00:00Frank Caliendo still in studio with us and will be all the way up until 3 o'clock.
00:05Frank Caliendo, three shows coming up at the Palm Beach Improv, which is in Wellington.
00:11One show tomorrow night, two shows on Saturday.
00:14You can get your tickets right now at frankonstage.com or palmbeachimprov.com.
00:21Are there any impressions that you do in 2026 where, I just saw you in Naples, but where you go,
00:27I can't believe this still works in 2026.
00:30Well, people will call him out at the end because I give people like the last five minutes or something.
00:34If I haven't done something, people will still all call out Ted Knight from Caddyshack.
00:39Which these guys don't know, right?
00:40Well, you know Ted Knight.
00:42Spalding, I want you on the golf course in five minutes.
00:45Chop, chop.
00:45Oh, yeah, there's old stuff like that.
00:50How will people know?
00:51No, but I mean if there's YouTube and the classics like that, more movies cross over to current
00:58culture than television shows.
01:01Is sports your wheelhouse?
01:04That's what people know me from the most.
01:06Right, so is that where the crowd is drawn from mostly?
01:09Yeah, I think that would call into the business, they'd call them my P1s probably.
01:13But it's, the show is for everybody.
01:15That's the thing is, sometimes clubs or theaters or whatever, they'll market me as a sports
01:19comedian.
01:20I'm like, no, no, no, no.
01:21You're turning away people.
01:22I'm like the news.
01:23There'll be some sports.
01:24We'll have weather.
01:25A story about a fluffy bunny that somebody found.
01:27That's what the show is.
01:29It's not all John Gruden and Charles Barkley and John Matt.
01:33That's not what it is.
01:34It's Morgan Freeman sometimes, Sonny.
01:36Just narrating us through where we need to go.
01:39Does Morgan Freeman, this is a conversation we've been having on this show for a while,
01:43but does he like a hot dog at Costco?
01:45Do you like a Costco hot dog?
01:46I like a little glizzy now and then.
01:53Already got it.
01:55What are we talking about here, Sonny?
01:56Does Adam Sandler enjoy it at Costco?
01:59Yeah, I'm a Chicago-style kind of guy.
02:01You ever been to River Road Hot Dogs over there?
02:05Oh, over there in Elmwood Park, I believe it is.
02:08River Road.
02:09Maybe it's in River Park.
02:10Maybe that's what it is in Chicago.
02:12They put the fries right on the burger.
02:14It's not a burger?
02:15What was I thinking, huh?
02:18Is it a sandwich?
02:19Is it a hot dog a sandwich or isn't it?
02:21You figure that out.
02:22But they put the fries on there and you can't put ketchup on a hot dog.
02:27They're going to go crazy for you.
02:28What about that George Bush?
02:29Well, I've been known to hot dog myself, man.
02:34You know who else?
02:34Big hot dog?
02:35Bill Clinton.
02:36I heard he's got a big hot dog.
02:38That's hysterical, man.
02:39You can use that for a promo.
02:43Promote the show, Hockman Crowder in Saldinia.
02:50That's one of my favorites when you do Bush because he gives the giggle to his own, and
02:54he's so enamored.
02:56Jokification, man.
02:57I made that up on the spot.
03:00Bill Clinton like a Costco.
03:02You bet I do.
03:04Fill up that bun.
03:11Juicy.
03:13It's not just on the back of sweatpants.
03:20Jim Rome?
03:21Jim Rome like a glizzy?
03:22Incredible.
03:23What is up?
03:23I'm going to glamorize that glitchy.
03:26What is up with this dog?
03:30Incredible.
03:31Phenomenal.
03:32Arugula.
03:33Put a little bit of lettuce as dressing.
03:37You put the slaw on the glizzy?
03:39I would not.
03:41That's not cool.
03:42What is up?
03:45So funny to me, man.
03:47Pacino?
03:48Pacino like a hot dog?
03:49No, I don't.
03:51I enjoy a standard sandwich.
03:54Something you grab with two hands.
04:00It's the chewing of the gum, right?
04:03Yeah.
04:03How in the world can you eat a hot dog when you're chewing gum?
04:08Can't do it.
04:08Does he do that?
04:10Or did you notice?
04:11Where did that come from?
04:13It's my favorite part of his Pacino is when he starts to chew the gum because you know Pacino's
04:17coming.
04:18It's my favorite impression.
04:19It always looks like he's mime and gum chewing because you don't see any gum.
04:23If somebody's chewing gum, you see the gum in the teeth.
04:28You never see it with me.
04:30So it's mime.
04:32Mime gum.
04:34But it's the impression with the creativity of the content.
04:39And you can do it just off the bat.
04:41That's what kills me.
04:42Sometimes.
04:42Sometimes it works.
04:44Sometimes it doesn't.
04:48It's crazy.
04:52This is why you have to see him live because we're getting the visual and people streaming
04:57the show on YouTube are seeing it.
04:58But he's lost in the character, right?
05:02I mean, he's lost in the character.
05:04That's when it's the most fun.
05:05Yeah.
05:05When it starts.
05:06You start riffing at the club sometimes.
