcells sitting down and in walks LT, Bavaro, Simms etc one at a time. All you need is a studio, and some plane tickets. Make a whole season and then change the studio set/host for Season 2+ to keep the surprise factor alive. Your welcome. I’ll accept 4% of the royalties, Mr. Netflix.
In the history of Western Civilization??? Oh YES hhaha Im english and only know Bill Walton through Franks impression, but the way that Caliendo is also a comedian and makes it so funny, favourite impression is his Bill Walton
I love it that he doesn't just do the voices, he also does their mannerisms.
He actually becomes these people!
As fun to watch as it is to listen.
That Pachino is pure gold.
Yes, he is Brilliant
IT was one of the things he said took his impressions to the next level. Without the mannerisms he realized an impression is empty and boring, even if it's good.
Frank Caliendo is a great comedic talent. His impressions are accurate to a t.
Everyone knows him for the Madden impression but he has ones that make you cry laughing like his Jim Rome. His Chris Berman and John Gruden are spot on too but this must've been before he had those ready to go.
His Jim Rome litteraly has me crying man...
Count ... Chocula?
The best sports comedian and the golden age of ESPN.
Truly da best ever! Man I miss the old mike and mike days during football season
Golic yes. Greenberg no.
Not a lot of comedians make me laugh. Frank Caliendo brings me to tears with laughter!
"...but in your heart you're a true giant."
I'm not crying. You're crying. Damn it.
My most favorite impressionist, frank is brilliant he not only imitate few words like other people do but he immerse on that character throughout whole interview
For this video i love his impresses Al Pacino 🤣🤣
Frank's mocking of Rome was desperately needed when it came along in 2003 or whenever it was.
God his Jim Rome is spot on!
EC0205 lol i used to HATE Jim Rome when he was on ESPN..but his radio show is actually pertty good.
Mike and Mike's laughs are so contagious.
+Shinigami919 Rome has the best show in radio
PHE NOMINAL
Correction...A RU GULA!
absolutely off the charts. he is so quick at changing it up. no one can really touch him,,, the very best
I saw frank once in Milwaukee. Loved it. He just keeps getting better as the years roll on.
His Charles Barkley is scary good
it really ain't that turrble
His impression of mike and mike is spot on
Seriously might be the best ever at impersonations. Madden is my favorite. Makes me cry laughing every time. Barkley and Gruden spot on too
His George Bush is flawless
Wow, the Al Pacino part is scary! So want to hear Frank Caliendo do the famous "Baird man" speech, or better, the Tango scene!
Steve that would be Awsome to hear...
HOOWAAHH
"Is it the greatest day.... "
"In the history of Western Civilization? Oh Yessss"
Haha...man.
The Madden popcorn popper was one of the funniest skits on Mad TV
Its easy!
John Madden couldn’t figure it out, but you sure can! Enjoy!
Would love to hear his Coach Orgeron imitation.
Mike times 2 was the best I miss you guys together
I always thought of Madden as that big old bear. I loved him but Frank made him even more of a big old bear for me. Thanks for all the good feelings you have brought to us Frank! And Madden? They broke the mold when they made him.
This guy is brilliant!!
His Belilchek is lmao. "We're on to Cincinati."
His Chris Rock sounded like Terry Bradshaw trying to do Chris Rock.
this is the most I have ever heard him talk in his own voice.
I still miss Mike and Mike!!!
I can't even distinguish between what his real voice is anymore. - _ -
Get help
7:54 They completely glossed over his perfect Golic
Agreed
He's so good in interviews and stuff like this, but his act has absolutely not changed in 20 years.
check out "giggles"
If it's not broken don't fix it??
His Lou Holtz impression is insane.
Imitation is the greatest form of compliment.
His Pacino at the end is fabulous lol.
He’s amazing the BEST Morgan freeman EVER!!!!!
I like when he does the same impressions over and over and over and over and over again. It never gets old. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
I wish he would do more Sandler and Chris Rock in his interviews
I met John Madden in a 7-11 in Danville. He was right in front of me in line.
