Madden, Barkley Suing Over Caliendo Dish Net Ad
We’ve known for some time that John Madden despises Frank Caliendo’s ape-job of him. We also knew that Charles Barkley wasn’t too happy with Caliendo’s impersonation of him, which started on the TNT set earlier this NBA season.
CABLEFAX DAILY has a report today that cements the idea that both men disdain Caliendo’s parodies, as “Madden and Barkley reps ‘have threatened imminent legal action’” over Dish Network commercials featuring Caliendo doing impressions of the well-fatted duo.
Dish Network though isn’t backing down (obviously, Frank TV fans - who isn’t?).
