I don’t really like morning radio shows. I wake up to one, but it’s not for the content as much as it’s for the fact that I know the often-grating voices of the DJs will wake me up. They’re occasionally funny, and I like some of the games they play…but on the whole, I’d rather just hit snooze repeatedly. This morning, however, I listened to the morning show for an entire half hour while I laid in bed dozing. They had this improv comedian on who does impressions, and he was freaking amazing! Maybe it seemed even better because it was radio, and I couldn’t see his face…but he was incredibly good. His George W. Bush was dead on, as was his Jack Nicholson, Jeff Goldblum, John Madden, and Adam Sandler. He did Paulie Shore, Robin Williams, Terry Bradshow, Ted Koppel, Bill Clinton, Kermit the Frog…I mean, I can’t even remember all the different voices he did. And he switched between them so fast that it sounded like all these people were literally in the radio booth having a conversation. And he was funny too!
I came to work and had to look the guy up. Gavin heard him on a different radio station this morning, so apparently he was making the rounds. His name is Frank Caliento and he’s in Houston for three shows. We may go see him on Sunday. I’m telling you, he was good.
Anyway. That’s my randomness of the day. Dude was hilarious.
