Love Frank. And it's definitely not black face. He's doing impressions as flattering and entertainment. To try to accuse Frank is assinine. The dude is pure gold and he's incredibly talented. Love Frank. His John Madden, George Bush, Charles Barkley and Jon Gruden are my absolute favorites!
I tell you man I listened to this guy like 10 years ago and he still amazes me this is the first time in ten years I've heard him he is unbelievable at impersonations like I don't even think people understand how difficult it is to nail all these impersonations he absolutely sounds like Morgan Freeman it blows my mind it's like there's a speaker behind him it's ridiculous
ESPN'S black guy tried to play the black face card on Caliendo "Cross race impressions" an impression is an impression" white black southern/northern, his morgan freeman's impersonation is a masterpiece, give the guy some credit instead of victim blaming.
They've been friends forever. Frank was on Dan's show years before he was on Mike and Mike. It's awkward by design. Neither one of you choads get the show.
Chicago Cubs 2016 WS Champs it wasn't that bad. it was good still. highly questionable is the best sports show on tv. you can think otherwise which is fine. Ur opinion. it always is a hit. just cause it isn't a home run or triple or 2 score rbi double?! sheesh lol cubs got lucky fyi.
I don't appreciate Dan being rude to his guest, for example when Frank was in the middle of answering a question he starts talking to Bomani. Come on be more professional
It's not actually being rude...it's an act and part of his schtick. It's to see how a guest react (because most will give "coachspeak" or "playerspeak" and give the viewers and interviewers essentially empty answers. Those who know LeBatard gets it and will roll with it, those who don't understand it, will feel a bit unnerved by it. Most of what he does is sarcasm and inside jokes, for which many listeners and viewers will not catch all of the time.
Dan would rather rather be a Miami scumbag than be a dirty, disgusting, Ohio loser like you. Why don't you take this L and share it with the rest of Cleveland.
+Sluntrox The Miami Hurricanes has won 5 national championships in the last 30 years. Until the Buckeyes can do better than us, I can talk shit about the city of Cleveland or the whole state of Ohio however the hell i want.
I love Barkley's response. - So Charles, what do you think of Frank imitating you in makeup to make him look black? - Well I am black, so it makes sense. /end of discussion
So I think Dan is dropping his comedy-which he's great at and going with some weird side show where he attacks his guests and tries to make them uncomfortable. I liked his show when it first came out he needs a xanax or three. Props to Caliendo for being quick on his feet(which he doesn't get enough credit for) and making it funny regardless of what he was given.
It's the world of insane virtue signaling liberalism...anything that can be used to divide, cut tensions, and relate will be called "racism" which doesn't mean much anymore.
I don't care what anybody say it is not racial when you do different voices that different characters of color in fact I think it's damn good that just goes to show you that race isn't as different as you think it is everybody's got a little soul look at the people that can sing r&b that happen to be Caucasian and people that are negro sound Caucasian and some of their singingthe problem in our society is that some people get offended too quick they're like children
@@southsideman4891 I dont how you guys do that. It would kill me. Your body needs carbs to refuel itself. Especially before a workout. If I didnt I weigh like 150 pounds looking like a skeleton
@@brandonneumann5294 keto is the way, my brother. Check these things out. Insulin causes the body to store fat, but your body is meant to be in ketosis. Where it needs sugar, it will break down other nutrients to get it. But it is the sugarization of our society that causes obesity to explode. I know this personally: I lost 50lbs in 5 months, just cutting carbs and basketball. I was 270. It was embarrassing. So without going on, research the keto diet: it is the way of life
Right like how often does any black comedian get backlash for doing their generic white guy voice. And I don't think I even know very many people who do white celebrity impersonations
For some bizarre reason, it seems like Caliendo's impressions are stronger WITHOUT the hair and makeup "disguises." I think maybe it's because he captures an essence of the person in a way that makes your imagination "see" them more "accurately" than any makeup, no matter how perfect.
Frank used to only do like three voices back in the early days and it got old real fast. Sounds like he expanded his repertoire. Looks like he lost weight as well.
Christopher T so if a basketball game is going really well and it's a hyped up pregame. then in the 3rd quarter, their is a horrible call and a fight breaks out. but it's resolved somewhat and moved on and finishes the game well with a solid 4th quarter. how is that not a great game still? what was your focus of the game? perspective yah? a few rotten apples don't ruin a whole bushel, unless you dwell on them and leave them be or keep bringing up the fact the bushel had some rotten ones.... ?? catch me drift... solid enjoyable interview but clearly you need to let it flow naturally and Dan likes to control it too much at times.

That Morgan freeman impression was the greatest thing ever!!

