That Morgan Freeman impression may be the most spot on impression of another person's voice ever.

[@dhinton1]

I literally can't UNSEE Morgan reading it just like Frank did 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@MrZomg17]

Frank's Morgan Freeman.....i have no words...it was perfect..i closed my eyes and it was literally Morgan Freeman speaking .

[@Sigueme1]

I’m impressed with Frank’s impressions like everyone else but his comedy is underrated. He’s literally an excellent impressionist in a great comedians body

[@sorenpotthoff3705]

The Freeman was amazing.

This is the craziest thing I think I’ve ever seen. Absolutely astonishing. He sounds more like Morgan Freeman than Morgan Freeman does 😂

Should have added at the end of the Lebron letter, "I just miss my friend".

Yes!!!!

Maybe I just miss my friend.

That actually is a really incredible letter, I was laughing at first but then I was low key moved by that

[@lawnmowerman7]

Possibly the greatest impression in history

[@eshai27]

I miss Mike and Mike honestly.

[@SaintzCS]

watched it every morning before school

[@theogking8309]

Why did they end the show?

[@eshai27]

@@theogking8309 I think they called it quits, Greeny went solo and hosts a new morning show. Nothing lasts forever.

[@SerenityNow9015]

TheOGKing I think the Mikes wanted to go in different directions.

[@benriffle104]

@@SerenityNow9015 I can't stand Get Up. I used to listen to it every morning while getting ready after working out and after awhile I had to stop. It was always about LeBron, Dak, the Cowboys, and maybe two other subjects. Just annoying talk and people on the show.

[@tnev3717]

Seeing and hearing the Mike's back away from the mics as soon as he drops Morgan is epic radio and tv. I'm critical of ESPN.. but they have truly given me some great laughs.

[@venturatheace1]

3:45 he literally gets possessed by Morgan Freeman

[@eidorian101]

Literally? Stay in school.

[@ConsuelaAllen923]

@@eidorian101 Yeah, about that... Webster's added a new definition of "literally" that is now hyperbole.

[@ianfabiano1246]

If you look up "So was Red" from the Shawshank redemption soundtrack on Spotify and start it when he starts reading, the timing goes perfectly with the letter and ends when he says "The end".

[@jacobromero972]

That’s fantastic! 🙌

Amazing! Frank is truly a comedy genius.

[@kareembeaman8080]

His Morgan Freeman impression had me CRYING LOL

[@ilov3ohio2002]

I love that these guys try so hard to laugh silently and not ruin the bit.

Miss Mike & Mike in the morning, the good times you don't know that are that good😊

This was a great moment ! 😂

GOAT impression. The timing, pace, emotion. Unbelievable.

If you close your eyes and listen you cant even spot one flaw in that impression....take a bow sir, take a bow! 😊

[@GraceBeirut]

That was spot on, absolutely amazing!!!!

[@carlossolomon2248]

Mike and mike was my favorite show to watch on ESPN

[@locutus1126]

Have Lebron or Morgan every see this? This is too perfect, even the 2 Mike's could not contain themselves.

[@robmangeri777]

“And that’s when the caller realized they should have called Morgan Freeman’s house” lol!

I know we're all here for Morgan Freeman but his Barkley at 3:08 🔥🔥🔥

You can close your eyes and SEE Morgan Freeman reading that letter. Impressive.

Unrehearsed, that was pretty good.

Big Frank is the truth. Gift from God. He did alot of people but doing Morgan was epic. Morgan has a very distinct voice. He's amazing. God bless frank

[@raudivevoices]

Anyone else hear that buzz in the mic when Frank talks.

[@theknow7557]

Never gets old!

[@Saulgud23]

I once heard this somewhere and i thought it was like a famous Morgan Freeman line😂😂

I just realized a voice make such a huge difference - if you just read LBJ letter, it is a substandard piece of drib, typical public relation material, but in the voice of Frank / Morgan, it actually carried some gravitas it never had lol!

not all of his are great, most, not all. this is A+

Frank is too good.
