Frank Caliendo

Post by cpebbles »

DISH, get this jackass off my television before you convince me to cancel my god damned service. For about 90% of his impressions, the only discernible talent is his ability to find an appropriate outfit in plus sizes, and even for the few that he does well, he's still doing an unfunny, if accurate, impression. He was more annoying than Mellencamp two years ago, and two years of overexposure haven't improved things.

I don't think he's DISH's problem as I have Comcast and the idiot is on there too.

His standup is actually pretty good. And he makes a good interview on late night talk shows. But giving him his own show was a terrible idea and the constant bombardment of ads for the show lowered my interest in watching it from miniscule to zero.

But I can never truly hate him because his Jim Rome impression gives me too much joy.

He is a regular guest on a radio station in PHX, and is actully quite funny on the radio. The station was interviewing John Madden and asked him about Caliendo and his impersonation, Madden hung up on them......or was it Caliendo the whole time....

He's absolutely hilarious in correct settings. If you'd never seen one of those HELLISHLY ANNOYING ADS for his terrible, terrible TV show, you would watch his standup and most likely laugh. I think he'd be awesome if he were just a well known comic, and maybe hosted SNL once, or something. Sadly, all his TBS ads make me want to break my big beautiful television, so I've pretty much divorced myself of ever watching his specials again.

I think he does a good job with the awkward Bush sniff-smirks.
