People love to give tribute to those artists who are no longer alive and shower them with love and admiration. But I will say this Rich Little is the most prolific, skillful, talented and the BEST in what he does. God bless Rich
I played trombone in Rich's backup band for 24 shows in the fall of 1970. I was 19 years old. He was amazing. During that time, I had several conversations with Rich about how he developed his voices. As a result, I learned to do a few myself! Henry Fonda, Ed Sullivan, Peter Falk, Raymond Burr. Thanks, Rich!
A true entertainment legend - who deserves a much bigger audience than he obviously had on this night. - I hope he lives comfortably these days, because he certainly deserves to. A true artist! ⭐️
I guarantee you that you will never hear vulgar language from Rich Little. A class act from a time when comedy was something you could share with your family.
I remember watching his CBC (Canadian tv) special, A Christmas Carol, when I was a kid. Also, his Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts appearances were fantastic.
Loved his show! I kept thinking to myself... If my parents were still alive, they would have really enjoyed it! Also, he has a book about his life called "Little By Little" and he donates the proceeds to The Gary Sinise Foundation. God bless him!
As a baby boomer, I grew up watching him on TV, and liked his impersonations, especially of Hollywood golden stars, and especially John Wayne. The aping of politicians never interested me, and I got tired of that Watergate ordeal when I was 13. Frank Gorshin was a funny and skilled impersonator and descent singer before he was ever the Riddler, and John Byner was really a good impersonator.
I waited on this guy's table after a show in Cleveland (1976), and after trying to put down a bunch of waters on the table in a tight spot, one slipped off my tray and spilled on their table and he gave me a Paul Lynn impression : "You dumeeee".
I heard an interview with Mr. Little once where he described an episode he went through. He was trying to get ready for an appointment and take a shower. Apparently there were reporters there that didn't want to take no for an answer to delay an interview with Rich. So Rich said okay but I'm taking my shower. So while he was doing so, they tried to ask him questions but Rich was using his voice talent and pretended that there were many different personalities in the shower with him. He had the reporters laughing so hard that they couldn't ask any questions. Rich pretended to be someone that dropped the soap and using his Truman Capote voice said, "I'll pick it up"!
I just saw him doing this show in Nov 21'. It was great to be right next to the stage and shake his hand. I'm 55 and loved it. Some voices are before my time but loved all of it...especially the walks down memory lane from a by-gone era.
Henning Andersen Johnny Carson’s Karnak always mystically knew the answer to a question before the question was asked. The answer is “it wears out the camel” to the question which is revealed later -“ Why isn’t sex ed and drivers ed taught at the same time in Iraq?” The joke is that the answer sounds innocent until you hear the question. Look up Johnny Carson’s Karnak on you tube to hear a lot of these...
This guy is a slice of Hollywood Gold. Love it.

Paul I will tell him you said hi at our show tomorrow night at the tropicana here in Las Vegas. Great story thanks for sharing!

Extreme talent! Have enjoyed this guy since I was a kid!
The impression of Jimmy Stewert was great

Rich little is the best impersonator ever.
He is very very good
Frank Gorshin & one other guy (Not mentioned, for good reason) were/are better.
Did Rich really draw those celebrities? Impressive. Motivates me to try charcoal art.
Ok...
One of the greatest!
Jack Benny and George Burns remembered 42 years later...fantastic
What a timeless showman!
The best impressionist ever.
Rich Little. The Master then. The Master now.
these 10 dislikes have NO idea about true legends!!!!! Rich little the human zerox machine!!!!!!!
Hi

