Man annoys wife with imitation of Frank Caliendo doing imitation of Al Pacino doing Abbott and Costello routine

SIOUX CITY, IA — Marie Rivers was pretty annoyed Sunday evening after the 32-year-old lawyer spent most of the day being regaled by her husband with bad imitations of Frank Caliendo’s TBS commercials.

“I pretty much spent the whole day on the couch,” Marie said. “It was Sunday, and Sunday is my day to relax. James will generally spend all day Sunday in the bedroom watching football on the small TV, but today he kept running out into the living room and saying, ‘I don’t know?! THIRD BASE!’”

James Rivers’ performance was inspired by Frank Caliendo, the pudgy comedian whose new show is debuting on TBS this fall, and whose promo advertisements have been airing ad nauseum during the cable channel’s coverage of MLB’s divisional playoff series.

“Yeah, I’ve seen the commercials,” Marie Rivers said. “I get the joke, I guess. Here’s the difference – Frank Caliendo is funny. He does a good imitation of Al Pacino, he’s dressed up as Al Pacino, and he’s promoting his own television program. Plus, he’s not the one making the production decision to air himself twice every commercial break. James has none of that. James is pudgy; that’s pretty much where the similarities end.”

Marie Rivers’ hopes for a reprieve from the routine have been buoyed by the fact that the baseball playoffs are (partially) moving over to Fox. At press time, it was not known whether James would continue with the routine, even in the face of the tremendous criticism of his comedic talents.

“Look,” said James Rivers. “I don’t know much. I don’t know what the future holds. But I do know one thing – those commercials are absolutely hysterical. WHO’s on first?! WHAT’s on second?! I don’t know! SNAP! Third base!

“Hilarious!”
