Saw Frank at Zanies in Nashville maybe 20 years ago just before he blew-up. He has that special manic streak ability to riff endlessly on the fly that Robin Willisms had. He clearly puts a lot of time and effort into impressions and delves deeply into the nuances of each voice. Major props.
Non-stop rapid fire delivery. Amazing how he can transition into various persona's without missing a beat. It has to be the vocal chords. If Rich Little is the King of Impression then Frank Caliendo is the "Crown Prince".
9:30 I like how he sounded like John Madden when he choked on the Sausage lol. I like how he went from John Madden Choking to Robert Downey Jr saying "is this Good?".
You can't try to focus just open up your brain to be like fishing nets and don't narrow, expand. It helps if you close your eyes for a bit and let it wash over you. Frank is the best. I wonder if he and Robin were ever on the same show. Then to add an extra drop of crazy, throw Jim Carey into that pot.
I grew up where Aurelio's Pizza was started as it was in Homewood Illinois! Love seeing Frank here and loved seeing my first Pizza place get some praise!
Hey listen, the guy impersonates MEL KIPER JUNIOR, NEEDS A LOT OF COFFEE TO SUSTAIN, ICED, NOT HOT, coffee, really good beverage for sustaining a the most famous nfl draft analyst ever.
What makes people like Frank great isn't their talent for impressions - a lot of people can do that. It's how fast his synapses fire and how he sees the world around him along with his ability to communicate it to the audience. That's not as common.
I have no idea why the Raiders paid John Gruden a $100 million to coach the Raiders when the could have got Caliendo for $10 million, and he would have been a better Gruden than Gruden.
Maybe just me, but I thought the way she was laughing at him and touching his arm she was going to ask if he ever divorced his wife if he'd date a TV anchor and he shut it down in the best way possible lol I felt like she was I to him
Frank is right about the retired professional athletes. Many of them were in a sense put on a pedestal... and they began to believe the hype. So bruising their inflated ego isn't impossible when a great entertainer or comedian pulls off a good one now and then.
Good grief the studio audience is pathetic! Caliendo delivered more elite comedy in a few minutes than most other comics can produce in a full hour special. Yet, this comatose crowd either couldn't keep up or just didn't "get it." The guy is a master, and he put on an absolute comedy clinic. This crowd did't deserve such a performance.
I think sometimes that he goes so fast that the crowd doesn't want to miss anything by laughing too much. It's kinda like listening to Robin Williams..🙂
@@marxter6 it just dawned on me...you were talking about John Madden...I thought you meant Jue Maddon....the Tampa and Cubs manager....and I was like....Joe Maddon doesnt even say much...how could someone do an impression of him?
This guys can literally carry on a conversation with himself.
Facts
If Jim Carrey and Robin Williams had a kid!
I was lucky enough to meet him back in 2006. First celebrity I ever met. He's not only talented but a super nice guy as well.
frank has that rare combination of being a great impressionist and a great comedian.

That was a frenetic performance. Love Caliendo... a real talent. He does a great William Shatner.
This guy is gifted. love him!
His impressions are perfect
Kareem Beaman
Especially, Morgan freeman

His wife must INSIST he stays on the road. It would be too insane to have him around the house for an extended stretch...
No Way,
I wouldn't let Frank out.
He is MINE ! ALL MINE.
HAPPINESS, LAUGHTER.
SLEEP WELL EVERY NIGHT.
Somehow I doubt he acts like that at home.
Frank is amazing love his gruden
If ADHD was a person
So Jim Carrey?
@@Modernww2fare Carrey is now old and tepid.
But he is awesome tho
Marvin Thiessen And?
It would be robin williams
That Chris Evans is so subtle, it's brilliant.
My brain can’t process how he can LOOK like the people he’s impersonating. Blows my mind.
He hasn’t changed a bit.
Jeremy Roenick was a legend when he was in Philadelphia. Not only was he a great teammate, he did tons of charity work and private work with kids.
His energy is insane. Never seen him like that
You think it mught be coke?
9:30 I like how he sounded like John Madden when he choked on the Sausage lol. I like how he went from John Madden Choking to Robert Downey Jr saying "is this Good?".
Great comedian!
Caliendo reminds one of Robin Williams. As talented as he is it can be a bit much when he is so frenetic.
And ironically enough, he does a good Robin Williams impression
Yea

Bro was thinking the same thing.
Now that you mention it, I can see it
He did the past three presidents in a row Conversing with each other without missing a beat. He got to do a sketch on that in full makeup.
In full makeup? That would include black face. Just hope you realize that.
The Real RZRshrpe Nice troll.
Icutmetal I really wasn’t trolling. Just being serious. Frank would be canceled faster than the Friends spin-off “Joey”
THIS GUY IS THE BEST !
I grew up where Aurelio's Pizza was started as it was in Homewood Illinois! Love seeing Frank here and loved seeing my first Pizza place get some praise!
Normally Frank isn't this confident. It's a nice change of pace.
If Jim Carrey and Robin Williams had a kid!
He did a pretty good RDJ😂
9:42 was that a Chris Farley impression? Those Body Movements looked Chris Farley like.
Yes, he doesn't immitate Farley enough because he does a great job with that one.
@@chrisb8655 Yeah He does. That's Clearly a Chris Farley impression.
Whatever you do don’t give this guy coffee.
Or crack.
Hahahhaha
I don’t think he would need it!
He drinks a gallon before every show 😂
Hey listen, the guy impersonates MEL KIPER JUNIOR, NEEDS A LOT OF COFFEE TO SUSTAIN, ICED, NOT HOT, coffee, really good beverage for sustaining a the most famous nfl draft analyst ever.
You a a brilliant impersonator- love your George w bush the best
He had his show , I just don’t understand why people didn’t like it he’s one of the bestttt
"I'll be done when I'm done."
lol
His Charles Barclay is hilarious
It’s definitely not turble. Barkley has such a great sense of humor I bet he loves it
Just saw his podcast with Dennis Miller earlier today! Great podcast!!! Love Frank, didn’t know he was a Chicago boy, hey ME TOO!!!!!
He needs to be in more movies most underrated comedian.
Frank inspiring Thanos is hilarious.
When you have a guest on your show and don’t have to say anything because he literally doesn’t stop talking
What the hell was in the pizza? Frank went insane for 10 minutes.
The sausage apparently lol
His entire routine is essentially at it's Core Robin Williams and builts from there.
did he and roenick bump some lines backstage or what?
codedecode that would be cool AF to do lines with a retired athlete that u folowed while active
JR has a great sense of humor!
Holy cocaine Batman! Lol
Frank and me used to hang out at a local pub and hustle pool and drink cold beer, a real stand up guy
His facial expressions are as good as his voices and that’s saying something...
Boy can this guy work a crowd. Holy crap :D
Frank is great !
What makes people like Frank great isn't their talent for impressions - a lot of people can do that. It's how fast his synapses fire and how he sees the world around him along with his ability to communicate it to the audience. That's not as common.
90 seconds in and he hasnt done a single damn impression yet but still stole the show XD
Wow...dude is amazing
Awesome
Goat!! Love Frank!
I would love to see him do an Avengers skit he's already got Loki and RDJ down pat.
Can you imagine him doing Chris Hemsworth as Thor.
Frank does so many amazing impressions, but I laughed the hardest at "I'll be done when I'm done!"
His Morgan Freeman is spot on,,
I have no idea why the Raiders paid John Gruden a $100 million to coach the Raiders when the could have got Caliendo for $10 million, and he would have been a better Gruden than Gruden.
Especially now. I wanna see Frank do a Gruden public apology
Oh this aged well
Who needs Gruden when ya have Madden?
I love this
He is a legend.
