It just depends on whom Frank Caliendo is impersonating.
According to a UF press release, Frank Caliendo will be the main act at the 84th annual Gator Growl, which is billed as
the world's largest student-run pep rally.
Caliendo will receive $50,000 for his performance, Gator Growl Producer Aron Weingard said.