I think his Mike and Mike was pretty good.
Mainly Golic was close. The Greenburg could use more work.
Justin Pettit say that in the Madden voice.
Justin Pettit their faces when he hit Golic spot on
I'm crying. The EAR for some one, - that a lot of actors have - is really, REALLY obviously exceptional with him.
RIP Madden and Walton.
His John Gruden impression is spot on!!
6:20 Frank makes Jim Rome relevant and interesting
This guy is a cure for depression. I'm actually suspicious that he can cure cancer, too. Boy, what a sincere laugh was that.
Oh my gosh, his Stephen A. Smith is really good.
2019 still funny.
I was crying by the end of the Al Pacino impression!
he's got to b the funniest person alive today.
Jamie Morris no. No he's not
Easily rivaled by bill burr
Jamie Morris He’s super-funny alright! The funniest impressionist out there, for sure!
He's really really funny but he's definitely not the funniest
He’s Good but funniest person alive?
Say what? Have you not ever seen Mike Epps comedy or Kat Williams?
Arugula!
And the award for "WORST FAKE LAUGHING" goes to...... Mike and Mike!
LOVE his adam sandler @ 9:14

Kevin Pollak is great at it too.
Al Pacino............Dead On!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sure all he does is impressions,but you cant find anyone better
Dana Carvey?
Kristopher Levine
Jay Pharoah is pretty good too!!
Jonathan Kite is better
The madden hits so different now that he’s gone
omg that JIM ROME.. LOL... CANT BREATHE
8:20-8:29 best part of Madden
this guy drunk would be as awesome as christmas in july xD
I thinks he’s just funny. Even when he isn’t doing an impression. He’s good tho. Can think on his feet
“How great is it to be here”
His John Gruden took it to a new echelon
Pretty darn good!
Those were the good old days!
"... Arugula!" lmao
I think he's gotten a lot better since he started.
That New York accent you try to pull off was 3/4 the way to Boston didn't sound like anyone I know but you're a funny guy cool
"Let's talk about this Superbowl thing......lemme tell ya what....GRANIKORSKI" LMAO
Guy is awesome!
This guy is master class.
adam sandler and bill Walton are his best voices
His Jim Rome is awesome
Really wanna see him do an impression of Shannon Sharpe .That would be classic
Miss Mike and Mike
"Meet your college tuition." lol
Any one else think his mike and mike impression was spot on?
Please bring back Mike and Mike ESPN
dan the man I'll see what I can do.
"You're gonna get Tatooined out of here" XD hahahahaha!
His Walton sounds better than ever, in my opinion.
If you can't see him, but you just hear his voice, you think it is the other person.
He's not imitating, he becomes
“Self-deprecating whatever that means”
Madden hit the dislike button 97 times...this guy is a beast!! If you don't laugh at this guy then you are an 👽.
brilliant, so good
Phenomenal.
I wish he had done Gruden...his gruden is spot on

OH MY GOSH HIS AL PACINO IS HILARIOUS AND SPOT ON LOL!
Needs more guy in background laughing.
I would love to see him try Boomer and Carton...that would be amazing!
Did he hit Paccino at the end?
8:05 to 8:40 is pure gold.
He and Rich Little are the greatest of all time!
In the history of Western Civilization??? Oh YES hhaha Im english and only know Bill Walton through Franks impression, but the way that Caliendo is also a comedian and makes it so funny, favourite impression is his Bill Walton
frank caliendo is hilarious.
So this is great. Caliendo is always funny but MAN, I miss Mike &Mike or Golic and Wingo in the morning.
He should do quotes of Al Pacino in Any Given Sunday. Some good ones in there
haha it's funny because I see mike greenberg almost everyday in person, and he knows me by name. I've also played a few rounds of golf with him
Their faces when he nailed Golic!
No pun intended
I cant breathe
I wish he did Chris Collinsworth..."Now here's a guy".
Eagles/ Foles hater .. Brady loving Chris C.
I wish he would've done a John Madden Light beer commercail.
