    The fact that Madden hated this impression makes it all the more funnier.

      Well, it doesn't matter whether Madden hates it or not anymore because as of last year, John's dead, Dave!
      The impression seems realistic to me, and I'm not a John Madden! LOL
      I know him mostly because of all those Madden football videogames.
      Kinda hard to ignore a game series that has appeared on multiple console platforms AND sold over 100 million copies over the course of over 3 decades now!

    This guy used to do a quick segment on Chicago sports radio every Monday.
    By the 4th or 5th time he was on, I realized it wasn't John Madden.
    It took the line, "Brett Favre could throw a pass underwater at least 50 or 60 yards" for me to realize that was not John Madden coming through the AM radio airwaves.

    This guy Caliendo did the best Madden... what was funny is I think they kicked him out of the funeral or he thought it was a bad idea to go because he was afraid of what may have happened?... The thing that would have been funny is him doing the euology of John Madden while impersonating him and then watching his family, friends, and former players trying to hold back the tears of laughter -- this guy Caliendo was great.... I can see how Madden would hate his impression because Madden was just being himself so when someone makes fun of your personality it really does hurt.

    Many people feel that great impressions of celebrities should stop when the celebrity dies. I've always disagreed with this concept and great impressions actually honor the memory of the deceased. The sad story of Vaughn Meader, who did a hilarious take on President John F. Kennedy, is an example of killing the career of a great impressionist. Vaughn's career was another victim of the "magic bullet" on November 22, 1963. Frank Caliendo happens to do the best John Madden ever and he does an equally great Robin Williams. I still think his takes on those top late celebrities are funny and I hope he continues to do them as part of his act.

      Madden was his golden goose he knew the guy so well but with his other voices he never really got the laughs outside of “wow he did the voice great”
