Frank Caliendo does Morgan Freeman, Jon Gruden and Papi impressions | Highly Questionable

[@SocaTrain]

That Morgan freeman impression was the greatest thing ever!!

[@rydenseasalt9716]

Love Frank. And it's definitely not black face. He's doing impressions as flattering and entertainment. To try to accuse Frank is assinine. The dude is pure gold and he's incredibly talented. Love Frank. His John Madden, George Bush, Charles Barkley and Jon Gruden are my absolute favorites!

[@TheTonecii]

I've been saying this for a decade now...Caliendo's a comedic genius!

[@unclefreddieDied]

Wish they never replaced him with Riggle

[@fredsanford336]

Oh neat.

[@Umm-mg3pb]

I tell you man I listened to this guy like 10 years ago and he still amazes me this is the first time in ten years I've heard him he is unbelievable at impersonations like I don't even think people understand how difficult it is to nail all these impersonations he absolutely sounds like Morgan Freeman it blows my mind it's like there's a speaker behind him it's ridiculous

[@RobJazzful]

I figured out why I like Frank Caliendo so much: Sheer joy in performance.

[@huskypup3489]

Let’s hear Papi in a romantic situation: “I’m done!” 😂😂😂

[@zutheking5110]

Jeez, loosen up Bomani & Dan. Both seemed like they couldn’t wait for the segment to be finished.

Please... do you even know who Dan Lebatard really is? Do you... lol.

[@Seanmurdoch66]

ESPN'S black guy tried to play the black face card on Caliendo "Cross race impressions" an impression is an impression" white black southern/northern, his morgan freeman's impersonation is a masterpiece, give the guy some credit instead of victim blaming.

[@ONTHEEDGEFRED]

I'll never understand how anyone person can manipulate himself to sound so much like so many people. Totally hilarious.

[@jonvia]

Frank's Jon Gruden impression is so spot on, its scary!

[@eskilajnenn]

The host did a great impression of Marty Funkhouser from Curb at 6:06

[@croweziec]

I don't appreciate Dan being rude to his guest, for example when Frank was in the middle of answering a question he starts talking to Bomani. Come on be more professional

[@dsmscenester]

It's not actually being rude...it's an act and part of his schtick. It's to see how a guest react (because most will give "coachspeak" or "playerspeak" and give the viewers and interviewers essentially empty answers. Those who know LeBatard gets it and will roll with it, those who don't understand it, will feel a bit unnerved by it. Most of what he does is sarcasm and inside jokes, for which many listeners and viewers will not catch all of the time.

[@dannyfigs]

You don't get the show!

[@hansduroseau]

Dan would rather rather be a Miami scumbag than be a dirty, disgusting, Ohio loser like you. Why don't you take this L and share it with the rest of Cleveland.

[@hansduroseau]

+Sluntrox The Miami Hurricanes has won 5 national championships in the last 30 years. Until the Buckeyes can do better than us, I can talk shit about the city of Cleveland or the whole state of Ohio however the hell i want.

[@southsideman4891]

[@coldtruth4u]

[@cardsfighter2]

They've been friends forever. Frank was on Dan's show years before he was on Mike and Mike. It's awkward by design. Neither one of you choads get the show.

You can do impressions of anyone regardless of race.

Highly questionable is hit or miss, and this one missed. I don't know how anyone could mess up Frank Caliendo, but they did.

So I think Dan is dropping his comedy-which he's great at and going with some weird side show where he attacks his guests and tries to make them uncomfortable. I liked his show when it first came out he needs a xanax or three. Props to Caliendo for being quick on his feet(which he doesn't get enough credit for) and making it funny regardless of what he was given.

I don't care what anybody say it is not racial when you do different voices that different characters of color in fact I think it's damn good that just goes to show you that race isn't as different as you think it is everybody's got a little soul look at the people that can sing r&b that happen to be Caucasian and people that are negro sound Caucasian and some of their singingthe problem in our society is that some people get offended too quick they're like children

[@brandonneumann5294]

@@southsideman4891 I dont how you guys do that. It would kill me. Your body needs carbs to refuel itself. Especially before a workout. If I didnt I weigh like 150 pounds looking like a skeleton

[@southsideman4891]

@@brandonneumann5294 keto is the way, my brother. Check these things out. Insulin causes the body to store fat, but your body is meant to be in ketosis. Where it needs sugar, it will break down other nutrients to get it. But it is the sugarization of our society that causes obesity to explode. I know this personally: I lost 50lbs in 5 months, just cutting carbs and basketball. I was 270. It was embarrassing. So without going on, research the keto diet: it is the way of life

[@ThomasHenryHoran]

For some bizarre reason, it seems like Caliendo's impressions are stronger WITHOUT the hair and makeup "disguises." I think maybe it's because he captures an essence of the person in a way that makes your imagination "see" them more "accurately" than any makeup, no matter how perfect.

Christopher T so if a basketball game is going really well and it's a hyped up pregame. then in the 3rd quarter, their is a horrible call and a fight breaks out. but it's resolved somewhat and moved on and finishes the game well with a solid 4th quarter. how is that not a great game still? what was your focus of the game? perspective yah? a few rotten apples don't ruin a whole bushel, unless you dwell on them and leave them be or keep bringing up the fact the bushel had some rotten ones.... ?? catch me drift... solid enjoyable interview but clearly you need to let it flow naturally and Dan likes to control it too much at times.