05:08That's why I like the club so much.
05:10That's why I turn down the stadiums.
05:12And I'll tell you, there's a second one.
05:17Yeah.
05:18I like because I'm always trying to create now.
05:20I got in a rut for a while where I was kind of just doing the same stuff over and
05:24over.
05:24So I was like, ah, get back to the clubs and do some new stuff and create on stage.
05:28That's what's most fun to me.
05:30What about Bill Walton, Bill Walton, like a hot dog?
05:34It doesn't get any better than this.
05:37Put everything you want on it.
05:39Mustard, ketchup, relish.
05:41I've even thrown fire onto my hot dog.
05:44Make it truly hot or red hot.
05:46It doesn't get any better than this.
05:50How about Mel Kiper?
05:51Could Mel Kiper break down the frozen?
05:52Hey, talk about a tremendous set of different types of hot dogs.
05:55There's Hebrew National, big with the Hockman family.
05:59Take a look at what types of different.
06:01Oscar Mayer, my bologna has a first name.
06:05It's O-S-C-A-R.
06:07My bologna has a second name.
06:08It's M-A-Y-E-R.
06:10Now, here's the deal.
06:10At the end of the day, it doesn't have to be bologna.
06:13It could be a hot dog.
06:14It could be 100%.
06:15B-Frank's going to cost you a little bit more on the end cap.
06:19But they're trying to get rid of him because nobody realizes how good those are.
06:25Nathan's hot dog.
06:26Tremendous.
06:27I think they celebrate the 4th of July based on Nathan's at the end of the day.
06:31If there was no Nathan's hot dog, there wouldn't be a country to live in.
06:38It's the little things that draw me into what he does.
06:43Just dropping in the end cap as if he's actually, like it's such a grocery term, but it's something like
06:51if Mel Kiper was analyzing.
06:53I think a lot of times on the end cap, they're putting things that either have paid extra promotional dollars
07:00to be on the end cap because people are going there in between us.
07:04In the middle of the aisle, they're missing a lot of different things.
07:06I mean, a lot of times in the middle, you could be looking for a specific type of cookie.
07:11And I'm like, I can find the regular Oreos, but I'm looking for the pumpkin spice Oreos.
07:17There are only a couple of them that they're releasing seasonally.
07:22And you know, the other thing I found the other day, I didn't realize they're not doing Count Chocula, Frankenberry,
07:27and Boo Berry a year round.
07:29They brought it down to seasonally activate the Frankenberry, Count Chocula, and Boo Berry.
07:34And at the end of the day, what I want is my milk that's left over in the bowl.
07:40I'm going to drink it down and have a blueberry flavor and texture.
07:45And forget the fact that I kind of look like Count Chocula.
07:49He does.
07:50Kuyper does look like Count Chocula.
07:52He's a cross between Sam the American Eagle from the Muppets and Count Chocula.
07:56I did a sketch on ESPN with Sam the American Eagle, and the guy playing Sam, it's Kuyper and Sam
08:02turning their heads to each other.
08:05And the American Eagle's like, he's not my type.
08:10I don't get it.
08:12Is Adam Schefter hearing any news about Costco glizzy?
08:15According to my sources, at this particular time, it appears that people are abandoning the pizza at Costco and going
08:22for the dizzy glizzy.
08:27You think Donald Trump would enjoy a glizzy?
08:30Well, there's a lot of people.
08:31There's so many people.
08:32And there's so many people enjoying different types of hot dogs.
08:36And I've heard all of them.
08:37And they all say, it's so good.
08:38And I said, what are we doing here?
08:41By the way, I do library trump, not the over-the-top.
08:45I do the library trump.
08:45And we're going to put so many different toppings, so many different toppings on the fantastic hot dog.
08:52There's so many cravings.
08:54We're going to do relish.
08:55I said, why are we putting relish in there?
08:57I said, we've got to give jobs to the pickles.
09:00You know, you have to pickle people.
09:01You've got the pickles.
09:02And I said, we've got too many cucumbers that aren't being handled.
09:05And I said, you've got to be careful.
09:07You've got to be careful.
09:08And then we're going to bomb the hot dog with mustard and ketchup.
09:12We're going to bomb the hot dogs with mustard and ketchup.
09:15And it's going to be a fantastic treat.
09:17Do you ever have a chili dog?
09:18Chili dog?
09:19Chili today at the Mali.
09:24A lot of people don't know chili starts with a C.
09:26That's Trump's new thing.
09:28Joe Biden like a glizzy?
09:30Folks, I like McDonald's.
09:33My favorite glizzy is a McDonald's blizzard.
09:36Rising man grew up in Scrapp, Pennsylvania.
09:43Ronald McDonald came to my house.
09:45He said, let me get you a glizzy.
09:47I said, folks, what are we doing here?
09:54I said to Joe, I go, you got it all wrong.
09:58You got it all wrong.
09:59You're talking about the wrong thing.
10:00You're talking about McDonald's.
10:01They said, McDonald's, it's a good time for the great taste.
10:03And I said, you got Mayor McCheese.
10:06He did such a great job with law enforcement.
