Is it me or is Chris Berman a bigger human being than I thought?

[@rosshageman951]

When life returns to 'normal' and Frank does his stage show, I highly recommend it. I saw his show several years ago and your sides will hurt from laughing so much.

[@topsam2256]

His Herm Edwards is absolutely perfect

[@JoeTuman]

At the beginning when he’s doing gruden it’s obviously not bad but if you listen to him do gruden now it’s 10x better just shows how dedicated to it he is

[@bowlchamps37]

This is not done over and over, this is live. I have seen him do it live and they are not as perfect as in the videos.

[@jerrybrownell3633]

Frank is one of the funniest guys you'll ever enjoy.

[@mitchfricano]

his gruden has definitely improved since this segment...

[@lbj2320]

yea but in this segment he'S passively doing several different impressions on the spot without warm up etc. his gruden impression that you see now are like prepared, warmed up etc

[@mitrisaosefh9610]

Back when this show was watchable

[@ckmoore101]

My first ever comedic performance i attended, was Frank in Kansas City, in 2004. We knew then, he was destined for greatness... we loved him from MadTv.

[@jonvia]

I love Frank's Chris Berman impression. Berman is one of my favorites in all of sports.

[@PaulGaither]

Just seeing him, a normal sized person, next to those men reminds you what massive humans they not only are, but also what amazing athletes they were in their prime. Look at how huge Ditka is, and imagine what it must have been like having to cover, tackle and shed blocks vs him in his prime as a TE.

[@joe-vz6hx]

@hjg khk yeah but he looks like a munchkin next to these guys. I didn't realize Berman was that big.

[@KevinTkt14]

It's hilarious how small most people on tv are compared to athletes 😂😂

[@cjr1881]

Why?

[@B-Mag]

@@cjr1881 because he is only slightly below average height but he looks like a dwarf compared to the other guys

[@corystansbury]

Same thought. He's probably fairly average in size and looks like a child.

[@bcp5296d]

@@corystansbury he's 5'7"

[@RileyTheGamer]

Right? You’ll see pictures of like celebrities who are 6’2” and they talk about how tall they are meanwhile I’m 6’3” and one of the shortest in my family

[@FratBoyFishing]

I never realized how tall Chris Berman was, just googled the guy is 6'5!! Never knew that

[@jph595]

I was gonna say.. Frank looks really short. Then I noticed Berman was about as tall as Keyshawn. You'd never think that.

[@fredcasdensworld]

Well.... most of the time Berman was sitting down

[@JoeTuman]

Caliendo is so funny

[@matrixphijr]

I feel like his impression of Berman is really just John Madden and Bill Walton mashed together... and yet it's completely accurate.

[@bjensen]

He's like a master chef creating new dishes by mixing other ones.

[@KristoferProphet]

His Rex is actually really good lol.

[@donjohnson2758]

We need Frank to read those Emails, STAT!

[@vinceniederman]

I Love When Frank Does Chris Berman Hahahahaha!

[@therbomb1954]

Dude his gruden is spot on

[@DH-lm6kh]

Never realized how tall Berman is

[@emersonmiller4554]

Def miss these days at ESPN

[@jimmyfischbeck9872]

Now John Gruden does a great Frank Caliendo.

[@neetrab]

Man I was hoping he'd do madden. My fav

[@TheDON914]

FACTS

[@kamikaze1352]

This guys so talented

[@ianshort2935]

This gives me flashbacks to when this show was good

[@michaelr3583]

The boomer impression gets me everytime

[@vinceniederman]

Me Too and Tom Jackson Gets a Laugh Out of Frank Hahahahaha!

[@adamhonestyanddecency5054]

People need to pressure him to do Mahomes.

[@adamhonestyanddecency5054]

Seriously. Just a couple of days before the Super Bowl, he FINALLY did Mahomes for like five seconds and then reverted to Gruden or something. 🤔

[@ianshort2935]

he did it on a rich eisen segment in 2019

[@adamhonestyanddecency5054]

Ian Short Right. Once or twice maybe over 2-3 years.

[@stepaushi]

Yessir.

