Frank is seen; during football season, on FOX's "NFL Pre-Game Show," is a regular on FOX's "Best Damned Sports Show Period," and was on FOX's "Mad TV" for five seasons.
Born at the age of three in northern Illinois, Frank was already ahead of his time. Even on the day of his birth, Frank's two younger brothers knew something was funny. Before he could even speak, Frank's mother noticed him doing an incredible impersonation of a young Dudley Moore. Of course Frank's father reasoned that all babies sound like they are drunk and heave all over themselves, but that is not the point. This kid had something special. He seemed likely to perhaps have a chance to maybe someday possibly become questionably close to one of the funniest persons alive.
Naturally it was never fully discovered how gifted Frank was, until one day when an unidentified philosopher named John Hartz would declare Frank as "talent"; ...not "a talent", "with talent", or even "a talented individual", but simply as "talent". Never before had any man ever been labeled with such vague ambiguity. This incited Frank, and almost immediately he would establish thoughts about becoming a stand up comedian.
Of course Frank didn't always want to be a stand up comedian. At a youthful age, Frank boarded a train to head for baseball's spring training as a fireball left-hander with blazing speed. After a short stop in Iolla, where he struck out one of baseball's greatest players with three straight pitches, Frank re-boarded the train to meet a woman who with the pull of a trigger would knock him out of baseball for the next sixteen years.
Frank would later return to baseball as a middle-aged rookie. He used a bat made from a tree struck by lightning (named "wonder boy") to help his New York Nights regain the pennant and thereby nullify the Judge's attempt to buy out all of Pop Fischers stock and take over the team.
In the final game of his career, with blood curdling from his loins, and the likelihood of his stomach exploding, Frank would face the image of his former self in a battle of the best ...but that is another story.
Back during the days when Michael was still called "Air", Frank became particularly aware of his abilities to impersonate. First was a garbage can, and then a pole, and even a small garden weasel. However, after transitioning through sixteen straight hours of anthropomorphic activity, Frank stumbled upon his best and foremost impression. His ability to re-create the daily activity of paramecium was simply uncanny; especially when he would split in two.
His first job as an emcee at a local comedy club led to stand up comedy and
within a short period of time he was headlining at comedy clubs around the country.
Caliendo's niche was found performing on the college comedy circuit. Within
the past few years, he has performed at over 300 universities and was nominated
for College Comedian and Entertainer of the Year by the National Association
of Campus Activities.
Caliendo made his television series debut on "Hype," a sketch
comedy program that aired on the WB. He has also performed his unique
blend of comedy and impersonations on NBC's "Late Friday," Comedy
Central's "Premium Blend," the "Late, Late Show with Craig Kilborn,"
"The View," and "Late Night with Conan O'Brien."
It was only a question of time before Caliendo would join another comedy television
program. For five seasons he became a series regular on Fox's "Mad TV."
Each week the young comedian displays his amazing array of impressions (including
Robin Williams, Al Pacino and John Madden) and characterizations that
undoubtedly add spark to each and every sketch. Caliendo has also crafted a
significant national radio presence on morning shows across the country where
his special brand of humor reaches millions of listeners.
Caliendo has also been seen as "John Madden" running for President,
punching out Dennis Miller, barbequing with Emmanuel Lewis at
Jimmy Kimmel's house, and stuffing a chicken into a duck into a turkey
into a cow on Kimmel's "Pre-Game Picks segment on "The Fox NFL
Pre-Game Show."
Of course, biologically, one can only evolve to a certain point before the world must be allowed to view such activity. Thus, we give you the current organism in his existing status; bold, strong, funny, and hermetically sealed for your enjoyment... The man formerly known as "obesive-one-kenobe"...Mr. Frank Caliendo. May the farce be with you.
In his limited spare time, Caliendo enjoys playing video games, watching sports,
settling into his new home in the Hollywood Hills and working on his website,
www.frankcaliendo.com,
with his brother, Terry.
