Frank Caliendo
Frank Caliendo (born January 19, 1974) is an American comedian and impressionist, best known for his work on the Fox Network television series MADtv, and as the in-house prognosticator for Fox NFL Sunday. In 2007 and 2008, he performed his impersonations on his own show, Frank TV, which aired on TBS. He is known for his impressions of Charles Barkley, NFL color commentator John Madden, sportscaster Jim Rome, comedian Robin Williams, actors Morgan Freeman and William Shatner, and United States Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, and for his frequent appearances on The Bob & Tom Show. He has released six solo CDs, and has performed as many as 120 impressions. From 2009 to 2011 he had a show at the Monte Carlo Resort and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip. He now tours.
Early life and education
Caliendo was born in Chicago, Illinois, on January 19, 1974, and grew up in Waukesha, Wisconsin, where he attended Waukesha South High School. He is of Italian ancestry. Before graduating from University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, Caliendo began performing stand-up comedy at many different local night clubs and comedy clubs, eventually taking a job as a master of ceremonies at a local comedy club. Frank quickly became known for his spot on impressions of Columbo, the Seinfeld cast, Jonathan Winters, and many more which he mastered while bedridden after a painful back surgery. Within just a few years, he was very active on the college circuit, driving thousands of miles in his car. During these years, he built a reputation as one of the circuit's top performers. Between 2000 and 2001, Caliendo made his television debut on sketch comedy series Hype and later gaining significant national exposure on the comedy series MADtv.
The Bob & Tom Show
The Bob & Tom Show is a syndicated US radio program established by Bob Kevoian and Tom Griswold at radio station WFBQ in Indianapolis, Indiana, March 7, 1983, and syndicated nationally since January 6, 1995. Originally syndicated by Premiere Networks, the show moved to Cumulus Media Networks (now Westwood One) at the beginning of 2014.
The program enjoys extensive popularity and has frequently received recognition by the National Association of Broadcasters as an exemplar in American radio.
About
For most of The Bob & Tom Show’s 30+ year history, the cast consisted of hosts Bob Kevoian and Tom Griswold, sports commentator and comic foil Chick McGee, news director Kristi Lee, and producer Dean Metcalf. Kevoian and Griswold originally teamed up in the early 1980s at Petoskey, Michigan station WJML before being lured to WFBQ "Q95" Indianapolis in 1983 to host what was initially a music-heavy morning show. After McGee (in 1986) and Lee (in 1988) joined the show, the primary cast that listeners would know for decades simply as “Bob, Tom, Chick, and Kristi” was set.

The Woman Song
by: Bob & TomShe's a woman
She's a woman
Ladies and gentleman, the woman song
She's a woman, yeah
She's a woman
I am woman, hear me roar, if you don't open my door
I can do anything that a man can do, but I don't have too
Oh the female sex has a lot more class
unless we're lookin' at a male stripper's ass
I'm a twenty-first century gal, but I can't set my VCR
She's a woman, yeah
She's a woman
Well I am not your hooker but your still gonna pay
Cause sex is a special thing and a darn good weapon
Because my body belongs to me
Until I get dinner, and a movie
I don't sleep around, until I do a credit check
She's a woman, yeah
She's a woman
And I have a mind of my own, which I change every two seconds
And I'm not afraid to ask for directions cause I can't fold a map
And I stand behind my man
So I can nag him as much as I can
And I can fight in combat but I can't kill a spider
She's a woman, yeah
She's a woman
And I never tell a lie, but I will fake an orgasm
Cause I am the real McCoy, except for my boobs and my face
And I don't take drugs and I don't drink booze
But I am addicted to buying shoes
And I'm very proud of my age, which is none of your freakin' business
She's a woman, yeah
