What’s Frank Caliendo Going to Do Now?
What do you do when as a comedian, you build your career around your impression of a broadcaster, focusing on that broadcaster’s mythical love affair with a single player, then both leave the game at the same time?

My Bracket’s Better Than Yours
I don’t fancy myself a real basketball fan. Honestly, if I don’t have money on it, I’m not watching it. But over the years I’ve noticed that there is a funny correlation between watching basketball and filling out a bracket successfully.
