OMC: You have the TV show. You have regular guest spots on the late-night shows. What's left on your list? What's the dream gig? Is it hosting "Saturday Night Live?" Is it sitting next to Oprah? What else is there?
FC: (Laughs) I don't know. My goal, and this is going to sound stupid, was always to be a talk-show guest. I wanted to be like Jonathan Winters or Robin Williams. That's kind of what I wanted to do. So, I've kind of gotten to the level of where I really wanted to be. I don't know what's going to come next. I don't think about it very much, to be honest with you.
Agents and managers are always pushing -- What's next? What's next? -- and, I'm like "Ahhh ... Let's just enjoy what's going on ... " I'm too busy as it is. I would love to be able to spend some time with my family instead of doing pitch meetings for three or four movies that I'm never going to be in. It's always like "Yeah, you're great. But, we went with Jack Black."
OMC: Will you ever move to Hollywood?
FC: We lived there. I got out of there. I couldn't take it. I fly in when I need to do something. I'm very anti-Hollywood. I just can't do it. I don't want my kids growing up with that fake-y kind of attitude. People don't work hard -- I shouldn't say they don't work hard, but they work hard on different things. It's kind of a weird "priorities-are-out-of-whack" thing.
As much as I'm on TV now and recognized now, it's hard because everybody thinks I can get them work.

Someone famous once said "If you have to ask, you'll never know." Can't recall who, but I'd bet Caliendo could do him. The statement is, however, good advise for those who flunk their weigh-in. His Jim Rome takes are "...incredible."

I can't even figure out who he is supposed to be half the time in the "impressions." They all sound the same.

I heard he is a nice guy, but haven't his 15 minutes passed?
