Bill Walton and Frank Caliendo were on the same broadcast Thursday night. Yeah, it was as confusing as you'd expect.
Caliendo showed off his Walton impression during ESPN's broadcast of Oregon-Arizona State in Tempe, with Walton playing along. Play-by-play man/straight man Dave Pasch, as usual, just went with the flow.

That's your basic Bill Walton X2 + Pac-12 Hoops After Dark. (Oh, yeah, basketball: The host Sun Devils knocked off the No. 14 Ducks 77-72.)

Caliendo's best work Thursday arguably wasn't his Walton stuff, however. Check out how he nails Charles Barkley's voice as Pasch leads him into a bit to celebrate Sir Charles' 57th birthday.

If Bill ever wants to skip a game to go river rafting or mountain climbing or whatever, then Frank should slide in, do the first half as the big redhead and the second half as Chuck, just to mess with people.
