Amazing Arizonans - Frank Caliendo
Wednesday, September 04, 2024 | 54:21
The goal of Amazing Arizonans is to let the audience see and hear amazing stories from legendary Arizonans. Frank Caliendo certainly qualifies. Frank is not only the best in the business as an impersonator, he is also a brilliant joke writer. He makes both look very easy. I loved talking with him about the creative process. For someone that is so well known and talented, he is soft spoken and humble. Hearing him do such familiar voices is incredible. But sitting next to him and watching him become the person he is impersonating is where you get to see just how talented he is.
