Harry Caray Impersonator

[Benchwarmer]

I know this is a little late, but Comcast's 'Monsters in the Morning' had a Harry Caray impersonator on this morning and he was just great. I think they may replay the highlights at 11PM(CST) tonight. I miss Harry's style and this guy had it down perfectly.

 

"Do you know what Kevin Gregg spelled backwards is? Blown save."

[SouthSideRyan]

Probably John Caponera. He's painful.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

There's no such thing as a good Harry Caray impression.

[bhogg]

I don't know what's worse --- Elvis impersonators or Harry Caray impersonators. . .. . . both are horrid and make me want to hurt things.

That was not John Camponera on the Monsters in the Morning show. And THAT GUY was horrid at his impersonation. Camponera does a better HC.

Harry Caray impersonators are funny. The problem is most people that claim to be one are more of a Will Ferrell doing Harry Caray impersonator than a Harry Caray impersonator.

[Tyrant]

I thought this thread was going to be about Ryan Dempster. He's such a card.

Monsters in the morning is just awful. How did that mongoloid Mike North become so popular in Chicago? And Dan Jiggets tries to put himself up as a deep thinker, but he's such a simpleton.

How did that mongoloid Mike North become so popular in Chicago

Because he's not popular. He's been beaten in ratings in nearly every time slot he had on the radio and now he's starting the tv gig with an accompanying internet based sports radio station. He's made a career of out representing the "blue collar" Chicagoan but he's just a caricature of himself and really embarrassing that some view him as the representation of Chicago.

The question is not about his current ratings, but rather, how did he become so popular. Clearly he did become popular. But he never should have become an established personality. He's an idiot with nothing to say. I liked sportsrise especially when games ran a little late and I passed out without seeing the end. I'd throw that show on while getting ready in the morning to see what happened. Now, if I ever throw on that channel, North is just blabbering about nonsense and Jiggets is doing nothing. Were those two radio partners at one point?

Jiggets is a deep thinker compared to high school drop out North.

[Sammy Sofa]

As bad as North is, Mike Murphy is the one that really baffles me.

It's North/Jiggetts or Mike/Mike on ESPN. Which one is going to talk more about the Cubs?

Or Mulligan and Hanley.

I'd rather listen to Mike & Mike talk Arena Football than North/Jiggets wax idiotic about anything. And I don't even like Mike & Mike.

Sportsrise would have. These guys talk about nonsense. And when they do talk about the Cubs, they go on about some random worthless topic.

Part of the popularity comes from him being on one of the only sports radio shows in Chicago back when sports radio was just beginning in the city. He catered to the meatball faction of Chicago sports fan, which unfortunately hasn't diminished over the past 20 years. He's a loudmouth, racist, misogynist, barely English speaking idiot and that appeals to people who want to be that.

The heavily embellished accent is nails on a chalkboard by itself. Still less suicide inducing than Harry Teinowitz though.
