From his many appearances on "The Late Show With David Letterman" to his weekly picks segment on the Fox NFL pregame show, Caliendo has been a ubiquitous television presence over the past few years. He launched his own show, "Frank TV," last fall on TBS, and several more episodes are scheduled to air later this year.
