Change of lineup on Fox NFL Sunday; Riggle in, Caliendo out

http://blogs.mcall.com/groller/ FROM KEITH GROLLER Fox sent out a release on Sunday announcing that Rob Riggle has replaced impersonator Frank Caliendo as the funny man on Fox's NFL pregame show that will still feature Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long, Michael Strahan, Jimmy Johnson and host Curt Menefee. The change was also announced during Fox's Denver-SF preseason game coverage. Riggle is a familiar face. He is best known for his starring role in the hit movie 21 Jump Street, as well as roles in blockbuster films such as The Hangover and Step Brothers. He’s also a former Saturday Night Live cast member and Daily Show correspondent, and recently hosted the 2012 ESPY Awards. Rob-riggle-05 What you may not know -- I didn't -- is that Riggle has a distinguished military background and career. Currently a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Marine Corps Reserves, he has served our nation in uniform for over 22 years, including nine years as an active duty service member. He has received numerous military honors throughout his career.
