Frank Caliendo’s Sports Impressions Are All Belly-Laughing Funny

Frank Caliendo has a gift, and it cannot be duplicated. Other comedians have tried and some have succeeded, especially during their stand-up shows, on podcasts, or at comedy clubs, but nobody does impressions like Caliendo. From politicians to sports figures, the list is as long as it is amazing.Show more

For the past 20 years, Caliendo’s high energy act solidified himself as the greatest living impressionist. He had successful runs on MADtv, Fox NFL Sunday, Comedy Central Presents, and Frank TV on TBS. He’s been featured on the nation’s premiere radio and television talk shows, too, including The View, Conan O'Brien, and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.

His entire life has been about comedy, including releasing six solo CDs, and there’s no sign of him slowing down anytime soon.

Impressionist Frank Caliendo knows how to push buttons, especially when it comes to sports stars. He first hit it big with his impersonation of John Madden on The Late Show with David Letterman and his career hasn’t been the same since.

Caliendo, who is from Chicago, Illinois, has done impressions of broadcasters John Madden, Jon Gruden, Charles Barkley, Mel Kiper, Adam Schefter, and Stephen A. Smith. All were performed to perfection. There’s a new one to add to the list: Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.

The television sketch comedy veteran delivered a hilarious public service announcement as Jones.

“I’ve been thinking about it a lot in the shower. I have been. I have been. With all that’s been going on in the world, some things need to change. They do. They do. For example, the five-second rule. Six months ago, if I had dropped a slice of pizza on the floor, I would have picked it up, if it were under five seconds, dusted it off and eaten it. Or given it to somebody else to eat. But as of right now, I would not eat that pizza, and neither should you.”

What other voices has Frank Caliendo done? Let’s take a look at some of his best work from live shows, pregame shows, interviews with talk show hosts, and other comedy specials.

His other top impressions and impersonations include Morgan Freeman on ESPN, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, Dr. Phil, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Robin Williams and Jay Leno from The Tonight Show.

The hype is real. Frank Caliendo is incredible.
