06:33 AM ET 04.01 | Dutchie Caray is furious with AT&T over television commercials featuring comic John Caponera pitching cable TV while impersonating the late Harry Caray. "I just get shivers when I even think about it," she told WGN-Ch. 9 on Monday morning. "I was gone the whole month of March and I didn't come back until a couple of days ago. ... It made me so sick and disgusted. ... What they did [was] so unprofessional, so jerky. ... I might make an AT&T commercial, wrap myself in telephone wire, ughl-ughl-ughl and act like an idiot dope."

She has every right to be pissed.

Haven't had a chance to see the commercial yet. Can't possibly be any worse than when the depicted him on Saturday Night Live, can it?

Probably most upset about Caponera cashing the check for stealing Harry's act and not sharing it with her....

SNL Harry Caray is hilarious.
Curiosity I guess. Heck! I'm curious like a cat. I have a couple of friends that call me whiskers
Because you're curious like a cat?
Yes
I guess I'm just a worrier, that's why my friends call me whiskers.
I thought you said your friends call you whiskers cause you were curious as a cat.

Hahahahaha Durk, that skit was priceless. Isn't that the same one where he asks Jeff Goldblum if he'd eat the moon if it tasted like cheese?

"Now we all know the moon is not made out of green chesse. But what if it were made of barbecue spare ribs, would you eat it then? I know i would. Heck, I would have seconds, and then to polish it off I would have a nice cool Budweiser. I would do it! Would you? It's a simple question Doctor. Would you eat the moon if it was made of ribs? It's not rocket science. Just say yes and we'll move on." -- Harry Caray on SNL

unless he was making disparaging remarks ABOUT Caray then she shouldn't really care at all, Tons of people impersonate him because he's such a vivid character. Grow up Mrs. Caray.

SNL Harry Caray is PRICELESS!! The commercial sounds like it is in bad taste and she might be due some royalties for it if they have the right to approve such things. Jamman...you are classless, but I still hope that you are able to get old.

I've seen these commercials and they are incredibly stupid indeed. They're not an impersonation of Harry Caray as much as they are an impersonation of Will Ferrell's version of Harry Caray. Either way, the commercials are in bad taste, especially since they didn't get permission from the Caray estate to run them.

John Caponera was doing his Harry impersonation long before Will Ferell and SNL. In fact, one of the funniest bits ever is John Caponera's act on an early ESPYs show. Fall down funny stuff. If Mrs. Carey is upset just image how Charles Barkley must feel when he sees Jimmy Kimmel or Frank Caliendo do him. Get over it. I'm sure she's just upset that she isn't gettting a piece of the action. Maybe the Harry bobble heads just don't sell well anymore.
