A comedian who specializes in impressions (with a regular repertory of celebrity impersonations at his disposal, including Dr. Phil McGraw, Jack Nicholson, John Madden, Robert De Niro, and others), Frank Caliendo first made his mark as a regular multi-season contributor to the Saturday Night Live-style prime-time sketch comedy review MADtv. He remained with that series from 2001 (its seventh season) through 2006, then signed for his own eponymous sketch comedy program, Frank TV, on TBS in the fall of 2007. Caliendo's resumé also includes repeat appearances on such programs as Late Night with David Letterman, The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson, and Jimmy Kimmel Live -- to name merely a few.