10:08Mayor McCheese, a great guy.
10:10And I said, we got Mayor McCheese, Mayor McCheese.
10:15And we've got Officer Big Mac.
10:18And we've got so many great people, the Fry Guys.
10:23We're looking for the Fry Guys.
10:24We're going to build a ball pit.
10:26We're going to build the greatest ball pit.
10:27And we've got the best guy for the, we're giving him an award, Elon McMuffin.
10:34The electric, he's going, he's coming up with the electric cooking apparatus.
10:39And we're making Elon McMuffins.
10:41And everybody's going to love it.
10:43We're going to love it.
10:43Are we friends again?
10:45How are we?
10:47Joe Biden saying, my favorite hot dog is a McDonald's blizzard.
10:53That's artwork.
10:55That's Picasso.
10:56I don't know about that.
10:57Just a bunch of mistakes coming out of my head.
10:59A McDonald's blizzard is my, I mean, it's just.
11:03Folks, you think it's a joke.
11:06I'm not joking around with a McDonald's blizzard.
11:21Oh my God, we now are glitz and burrell.
11:26You know, sometimes I wonder if he's crazy.
11:31Sometimes I wonder if I'm just crazy.
11:33There's so many people.
11:34What do you think, Elon?
11:35You know, uh, okay, okay.
11:38Yeah, well, you know, rockets, you know, put rockets on the top of our, you know, okay.
11:45That's the extent of my Elon Musk.
11:48You know, uh, okay, all right, okay.
11:51Oh.
11:53We've got to let Frank go.
11:54Oh, my God, that's crazy.
11:56We'll just go Rogan on it.
11:57Just crazy.
11:57I love that, too, because every reaction is that.
12:00It's unbelievable.
12:02It's like you can tell him that four quarters make a dollar, and he's like,
12:05Oh, my God.
12:06You mean you can break change like that?
12:08Oh, man.
12:11Alex, Alex, did you?
12:12Yeah, I heard we could break change, and they're turning the change gay.
12:17That's what they're doing.
12:25Great.
12:26I can't think of who's the psychologist he's always got on from Canada, or used to always have on.
12:32Who?
12:33Rogan.
12:33He's not Dr. Drew.
12:36No, no.
12:37It's not.
12:38It's not what we're talking about here.
12:40It's not.
12:41It's infiltrated everything.
12:43I can't think of the name.
12:45Jordan Peterson.
12:46Jordan Peterson.
12:47Yeah.
12:47It's not.
12:48I've had a hot dog, and it was naked.
12:52And it was determined whether it was a male or a female hot dog, and I said, I'm addressing you
12:57as a hot dog.
12:58That's the only way.
12:59Turns out they're from another dimension.
13:03Oh, my God.
13:04They are.
13:06They're from.
13:08You know, we've heard about the extraterrestrial hot dogs.
13:11We've heard about them, and I said, we're going to blow them up.
13:14You ever put a hot dog in a microwave?
13:16You put it in a little too long?
13:17That's what we're going to do to the extraterrestrial hot dogs.
13:20We're going to microwave them, and we're going to blow them up in Los Angeles.
13:25We're going to blow them up in LA.
13:27And the people took my, people took a lot of my comments out of, out of, out of context.
13:34And I said, no, I said, we're not going to bomb.
13:36We don't want people to bomb those places.
13:38We want to bomb the extraterrestrials.
13:42The ETHDs.
13:44And the people said, ETHD, what is that?
13:46I said, extraterrestrial hot dog, Nick.
13:48You know the stupidest guy I've ever heard?
13:49There's so many stupid people.
13:51There's so many people that don't know what the ETHD is.
13:54And I said, it's not HDTV.
13:56We're going to do the ETHDs on HDTV.
13:59And I said, the network.
14:00And I said, no, not the network.
14:01An actual HD television.
14:03How can I put it on YouTube?
14:05It's not spelled with a U.
14:06It's spelled with a way or U.
14:09I'm winded listening to you.
14:10Aren't you tired after doing this for an hour?
14:13Now you're going to go do Stugatz's show for an hour.
14:14Aren't you tired?
14:15Yeah, but none of that will make sense.
14:23Try doing Alex Jones to Stugatz.
14:26Try to figure that one out.
14:28He'll have absolutely no idea.
14:29No idea.
14:31For living inside his brain matter.
14:36Marcos is wrapping it up here.
14:37All right, Frank Caliendo is going to be tomorrow at the Palm Beach Improv in Wellington.
14:41And then two shows on Saturday at the Palm Beach Improv in Wellington.
14:46And they will sell out.
14:48So I suggest you go to frankonstage.com right now.
14:52Or palmbeachimprov.com.
14:54We appreciate you spending an entire hour with us.
14:56And that was just Frank enjoying some time with Hockman Crowder.
15:00And formerly Solana.
15:03Who's still going to be here, but maybe you know something I don't know.
15:07Jimmy the Bedbug's having a tough time keeping his eyes open.
15:10Jimmy the Bedbug.
15:12It's the costume.
15:17Don't let Jimmy bite.
15:26Don't let Jimmy the Bedbug bite.
