FOX replaces Frank Caliendo with Rob Riggle
FOX adds Rob Riggle for pregame show
Posted by Mike Florio on August 26, 2012, 6:23 PM EDT The 2012 ESPY Awards - Show Getty Images The folks at FOX have developed a tradition of providing game picks via a comedian. This year, they’re providing a new comedian to provide the game picks. Frank Caliendo announced earlier this month that he has left FOX after nine years. During halftime of Sunday’s 49ers-Broncos game, FOX announced that Rob Riggle will take Caliendo’s place. Riggle, 42, is a veteran of shows like Saturday Night Live and The Daily Show. He has appeared in numerous films, and he hosted the ESPY Awards in July. He also is an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve. Riggle debuts on September 9. Maybe for his first segment he’ll impersonate Caliendo impersonating John Madden. |

Good. Caliendo was ****ing atrocious. Just never, ever funny.
I still probably won't tune in to the Fox pre-game. I stick with CBS. |

Good. Caliendo was just a one trick pony. His impersonations are good but it wears thin after awhile.

I never watch FOX really. I'm always watching CBS because, well, we're in the AFC lol. Even when we're playing an NFC team and the game is on FOX they don't really talk about us as much as CBS does.

You get kinda stuck with it if you go to a bar to watch games. I have to usually get there an hour to an hour and a half before kickoff to get a decent seat. They are usually playing the local feed over the PA when I get there and I am sick of hearing Frank's pics, so this is a plus for me. Riggle probably follows the Chiefs more than the other broadcasters so I want to see his takes on the Chiefs games.

If you listen to Jay Mohers podcast where he interviews Riggle he talks all about his career. Really cool guy representing Johnson County.