Maybe just me, but I thought the way she was laughing at him and touching his arm she was going to ask if he ever divorced his wife if he'd date a TV anchor and he shut it down in the best way possible lol I felt like she was I to him
Frank is one of a kind!
Aaw ive tried for years to nail a Morgan Freeman impression...and this guy just jumps in and out of it.😂❤
Frank is right about the retired professional athletes. Many of them were in a sense put on a pedestal... and they began to believe the hype. So bruising their inflated ego isn't impossible when a great entertainer or comedian pulls off a good one now and then.
This guy is a super genius!
He is so good at impressions

Do you know who goes to talk shows in the middle of the day? These are not the sharpest people...
Daytime tv. Same thing happened to david letterman. He bombed until he went to late night. Different crowd. Look it up...
I think sometimes that he goes so fast that the crowd doesn't want to miss anything by laughing too much. It's kinda like listening to Robin Williams..🙂
I agree. His impressions are very good, but he's not all that funny.
Hello,
Frank,
Thank you !
Please, Planet Earth Needs You.
Dang, he really killed this. Glad the hosts let him do his thing
Can you imagine at all times people wanting you to do impressions?! He's probably only himself when with family
A modern-day Rich Little!
This guy is pure talent
I'll be done when I'm done.
Caliendo eats the pizza the whole time: "warlords!!"
I want some of that pizza!
Sweet story about his daughter at Comic-Con
This isn't the first show he's milked about the "broken elbow-daughter" comic-con story and it's become redundant.
Frank I love you. Could you attend my daughters 10th birthday party? thanks. Pay you with pizza?
I have to put on my DEPENDS when he does George Bush. I cannot hold it in.
Robert Downey Jr. impression is good.
Pure class should me more famous
eating in a interview.. Priceless...
7:01 The de Niro tongue.
Frank Caliendo! An amazing Skitzofrenik!
I would hate AND love to be stuck in the same room as Frank Caliendo and Kevin Smith.
Kevin Smith never says anything...
Anyone else picking up Matt Damon from 8:12 to 8:23?
Honey, I shrunk the talk show hosts. Wow that table's huge.
I love when he does John Madden.
That pizza was looking like a piece of fried chicken 😂😂😂
That pizza looked delicious 🍕
3 Favorite...Gruden/Freeman/Walton
You got to be kidding me you don't like his John Madden
@@elr2141979 I like his Madden too, just like the others more. His Barkley is great too
Theyre all good but Walton ...Barkley and Maddon standout for me hmmm Goldblum too!
@@marxter6 Maddon and Goldblum I havent seen. The Walton makes me laugh the hardest
@@marxter6 it just dawned on me...you were talking about John Madden...I thought you meant Jue Maddon....the Tampa and Cubs manager....and I was like....Joe Maddon doesnt even say much...how could someone do an impression of him?
A perfect Bush, Obama and Trump, all in one sentence. Then he kept dropping into Morgan Freeman...omg! Fantastic!
Man oh man, what must his brain chemistry be like ?
shit storyteller, the best impersonater tho- lol keep it up frank
He's the best!!!! But you gotta go to Lou Malnati's!!!!!!🍕🍕🍕
3/4 he looks exactly like Russell Crowe. He needs a Russell Crowe.
He reminds me of Robin Williams but on less drugs.
June 29th is my birthday too.
I would definitely need adderall in order to speak that fast and that consistent. Omg.
John Gruden !!!
bruh at certain angles he's like a fat Matt Damon. always funny
I wished he would have done Bill Walton, it is great.
I'd like to see him do Jim Gaffigan.
Mad tv was better than snl. Change my mind
Mike Murray Oh no doubt, MadTV was waaaayy better.
Preach!
He grew up in Wisc 😏😏 just so yall know...so whats in the cheese? Lolol
"Real" Frank to me seems exactly like Matt Damon, it is uncanny.
Very gifted, undoubtedly talented but this segment was a runaway train
Easiest interview in the biz, lol.
He's the only guy I know who can do a great non-star-trek Shatner
