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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
