Actual quote from Peter King this morning: "I could watch the Frank Caliendo stuff about a hundred more times. He's funnier today than Belushi was 30 years ago. He's even got George Bush's facial expressions down pat. I mean, they're perfect." [SI.com]

You sure that's not Larry King?
Really, was anyone shocked that peter king enjoys those commericals?
One more reason to doubt Mr. Kings judgement (not to mention saity).
Frank Caliendo is funny. I love Frankie C!

I was wondering what kind of douchbag would watch that... well, asked and answered, I guess.
Peter King: Having his thumb on the pulse of sports fans everywhere since 1957.
By comparsion, Kige is the greatest sports mind of our day. The only thing Frank has in common with Belushi circa 1977 is the waistline. As others have said, if you're on MadTV and Fox won't give you a show, how funny can you be?
Belushi's spinning in his grave.
Not because of King's comment, because of the speedball.
King also loves Two and a Half Men. I don't know that for sure, but it's a safe assumption.
Most annoying set of commercials:
Frank Caliendo "Frank TV" > Tom Berringer as Paul Bear Bryandt, "Junction Boys"
He also said that he called someone on "the cellular".
Oy.
Well, we're probably going to see it at least another hundred times anyway. We'll see how happy Peter King is when it hits a thousand.
Peter King loves Turducket.
This is the type of comment that would make me say that Peter King is an idiot. And then I remember that Peter King is an idiot. Of course he thinks Frank Calliendo is funnier than Belushi. It's almost soothing and reassuring that he does.
@Stay Away From Oprah: Barry Pepper as Dale Earnhardt would politely disagree.
Funny how these commercials are 50% of the reason I don't plan on watching the NLCS.
The other 50% because I'm pretty sure me and 5 of my friends could beat the Diamondbacks.
I wonder if this is the week that I remember that Heroes is back, and that I should make a point to watch it.
Jackie Harvey wishes he came up with that line first.
Trent, this is PK, you ok? U took a hrd hit; I was scared Tiki said u'd b ok b/c you r tough I hope he is right. Text me back 1 if your ok.
is he now reading ksk's mockery of himself and thinking, "you know, this stuff is pretty good. they're right. i could be MORE random and nonsensical."
It is one of ESPN's greatest losses of 2007 that Peter King couldn't become E-60's version of Andy Rooney.
@Chad Sexington: As would the snaggletoothed "It's the meers" girl.
so i happen to be visiting my parents the week after they just installed a gorgeous new hdtv, and it pains me every time those ads are on to see more pixels devoted to him. the two minutes of footage used in the commercials are bad enough; any more would violate my 8th amendment rights.
@sandwichmulroney: Ugh! Fuck that bitch.
@sandwichmulroney: I really hate those ads.
@sandwichmulroney:
/whispers
Zoom zoom.
@Chad Sexington: I just want to race, Daddy
Caliendo couldn't carry Belushi's heroin syringe.
@Rob Iracane: + a lot. Gotta go clean the coffee off my laptop
The mark of a truly great comedy mind is when he's always introduced with the word "funny" somewhere in the sentence. TBS and Fox feel obligated to let us know he's not saying these things seriously. And the Nicholson impression is impressive in its 180° spin from Jack.
Also, how does he go from saying running back is the easiest position to fill to saying Michael Turner is worth $7 million per year in the space of two pages?
@Chad Sexington:
So would Tom Sizemore as Pete Rose.
"I could watch Najeh Davenport tote the rock about a 100 more times. He's better today than Walter Payton was 25 years ago."
Christ, this is shitty even for PK. Who the hell "chuckles at the importance of turnovers?"
Ok, maybe Lovie Smith since he stayed with the Sex Cannon for so long.
@blainer: T. Straw Mann is a new addition to the Football Night in America team. Everyone at NBC Sports agreed they were missing just one more person in the studio show to really piss off the fire marshal.
The fuck is that?
@Delmon Young 2 L Bong Rip: Jim Hendry will soon be offering you and your friends $136 million contracts. He doesn't need to see any stats, he trusts your scouting report.
Trent Green texting with Peter King was a little...odd.
Wow, that's fantastic. Talk about out of touch.
