Frank Caliendo to Join ESPN Sunday NFL Countdown

http://sportsmediajournal.com/ From one NFL pregame show to another for comedian Frank Caliendo. The former contributor to Fox NFL Sunday has found a new home on ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown. Caliendo spent nine seasons with Fox. He begins his new job with the ESPN pre-game show this Sunday. “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!” “Not only does ESPN have some of the best minds in all of sports, it is also home to some of the biggest characters in sports,” he said. “I’m looking forward to the opportunity to do some new and different things that will shape new subjects and material. It’s going to be fun.” “We have always admired Frank’s comedy, impressions and his NFL-centric humor,” said ESPN’s Seth Markman, senior coordinating producer who oversees ESPN’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.”