His Andy Rooney is impeccable as is his Jimmy Stewart. I absolutely love his Johnny Carson.
Yes exactly
LEGEND!
Rich Little; Amazing, incredible! The best impersonator ever.
The impressions of John Wayne and James Stewart brought tears to my eyes
Jimmy Stewart is best ! " I began to slur slur slur "! Jimmy Stewart movie line . Rich Little is brilliant .
That last joke freaking killed me, lol!
Rich Little pure Gold😅
Still the best!!
Still very funny and performing in his 80s!
Rich is a national treasure.
He must know that NO ONE can impersonate Rich Little! What an amazing talent.
The best impersonator ever!
National Treasure!!!
I remember watching his CBC (Canadian tv) special, A Christmas Carol, when I was a kid. Also, his Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts appearances were fantastic.
I feel so lucky to have been part of that period of time:-)
Rich is so talented at many things. If he can make me laugh right now he is the toast of artistes......and he did ! Thank you, Rich.
I can't stop laughing!!! 😂
That one liner by John Wayne about Rich Little was funny!
Rich Little is on very funny Dude most Definitely
i think Rich Little is the Father of All impersonators! Oh Wow He is just the Greatest!💞😅
Loved his show! I kept thinking to myself... If my parents were still alive, they would have really enjoyed it! Also, he has a book about his life called "Little By Little" and he donates the proceeds to The Gary Sinise Foundation. God bless him!
Rich Little is my favorite impressionist
Jack benny impression is incredible.
How I miss all these legends
His gold gold.
Benny considered Rich Little's impersonation of him the best of the lot.
He nailed Paul Lynde and John Wayne
Truly the best
This guy is the best of the best!
You are the best Rich.

He's a legend, but he should update his impressions. Im sure half of the audience don't know half of the people he's doing
The best ever!!!
True legend.
Can't stop lol
You've still got it Rich.

‼️
He is such a card I'm pretty good myself but I'm no where is good as he is..... hilarious 😂😆
The master.
The kid was probably wondering who he was imitating!
My 36 year old daughter is not familiar with the voices he does.
Darrell Tiencken
This is just a small example of the voices he could do.
In his FULL length live show, he does do many modern voices of today.
📻🙂

The really sad thing is that most younger people do not really know the voices or the people Rich is impersonating
I'd give anything in the world if he could impersonate Jackie Gleason
Rich Little does rich little better than rich little. Amazing talent.
The last man standing.
amazing
Great show
So good !!!!!
Fucking amazing
Nice sir your commedy is good I like this ha ha ha ha!!!
Best ever!
jack benny is perfect
Fantastic
He’s the best. The younger
Number # 1
I bet he'd do a great Don Adams
"The olllllllld don adams impression aye?"
I noticed that no one has ever done Robert Redford.
Bronson

When was this actually done? Can anyone help me here? Thank you kindly...Bill, Atlanta
I filmed this live April 7th 2016 in Las Vegas at the Laugh Factory insode the Tropicana. It was the first night of his residency there.
He looks great. I thought this piece was twenty years old.
I just saw him doing this show in Nov 21'. It was great to be right next to the stage and shake his hand. I'm 55 and loved it. Some voices are before my time but loved all of it...especially the walks down memory lane from a by-gone era.
I am sure a lot of young people don’t know the personalities that Ritch does
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍❤❤❤
No one was better! Sadly, all the people he did great impersonations of are all gone.
Genius
Wonder if rich has ever caught frank caliendo s act and what he thought of it.
He likes Frank but thinks his John Madden is his best impression.
He started jack Benny's voice off too low. But everything else was right.
Well, I'm sure Jack didn't always speak in his signature high-pitch.

You have to do people we know haha
hilarious.
What happened to the comedians over the last 20 years. Noticed he doesn’t bring politics into his act, take note current comedians
The best ever. Not sure about the Dean Martin?
I don't think Dino's voice is an easy one to mimic.

He used to do it perfectly but i guess he hardly uses his voice.
I know Sammy Davis Jr could do the same voice as Dean Martin.

TheLocoUnion Thank you so much. He's really naughty - and funny.
Henning Andersen you’re quite welcome’ 😎👍🏼
When you get to a certain age, don't try to color your hair a dark color.
And when your a snot nosed punk keep your mouth shut
Especially when you had beautiful salt and pepper hair 45 years ago.
He's good at doing forgotten dead guys
Then maybe he can do you someday??!
These 'forgotten' dead guys are legends..better than these so called A listers around today
Jack Benny was Jewish
if your a fan as I am you should read his new book. It is his self written Autobiography. www.amazon.com/Little-People-Ive.../dp/1457549573/
He’s looking old haha god bless him
Old people generally do look old.
Hes kinda lost his talent. Some voices just sound like rich little
But he was still pretty good.
Yeah, but that's because he recently added himself to the list of the celebrities he impersonates.
That's not a very good photo of Jack Benny.
Are those fake laughs? Don’t sound real
