[MADtv] Frank Caliendo

[MADfan2004]

I don't think its as easy for him to make recurring charcters as everyone else. Unlike Stephnie, Micheal, Mo, etc., he came from standup (like Aries and Bobby, who also didn't have any REAL recurring characters until their second seasons on the show), and the people who came from improv (everyone else in the cast) probably come up with their characters while doing a scene.

I read a rumour online that several current cast members don't like on the set and that the producers think he doesn't care about
the series that much and that he will be fired from FOX NFL Sunday along with Jillian Barbie next football season.

So if Frank is going, that's him, Michael and Mo down. That's the main reason I watched the show. They are the three best current cast members. They better be really really good to make up for the loss.

Have you guys noticed that some of Frank's impressions have gone downhill? Like his John Madden impressions, they were good, but now, they kinda stink IMO..

[iamnodnarbs]

I have notice that he hasn't been appearing in many sketches lately. Either it's because of him being on tour or maybe it's a sign that he may not be back next season. It's a shame because I think he's great on the show.

I'm going to see one of his shows in Washington DC on May 22, maybe I can ask him about it.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I hope that it isn't a sign that he is leaving...that would make me sad....I hope you do get a chance to talk to him.

Does anyone know what the deal is with Fank and Wisconsin?
If you want to send him a photo of yourself the address is in Brookfield, Wisconsin and there are like 4 photo albums of pictures of him in Wisconsin, not to mention Chris Farley(but that one is kinda far-fetched). and let me tell you Wisconsin isn't THAT "Happening".

[iamnodnarbs]

He is from Wisconsin. He was born in Chicago and raised near Milwaukee.

My guess for why all those photos is Wisconsin is maybe he does a lot of shows there to show support for where he came from.

[Mxz]

oh Because it says that he was born in Nothern Illonios(Flatlanders) but it doesn't say anything about him living in southern Wisconsin. WOW! that's pretty neat then........Four realitivly well known Celbities lived in Wisconsin! Finally some Use for Wisconsin!

[iamnodnarbs]

Yeah..I believe the city he grew up in was Waukesha (excuse the spelling). It is a suburb or something like that of Milwaukee.

[Mxz]

yeah your right it is a suburb of Milwaukee.

[iamnodnarbs]

I hope nobody thinks I am too obsessed. I just happened to stumble upon a few articles online while surfing the net.

I read that he graduated from Waukesha High School and he played baseball while in school. He gave it up because of an injury.

[Scorpiogrrl4405]

You are no more obsessed than I am.........LOL

Thank you. I put it in the schedule. If you peoples see programs like this - programs from comedy central and vh1 and other channels im sure that don't normally show our catmembers names in the tv guides for that channel, please be sure to drop me a pm and make me aware of it... I don't always check these cast threads right away.

[madOC112789]

[newt007]

[MysterE]

I searched Franks thread for a post by Ericmonkey and found none. This thread has been merged w/ Franks. Make sure to post in the obvious threads. I'll make some guidelines on this and announce them soon. I shouldn't have to be moving posts all the time.
