The problem with him is he needs writers to make him funny. His impressions are good, but what he says (the writing) isn't.

Frank Calliendo is this generations Rich Little IMO, does good impressions but really has no other act.
Comics work in front of an audience and have a good idea of what works and what doesn't. It makes some sense to cast them rather than have them write. When it works, it often works really well.
The Cosby Show, Full House, Rosanne, Home Improvement, Sienfeld, and Everybody Loves Raymond are good examples of established comics raking in piles of money for the networks.

Rich Little- dead oir alive?
I used to like Frank. Thought he was pretty funny.
Now I'd like to kill him.
Is it possible to completely overexpose a performer before the show even starts?
I think it is.
