While Frank Caliendo rose through the ranks of standup with a witty act combining physical comedy with astute political observation, it was his knack for spot-on impressions that made him a star. Caliendo’s remarkable ability to ape personalities ranging from Robert DeNiro to President George W. Bush earned him a long-term gig on sketch program MADTV, an almost regular slot on the late-night talk shows, and his own heavily hyped late-‘00s primetime series, FRANK TV. He also became a staple of NFL broadcasts through his on-the-nose take on the boisterous, oft-flustered John Madden (as well as other charismatic commentators).
