Tony Romo impersonates Frank Caliendo doing a Tony Romo impression during Chiefs vs. Chargers
Many NFL viewers across the country don’t mind to give their own personation of Tony Romo when it comes to Sundays. The former Cowboys quarterback has a number of phrases that he uses all the time, making him an easy target for fans to make fun of online. On Sunday in the Chiefs vs. Chargers game, Romo impersonated Frank Caliendo doing a Tony Romo impression on air.
Romo recently began helping another retired quarterback, Tom Brady, begin his transition from playing to the broadcast booth.
Romo retired from the Dallas Cowboys after the 2016 season. Then CBS immediately hired him to be the network’s lead NFL analyst for the upcoming season. They moved Phil Simms to the Sunday studio show to make way for Romo in the booth.
Romo recently talked about the chats he was having with Tom Brady.
“Just two buddies talking football,” Romo told The Athletic. “I’m excited for him. Tom will exhaust every resource to be as good at this as anybody. I think me and him have similar traits in that we’re going to try and work as hard as humanly possible to be as good as we can be at anything that we care about. He’s doing that. I think it was a genius decision by him to wait a year coming out and prepare himself. He’s going to do a great job. I think he’s going to be outstanding.”
