    Non-stop rapid fire delivery. Amazing how he can transition into various persona's without missing a beat. It has to be the vocal chords. If Rich Little is the King of Impression then Frank Caliendo is the "Crown Prince".

      You can't try to focus just open up your brain to be like fishing nets and don't narrow, expand. It helps if you close your eyes for a bit and let it wash over you. Frank is the best. I wonder if he and Robin were ever on the same show. Then to add an extra drop of crazy, throw Jim Carey into that pot.

    Saw Frank at Zanies in Nashville maybe 20 years ago just before he blew-up. He has that special manic streak ability to riff endlessly on the fly that Robin Willisms had. He clearly puts a lot of time and effort into impressions and delves deeply into the nuances of each voice. Major props.

    Good grief the studio audience is pathetic! Caliendo delivered more elite comedy in a few minutes than most other comics can produce in a full hour special. Yet, this comatose crowd either couldn't keep up or just didn't "get it." The guy is a master, and he put on an absolute comedy clinic. This crowd did't deserve such a performance.