I've been saying this for a decade now...Caliendo's a comedic genius!
Wish they never replaced him with Riggle
Oh neat.
I tell you man I listened to this guy like 10 years ago and he still amazes me this is the first time in ten years I've heard him he is unbelievable at impersonations like I don't even think people understand how difficult it is to nail all these impersonations he absolutely sounds like Morgan Freeman it blows my mind it's like there's a speaker behind him it's ridiculous
Lets hear Papi in a romantic situation. "uh uh...I'm done!"...lmaooo
LMAO
that shit killed me cuz lolol
I figured out why I like Frank Caliendo so much: Sheer joy in performance.
ESPN'S black guy tried to play the black face card on Caliendo "Cross race impressions" an impression is an impression" white black southern/northern, his morgan freeman's impersonation is a masterpiece, give the guy some credit instead of victim blaming.
Let’s hear Papi in a romantic situation: “I’m done!” 😂😂😂
Frank is charismatic enough to bring this interview home without the two chilly hosts working to kill the vibe
Please... do you even know who Dan Lebatard really is? Do you... lol.
Jeez, loosen up Bomani & Dan. Both seemed like they couldn’t wait for the segment to be finished.
That was the best interview of Caliendo I've seen. Funny!
This guy should be way more famous.
I spit up all over my screen laughing when he did Papi's romantic situation impersonation.
The host definitely made the guest awkward as hell
They've been friends forever. Frank was on Dan's show years before he was on Mike and Mike. It's awkward by design. Neither one of you choads get the show.
They alwys do look up tyson interview this show is 👎🏼
“The host”
Frank's Jon Gruden impression is so spot on, its scary!
The host did a great impression of Marty Funkhouser from Curb at 6:06
" Ray Lewis... He went to Hogwarts man" *DWL
that had me dying lmao
e got expelled though for using black magic
Highly questionable is hit or miss, and this one missed. I don't know how anyone could mess up Frank Caliendo, but they did.
Chicago Cubs 2016 WS Champs it wasn't that bad. it was good still. highly questionable is the best sports show on tv. you can think otherwise which is fine. Ur opinion. it always is a hit. just cause it isn't a home run or triple or 2 score rbi double?! sheesh lol cubs got lucky fyi.
Romantic stiuation. "Uh ohh Im done!"😂😂😂😭😭😭 I'm dying over here😂😂😂😭😭😭
Frank is a national treasure!
I'll never understand how anyone person can manipulate himself to sound so much like so many people. Totally hilarious.
Man I love Frank what that guy does is a gift his John Madden voice have me flatlining
If Bomani didn’t have the race card to play he wouldn’t be able to speak
I don't appreciate Dan being rude to his guest, for example when Frank was in the middle of answering a question he starts talking to Bomani. Come on be more professional

You don't get the show!

Yeah what was that?!
You can do impressions of anyone regardless of race.
Good impersonation of morgan freeman
XxBringBackThePastxX near perfect
His Morgan Freeman is great 👍
"I'm done!!!" LMAO
That Morgan freedman is great I had to pause and comment lol I'm hollering 😂😂😂😂😂
Nothing like a racial question to kill the fun
It's constant!
I love Barkley's response.
- So Charles, what do you think of Frank imitating you in makeup to make him look black?
- Well I am black, so it makes sense.
/end of discussion
thats espn for you
Exactly-
this generation is waay to sensetive
I LOVE THIS GUY!!!
Frank....you are incredibly talented brother.
"look out Harry Potter!. Their's another chosen one!" ray lewis joke being a warlock. haha wow so good.
Look out Harry Potter? LOLL greatest line 30 seconds of comedy I've ever heard
lol he really did grudens on point
so funny and clever joke
Bomani laughing at the end made me laugh harder.
He seemed like a jerk in the interview. Comedians put it out there for people to laugh and him acting stone face was rude
@@southsideman4891 if Frank was black he'd be crying laughing even if it wasn't funny at all
@@nicholastaiariol2631 yo i dont need you injecting your freaking racism in here, punk!
@@nicholastaiariol2631 Exactly!
That was a great Papi! Loved it.
This is before Frank really refined these impressions.
So I think Dan is dropping his comedy-which he's great at and going with some weird side show where he attacks his guests and tries to make them uncomfortable. I liked his show when it first came out he needs a xanax or three. Props to Caliendo for being quick on his feet(which he doesn't get enough credit for) and making it funny regardless of what he was given.
absolutely amazing. he nearly sounds like Morgan Freeman!
Damn he did papi wrong at the end haha.
Caliendo is great regardless of the horrible interviewers
Caliendo is hilarious! xD
Man if you don't look at him, you would think it's the actual person talking
When you close your eyes and listen to him do impressions it’s even better
“I’m done!” I love it!
How is race brought up when interviewing an impressionist??
By a black guy.
@@lawdymama8478 Is that Bomani Jones? He's always been a race baiter.. Can't stand him.
It's called the rise of modern-day douchebaggery.
Amazing he’s simply the best
1:14 Apparently Dan LeBastard has never seen Lean on Me.
Gotta copy chickenwityamz - "Lets hear Papi in a romantic situation. "uh uh...I'm done!" I actually did LOL!
Frank. Comedy Gold.
He is the best impersonator l have ever heard.
Ray Lewis he went to Hogwarts man. Look out Harry Potter there’s another chosen one 😂😂😂😂
Really? He can't do impressions of other races? What friggin' world do we live in?
It's the world of insane virtue signaling liberalism...anything that can be used to divide, cut
tensions, and relate will be called "racism" which doesn't mean much anymore.
Welcome to clown world.
David U You seem triggered
ESPN’s hypersensitive PC world.
It's the world he's livin' in that's the problem..
Great Chucky impersonation!
Amazing , I enjoyed .
Caliendo makes Dan so uncomfortable hahahha every time
Wow hes spot on!
His impressions seem to sound a bit more authentic through his stage microphone as opposed to talk show environments like this. He is still great!
I wanna see Frank go head on with Ray Lewis like he did with Gruden
Just when I thought HQ couldn’t get any more unbearable to watch they go and ruin a Caliendo interview.
I don't care what anybody say it is not racial when you do different voices that different characters of color in fact I think it's damn good that just goes to show you that race isn't as different as you think it is everybody's got a little soul look at the people that can sing r&b that happen to be Caucasian and people that are negro sound Caucasian and some of their singingthe problem in our society is that some people get offended too quick they're like children
He's lost a lot of weight..
Yes, he has. Good job, Frank!
He did respect to him. I hope he cut the carbs instead of just exercising because he would gain it all back
@@southsideman4891 I dont how you guys do that. It would kill me. Your body needs carbs to refuel itself. Especially before a workout. If I didnt I weigh like 150 pounds looking like a skeleton

Johnny Crespo
Yes he looks totally different. He could do Alex jones too just because he looks like him now
Cross race impersonation?? Come on snow flakes! Lets live together and embrace our differences!
noviemt
Id like to make the first move by removing an article of my clothing.
Right like how often does any black comedian get backlash for doing their generic white guy voice. And I don't think I even know very many people who do white celebrity impersonations
By snow flakes you mean white folk?
noviemt it one race human race just different ethnicity in the people
That's just dumb.

Frank is the man
Awesome talent
Loved this interview!!!
Le Batard: "Tell me the most embarrasing moment in your life."
Athlete: "Um we're on the air"
Le Batard : "Dont worry. Itll be funny."
Frank's regular voices are spot on, but his Papi was pretty bad. Sounded more like a Middle Eastern accent.
Nah that was great
Papi would sound like a middle eastern person, sort of.
yeah was pretty turrible.
You need to clean your ears. Hopefully you have since this post is 5 years old.
TheTruthiest I was going to say french guy who moved to India.
It's great to see that Rich Little has a worthy successor.
Omg this was hilarious despite the awkwardness
So good.
As soon as he started the first impression 😂😭
Frank used to only do like three voices back in the early days and it got old real fast. Sounds like he expanded his repertoire. Looks like he lost weight as well.
That is amazing
I enjoyed this:)
The race card AGAIN? 😕
Its espn......
Of course
These dudes look real uncomfortable with frank, like theyre forcing themselves to laugh
Worst interview I have ever seen. Turned a Home Run guest into an awkward almost unwatchable segment.
Christopher T so if a basketball game is going really well and it's a hyped up pregame. then in the 3rd quarter, their is a horrible call and a fight breaks out. but it's resolved somewhat and moved on and finishes the game well with a solid 4th quarter. how is that not a great game still? what was your focus of the game? perspective yah? a few rotten apples don't ruin a whole bushel, unless you dwell on them and leave them be or keep bringing up the fact the bushel had some rotten ones.... ?? catch me drift... solid enjoyable interview but clearly you need to let it flow naturally and Dan likes to control it too much at times.
chill out Dan before less people want to go to your show, and Bomani back these guests up man!
THANK YOU!
Agreed backbone please
Am done... What a comeback
I heard that these hosts got put on performance plan right before they went on air.
my god.. what a morgan freeman voice
Miss frank being around
Caliendo is easily a cross between Paul Rudd and Mat Damon when he’s just being himself
Blackface is 100% different than dressing up to seriously look like a black character you are playing
FRANK IS HEALTHY NOW!!
I'm not American so I don't know if the two guys who are not Caliendo are famous or what not but they are two freaky looking dudes. I like them.
Also is one of these guys called Dan Libtard? What a name.
@@Etcher it's pronounced LeBatard. I love your interpretation though. Hilarious!!
That closing had me laughing
"Im Done"....... lmao
IM DONE LMFAO
Papi. Love It.
Dan says bomani is so smart so often- makes me think he says it so often bc he really thinks he’s a dope
Keep doing it I love it Barkley
@6:37
Oops
I FCKEN DIED
╰_╯
Frank sounds like an Italian Papi lol
People are racially sensitive. Sad...if people would get over it already thatd be good.
Probably the only time LeBard had a decently entertaining show
Wow the Morgan freeman
Geez his Papi is Watto from Star Wars
