Can he do Berman? ESPN Sunday NFL Countdown signs on Caliendo

Frank Caliendo wasn’t on the NFL sidelines for long. I would love to see him do Ditka in front of Ditka.

From ESPN:

With a single move, ESPN has added more than 100 new voices to its roster.

Comedian and impressionist Frank Caliendo is joining ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown as a contributor.

His first appearance is this Sunday, Oct. 14 (10 a.m. ET) when he joins Chris Berman and company at the ESPN studios in Bristol, Conn.

“As a sports fan, ESPN has always been the place to be,” Caliendo said. “This network is why I graduated (from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee) with a broadcasting degree in the first place — and now I finally get to use my degree!”

Caliendo will make a handful of other appearances on the three-hour pregame show during the regular season and playoffs, primarily in taped comedy segments.

“We have always admired Frank’s comedy, impressions and his NFL-centric humor,” said  ESPN’s Seth Markman, senior coordinating producer who oversees the network’s NFL studio shows. “He’s been working on some new material in anticipation of this opportunity which promises to be a great addition to Countdown and to our overall NFL presentation on ESPN.”
