can we have a breathless documentary about the foxing of american sports?
no more robots! stop yelling at me! why do i need extra special sound effects besides those provided by the game?
GAH!

Jimmy Kimmel could pick some games when he was the resident comedian on Fox's pregame.
To be honest, I'd rather watch pro bowling than pre-football on Fox, I can only take so much on the greatness of the Cowboys. I watched the NFL network last week and they seem to focus on actual game match ups than Favre having fun or check out the raunchy fake blonde giving the weather in Seattle. Parcells is back on ESPN and he is generally a bit more entertaining than some doing the preview stuff.
Daryl Johnston is not bad doing games for Fox either.
Gus Johnson is my favorite play by play guy, mostly just for the manic energy. That dude can get you excited about the Cardinals vs. the Bills, he just is into it. Gus is even nuttier doing college hoop in March.

Gus has alot of enthusiasm but blows calls wildly during acutual play by play. It isn't a big deal though as I can suss out what's going on- I'll give him credit for making a Jets/Browns game watchable.

I keep forgetting I have NFL Network. Haven't watched it since last season.

So I guess Frank is getting his own show called Frank TV on TBS, and it looks excruciating.

Rich Little is poised for the comeback that the WH Correspondents Dinner failed to provide.

god what was i thinking, caliendo is horrible
― cankles, Saturday, 12 January 2008 23:09 (sixteen years ago) link
I used to hate him, but today he picked the Chargers over the Colts.

I've only seen the debut episode, but based on that, this is OTM.
Merely being able to do good impressiones does not = good television if you can't do anything interesting with them. Seinfeld in 2029? come on.

say what you will, he was the only one that got this game right

Jimmy Kimmel was actually pretty good at calling games, he could have probably opened up one of those 1-900 hot pick numbers with Randy White.

what the fuck is it with sports shows and their caliendo obsession? i saw an ESPN "top ten" on sportscenter the other night and #6 or something was frank caliendo doing some lame impressions during a radio show. i'm so sick of this guy.
― omar little, Friday, 17 October 2008 20:26 (fifteen years ago) link
his shit reminds me of people losing their shit over tina fey doing palin on snl. yeah the impressions are good but there are no jokes there at all
― kawał dobrej piosenki (J0rdan S.), Friday, 17 October 2008 20:27 (fifteen years ago) link
the jokes come easy for palin and the lols are timely and her impression is A+, though, whereas caliendo is still doing tony soprano and donald trump.
― omar little, Friday, 17 October 2008 20:29 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah the lols are timely thing is big. i mean these dudes commercials are him doing seinfeld and clinton!!

and i'm no fattist but his impressions of celebrities who aren't shaped like danny devito don't fly imo
― omar little, Friday, 17 October 2008 20:30 (fifteen years ago) link
plus the problem that he weighs 100+ more pounds than most of the people he's imitating

didn't he like apologize for how often his commercials are on tv recently?

I admire Caliendo. He strikes me as a guy who knows exactly how limited his skills are, and yet he's parlayed that into a career that doesn't require him to constantly do impressions on local sports talk shows at 5 in the morning anymore. He is like the David Eckstein of comedy ... a talentless, hardworking guy who is overrated by the morons who run our culture.
― polyphonic, Friday, 17 October 2008 23:24 (fifteen years ago) link
I still kinda like impressionists! The entire joke is the impression. I used to love Rich Little growing up despite the fact that he had no jokes either /doctro morbs.
I don't have cable so I rarely see him but I get a kick out of him when I do.

Caliendo's presidential bracket picks -- Frank Caliendo fills out his bracket, channeling leaders from President Clinton to President Trump.
