"The Frank Show" Picked Up By TBS

TBS has announced that they have picked up “The Frank Show” starring comedian Frank Caliendo for eight episodes. The show is a late night comedy sketch show that is shot in front of a studio audience with pretaped segments. Frank Caliendo is known for his impersonation skills on FOX’s “NFL Pregame Show” and this show will play to his strengths. This show will be shown after 11pm and this is the second original late night program for TBS. The first one “10 Items or Less” recently aired but its future hasn’t been announced yet. This recent move by TBS for original programming is a departure from a channel that was for many years known for reruns, movies and sports.