[@TheDON914]

Right 😂

[@markshwindell3788]

Throwback to when Monday night football was actually good and sports center in the morning with boom

[@markmury6934]

Berman is a big dude

[@Ben-xh2wb]

This cast is uptight.

[@topcatthegamer9541]

I can walk like an accordion. 🤣🤣🤣

[@peterbeltran5543]

This guy can do anyone. Cha-ching Money is everywhere for Frank

[@jesus4ever855]

Aye boom the funniest ever

[@texlancer9659]

I never realized that Frank was an impressionist. I had only seen his NFL pre game stuff. Any links to his funny stuff?

[@dmx1721]

Look up his john madden skits on mad tv

[@dannygillmusic]

Might be the most accurate impressionist ever

[@michaelbryan5755]

He used to be on the sketch comedy show MadTV. He is hilarious

[@divefraggle]

The birth of Gruden.

[@cameronholladay3605]

I love that he did Ditka...to Ditka!! This Ditka’s ok, but there’s better videos where he’s done a much better one

[@matthewcragg3607]

5' 7" is the answer. I was as astonished as all the rest of you so I looked it up.

[@winthorpetrois]

Would it kill you guys to say when this was from?

[@domscards]

@Jon Davis No, I would guess earlier than that.

[@inlinechris]

2012

[@brockbaldridge7620]

2012, he references the fail Mary

[@nicks7690]

His Gruden sounded like Bob Uecker back then.

[@kingjohn455]

Everything about Gruden is positive lol

[@cellslave]

he is GRUDEN

[@Briantrenne]

He’s so short next to everyone else🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@TheSlugger76]

I wish they play this guy instead having them on espn + better then the joker that are on there

[@23Robusto]

I'm terrified of Ditka and I'm watching a recording on KZbin

[@fishmonger6879]

Help me understand. The video says 1 yr yet this is clearly 10 or 20 years old

[@Mexicanwordofthedayy]

Are you new to KZbin or something? The video itself was uploaded a year ago. You can upload old videos on KZbin. I d i o t

[@Jondsmusic]

He’s so great and so little compared to these guys!

[@Ysoserious1]

These guys are so good at being bad 😂

[@casualobserver2380]

Frank looks like he's 5' 1"

[@marvinthiessen3454]

It was great until Steven A. Smith showed up at the end.........and most of us know the A stands for.

[@johnny1963ify]

I hate that guy too.

[@armandomacias8403]

The way coach started to actually chew gum....

[@dancollins8296]

How tall is he like 4'10"

[@BlueStar1124]

thumbs down for having to put SAS at the end.

[@asianfireflie]

15th comment

[@wyodrifter5539]

ESPN ruined everything as we knew it

[@angelcitygirl]

He's tiny but funny.

[@howardlovecraft750]

I didn't know Frank Caliendo was a dwarf.

[@1Lesen]

Lol frank makes boomer look huge 😂😂😂

[@ravisbanda]

He didn't have the right audience...

[@TomDelayBeats]

ironically...

[@howedelamitri]

Where's Samwise?

[@totalba69]

neo robertson Samwise Gamgee?

[@normp3273]

Tough crowd

[@MrJking065]

JFC I had no idea Chris Berman was a yuge guy.

[@ningishzidduofnibiru286]

I don't get it

[@shlepmessing8703]

His Gruden was perfected.

[@hassansaleh4649]

What happened to this crew smh espn

[@inst4rmin.x4_onYT]

This is obviously old, his Gruden was way off then

[@heinz5714]

Meh

[@jimmy5634]

You know how you can tell who all the old guys are? Their pant cuffs are all too long.

[@thepanman8]

I feel like frank was put on the spot, and too much pressure to be funny in this segment.

[@BSimms]

is he 4 foot 5?

[@oaklandathletic91]

Now so sad smh

[@claudiorodriguez6044]

The blue soil cosmetically guard because shock family telephone but a safe dungeon. cute, victorious blanket

[@antoniolarkett1333]

Gruden not positive

[@TheAj0323]

Are all the rest of the guys giants or is he tiny?
