Caliendo's impression of Madden is the single best impersonation I have ever heard.

Kevin Pollak does the best Christopher Walken impression ever, and also has a few others he is pretty good at...

I am at work, youtube it, there is one where he is on a late show...amazing. If i could talk like Walken I would do it pretty much all day.

I love his Madden too (he can even dress like him), but it gets old really quick. Kevin Pollak has got to be my favorite. His Shatner is equally uber hilarity.

Here's a great example :)

Yes, Frank plays a very good John Madden, I think his Robin Williams is also very well done.

I couldn't identify spock or scotty. :eek:. Definitely funny though :laugh:

EDIT: He did that same laugh in Willow. He played one of the brownies. :D

Rich Little was far better in his prime. He had a huge cast of characters (he claims over 200) that he could mimic, both in voice and mannerisms. Frank has a few great characters, but he relies too much on Madden.

I don't generally find impressions funny. I acknowledge the skill involved to do them well, but they're only funny if they are incorporated seemlessly into an act that probably would have been funny without them.

Guess you didn't catch Frank making fun of Rich not being able to do impressions? He was on the Bob and Tom show and it was AWESOME as said by Jim Rome. :)

I always thought Darrel Hammond on SNL had some awesome impressions. His Bill Clinton and Dick Cheney are spot on. And of course, who can forget Celebrity Jeopardy with Sean Connery. "I'll take 'Famous Titties' for $400, Alec!"

Frank's Charles Barkley impersonation is also hilarious. Anyone see him on TNT a few nights ago on Inside the NBA? Looking forward to his show :thumbsup:
