Frank Caliendo - Letterman - Impressionists Week 

Even after all these years this is still one of the best stand up routines I’ve ever seen.

The Robin Williams bit is pure GENIUS.

That Robin Williams impersonation was 110% correct, even with the pause and final punchline. Brilliant work!

🤣🤣 his Robin Williams… The best ever!

That whole GW Bush "he always looks like someone told him a dirty joke that he cant say out loud" is SPOT ON with GW's face lol

The genius of Frank Caliendo isn't just how great his impressions are or even that the jokes are hilarious. It's the way he can seamlessly go from voice to voice, with the facial expressions included, and keep it all together

Robin Williams was a perfect Impression!

He’s phenomenal. No one today is close. I could watch him for hours.

His Bush never gets old, I could listenify to it all day!

Oh my god. This guy doesn't impersonate. He becomes them. What a gift.

The Robin Williams part is amazing. One of the best parts of the entire thing is the facial expression he gets when he's starting that. It's so Robin Williams; it's unbelievable.

"Thats alotta math" gets me everytime 😂 And holy hell, he straight up transforms into Robin Williams. 😮

His bush impression is just gold!

17 years later..I needed this! Thanks so much! 👍👍👌😂

I keep going back to this. I could watch a whole stand up of him doing Robin Williams.

Now this guy is a proper impressionist

I've been watching the same impressions from Frank for years. but they just never get old for some reason. Especially the Pres. Bush.

THE BEST Robin Williams impression ever. If you close your eyes, it seriously just sounds like Robin Williams talking. It's just unbelievable!!

THIS IS PURE TALENT. His impressions are literally perfect in everyway. Dude's a genius. The Robin Williams blew my mind

I’ve seen this 10 times, he’s phenomenal

Frank in the NFL is phenomenal

If you look up "knocking it out of the park," this is the definition. I've been watching impressionists for over 40 years, and Caliendo does what many others don't. He gives his voices good material. He does a funny President Bush without touching on any political stuff. But in this bit, it's the linking device of Madden and his illustrator that pulls it all together. Excellent.

Best robin Williams impression ever

The Robin Williams bit was impressive as hell.

I'm from London and I have to say, there are not enough superlatives to describe just how good this is.

Frank was and is brutally brilliant with his impressions.

The only impressionist in the world where the standup material is also incredibly funny.

This guy is so talented and funny and smart. It is amazing that he’s not more famous than what he is truly amazing how this guy isn’t blowing up all over the place.

The way he instinctively switches between characters is remarkable. And they really are more characters than impressions the way he's able to embody all the mannerisms and dialogue to go along with it. Supremely talented.

Best Robin Williams Impression to date !

Frank is timeless! still great! love his appearances on Holmberg's Morning Sickness!

This never gets old…what a talented guy!

Mr. Caliendo is THE MOST spot on, talented impersonator to come along in a long, long time. Soo funny😅

OMG The Robin Williams Impression had me crying in laughter and in sadness because we won´t see Robin again!!!

Caliendo’s is the best Bush impressionist. Someone he got the pitch perfectly.

He deserves much more fame. He is so good. Really knows how-to focus on eccentricities.

Funny that before he uttered a word as Bush he got an ovation just for the facial expression

Frank is the best impressionist ever cuz he doesnt just do the voices, he makes it funny as hell

That was spot-on and hilarious!

The guys is just brilliant. Funniest impressionist out there. Watch these all the time. No one can touch him.

This has to be one of the most talented people out there. It’s quite literally nearly unbelievable.

"Some of these jokes you have to be a rocket surgeon." XDXDXD

The Madden, George W and Williams are perfect. His Clinton is hilarous as well.

😂😂😂 This guy is hilarious!! Love his impressions❤

I've seen Caliendo live and my buddy and I couldn't stop laughing. Our wives didn't get a lot of his impressions and/or jokes, but my buddy and I got them all. We were in stitches the whole night. He truly is the best impressionist I've ever seen or heard.

Hands down, one of the best 🤣!

Never heard the Dave and the Paul--pretty damn good.

OMG Robin Williams was the best!!! Also, Jurassic Park just started on TV and Jeff Goldblum started talking, hahaha, he did it exactly like him!!!

HELLO AMERICA. AND THOSE OF YOU FROM NANTUCKET!

A date and I saw Frank's show in a small comedy club in the early 2000s when he was first catching on. It was one of those clubs that don't even have much of a stage, the acts can and sometimes do just wander around among the tables and play off the audience. It was a very entertaining show. After the show as the crowd exited through the club lobby, Frank had a table set up to meet and greet and sell copies of his CD, autograph optional. He came across as very personable and down to earth. As my date and I were leaving a nearby restaurant, we were pulling out of the parking lot and saw Frank standing by himself on the street corner waiting for the light to change, apparently walking back to his hotel. It was hard to not root for him as his career really took off soon thereafter.

This guy is still the best. Nobody tops him.

Incredible talent. When you make people laugh and take them outside themselves, it's a health to the bones and life to the soul.

ANYTIME YOU ARE HAVING A BAD DAY, JUST LISTEN TO FRANK, OH MY ME MAKES MY STOMACH AND CHEEKS HURT, I LAUGH SO MUCH

Frank is great!! This guy should be making billions.

Unbelievable how good he does Robin Williams-who has to be one of the hardest people ever to mimic!

This is the first time I’ve seen a GOOD robin Williams impression - the man was near impossible to impersonate correctly.

The Dave Letterman was perfect.

He's so funny. I caught his show about 10 yrs ago. I laughed so damn hard during the whole show. He really impersonates completely with his great expressions. He segues into the character so smoothly. It's amazing. I never laughed so hard and so long.

Frank is underrated! Incredible talent 👏

Thanks for posting a higher quality version of this

I met him in 2006 after his show. He shook my hand very nice guy. First celeb I ever met.

This has to be among the best impression sets ever recording.

That is incredible great job

HAHAHA! "Some of these jokes you need to be a rocket surgeon!!!" Priceless.

He's the best and so was Madden, some people didn't care for Madden. Man, he made Monday night for me.

This guy is unbelievable!! :-D Seen him do some of the characters before, but never Robin Williams. I'm impressed... as I could actually picture Robin Williams stand there. His voice and body-language are just spot on! :-))

I could watch this all day... 8 hours later... I've been watching this all day.

Frank Caliendo executed this perfectly.

Before I even saw the "Genius" part I was thinking this guy is a genius. One of the best I have ever seen.

I love how Dave had him on the show as John Madden and they did it as a straight interview.

It's one thing to imitate Robin so perfectly both in voice and mannerisms....but the capture his manic delivery like this.....absolute god mode, Mr. C.

Man, I needed that laugh. Great comedy.

I love synonym....That's my favorite flavour!!! :)

How can he think so fast ! Brilliant !

frank caliendo is one of those guys that has a good ear and has a voice to back it up to bring it all together. unreal

this man is so talented, very entertaining lol his impressions are spot on

Caliendo did Dubya's mannerisms so well, you didn't even need to hear one syllable of Texas drawl to recognize his impression of Bush 43.

He was really good at his impressions.

Amazing talent 👏

Man, I really miss this guy! He was great!

I love Dave laughing in the background thoroughly enjoying it

Frank is definitely the Rich Little of our generation! I've seen him live a few times and my stomach hurt so bad from laughing! He rules!

He is the Jonathan Winters of our time. Segueing into one voice time and again flawlessly doing call backs. Incredible.

I feel like Ive missed out on so much, I only discovered this Frank Caliendo today! He's brilliant! The George Bush mannerisms are spot on.

All of his impressions are just absolutely amazing. Especially his Bush impression.

Frank was doing Robin doing all the other things Robin did. 👏👏👏👏

Frank is the best, not just the voices, but the mannerisms, and nits some of the voices actually do...

"Here's a guy who wasn't sure how that one would work!" improv genius.

Frank is grade A! My face hurts from laughter which is better than it hurting from gettin' punched in it! There you have the "punchlines"!😂🤣😂🤣

He's so good. I love his impressions.

Never heard of this dude but that performance deserves an award

Watch his face change from Madden to Bush at 6:04. It's actually kinda freaky.

This is an amazing set, just perfect. Never seen anything like this before. He picks all the down beats with bush or Madden, and turns them into ever increasing up beats.

I came back to this just for some laughs…. This will never get old!!! 😂 Goodnight.

Awesome video, best Robin Williams impression ever ! Glad to sub

He's imitating Robin William's imitations.....THAT's FRIGGING AWESOME!!!

I've received a lot of praise for my voice acting and impressions. but frank is something so different and so amazing that i dont have (and probably never will have) anything on him. his Seinfeld impressions make me cry with laughter if only at their quality

It's not just the insane impressions, but the genius content, too.

the John Madden one is dead on!!!! it's incredible!!!

This guy is good, I am surprised his show never made it. I would blame the producers.
