From Charles Barkley to David Letterman, Jack Nicholson to Jim Rome and every voice in between, you may have noticed that Frank Caliendo and his catalogue of impressions are no longer on the "FOX NFL Sunday" pregame show this season. Caliendo, his impressions and his football picks have been replaced this season by Rob Riggle on that show, but Frank has now landed a new TV home.

Starting this Sunday, the former "MAD TV" cast member joins the guys on ESPN's "Sunday NFL Countdown". He'll join host Chris Berman, analysts Mike Ditka, Keyshawn Johnson, Cris Carter & Tom Jackson, along with NFL Insiders Chris Mortensen & Adam Schefter in the "Worldwide Leader's" Bristol, CT studios. Although Frank and his impressions will be live this Sunday morning on "Countdown", the plan is for Frank to make several other appearances on the show during the regular season and into the NFL Playoffs by way of taped comedy segments, similar to what Caliendo did for 9 seasons on the "FOX NFL Sunday" pregame show.

In addition to his upcoming gig on ESPN, Caliendo is a regular guest on ESPN Radio's "Mike and Mike in the Morning". He has also released 6 comedy CDs and continues to bring his catalogue of impressions to comedy clubs across America.

I had "Frank" in quotation marks for a reason, Douchebag...

Another reason to not watch NFL Countdown...Fat Fuck Berman was reason enough...at least UnFunny Frank isn't on Fox anymore.

I don't understand why ESPN has added Frank Caliendo to its "Sunday NFL Countdown" starting this weekend. All I did was report the story.

And my quest to continue to not watch NFL Countdown and concede that time to Austin & Ally so that papa bear can take a stranglehold on the main TV from noon until 6:15 continues.

Please don't put my name in quotes.

Caliendo is awful. I would rather listen to comedy and/or football picks done by Harry Tienowitz.

Teinowitz should've been gone a long time ago. I thought ESPN had a "zero tolerance" policy after his DUI arrest. As for Caliendo, I steered clear of ESPN's "NFL Countdown" yesterday.

All I did was simply report the story...

You didn't report shit. You aren't a reporter.
