He is still alive and still does impressions
I happened to speak to him a couple of years ago...and he was gracious and just a REALLY nice guy!!! I guess I might mention that I do some dialects and impressions...and he's been a super inspiration for MANY years.
Utterly accurate. Unbelievable how he can morph from one impression to another without batting an eye.
INCREDIBLY Talented Guy, I've watched all of his Work since I was a child.
I was privileged to be his open act several times. Consistently good!
Simply the best Rich Little is the GOAT of impressionists.
A master of his craft. I still have an old VHS tape hosted by him. My two favourite impressions (other than his deadly Richard Nixon) have to be Jimmy Stewart and John Wayne. Uncanny.
He is brilliant !!
I never laugh so much . He doesn’t even try but I was laughing so much till my bellybutton falling out 🤣
You're the Best
were you able to put your belly button back in...?
Rich Little brings back memories of all those great famous voices . Made my day. Thanks Rich . Kindest regards, Mike Rogers
You would probably have to be at least 50 years old to appreciate these impressions. as of 2023, I believe Rich Little is still performing in Las Vegas so he's had to master impressions of characters a generation or two older than the ones he portrayed in 1985 and even those characters a generation or two earlier. I'm pretty sure he imitated Walter Brennan and Boris Karloff, stars of the 1930s, among others.
I'm probably an anomaly here. Im under 50 but grew up watching a lot of old Hollywood movies and TV as a kid and used to watch a lot of Rich's appearances on TV( including watching him co host the Children's Miracle Network Telethons ) so these references don't seem foreign to me.
Rich little really was the best. There’s other great impressionist but Rich little set the standard
Never been another like him. The king of the impressionists.
I agree 100%!!
Agree
he is still doing it in 2022
He is the greatest no doubt.
Respect And Cherish we don't have treasure like Rich Little Thanku 🥰❤👍🤣😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🤣🤣👍
I LOVE HIM,WHAT A WONDERFUL ENTERTAINER....💯🌺😍🔮❤
Rich Little has no equal. He nails everybody. Nixon probably my favorite. I would have liked to have more of him doing Paul Lynde. Also, I don't remember ever him doing one of the Kennedy boys? That should be pretty easy as all three of them sound the same!
Amazing
Wow hes good. Ottawa native!
Actually his brother is quite good too...not joking
When Riche does the impressions wow his voice he's perfect.no one could be like him..
His GREATEST
He was a really funny man....miss him....
Was???... Miss him???... he's still preforming... he just did a live act last week... in fact he might be going on tour.
He's not dead. He's still working.
Best Richard Nixon impersonation I’ve ever seen and heard.
😂😂😂😂
The best. ......👍👏
He sound just like Jimmy Carter🤣🤣
I can be really down and that man can make me laugh and cheer me up just love him
The very best ever !!!
No bite, that's why he survived so long.
Dammm..
No one can do this....
Jimmy Cater is killing me ❤😂😂😂😂
genius
Impersonators: there's Rich Little...a gap...then the rest
I remember when Levitch was removed from his position on the board of the MDA charity. Why was that?
I worked with him on the Telethon. A more arrogant person I have never met...
He does Jimmy Stewart better than Jimmy Stewart...amazing talent.
President Reagan loved Rich Little
We all love Reagan and Rich too 😂❤
been doing the same impersonations for 40 years. He's good at it though.
The JFK presidency very quickly produced the Vaughn Meader impressions and best selling First Family LP. Meanwhile in Ottawa Canada, DJ Rich Little was on the radio doing the voices of the two major party leaders trying to be Prime Minister. Conservative leader Diefenbaker had wobbly jowls and a head shake that empowered the jowls, a nasal opening to most remarks .. ahhh ahhh. Liberal Leader Lester Pearson had a sing song delivery with unexpected volume UPs, and exaggerated gravitas all undermined by a detectable lisp. Rich made up interactions for Ottawa radio listeners. He later used those two Cdn political voices for animated characters in US cartoons. ( Diefenbaker's tree planting in Ottawa with JFK re-injured his wartime back trouble. Pearson was the Cdn PM who got the LBJ "treatment " in spades when the Texan lifted Pearson up by his suitcoat lapels and bent him back.... on a balcony.)
who who who are the Martins?
And Ralph Carmichael leading the band????
Was that any good am not American, so I don't know
Good Morning, what is it that you don't know and where are you from? And what does it have to do with America? Just curios. Take care.
Did he try Trump?
Yes he does Trump
God, that was painful. Reagans impersonation was good
Rich Little made playing in safe, politically, so thorough that it reduced his comic range. At the WH Correspondents dinners he was boringly safe and the audience was cool. Behind the scenes I think he went right Republican upon his Americanization. My God Bobby Orr and Wayne Gretzky are MAGA. ughhhh
As great as Rich Little was in his day, Jay Pharoah, Frank Caliendo and Bill Hader far outshine Little for sheer accuracy in their impressions. It's better to do 15 or 20 dead on impressions than 100 ok ones.
Lets not forget Frank Gorshen (the riddler)
He’s not very good
He sounds like Rich Little in every impression he does. Endearing? Yes. A great impressionist? Absolutely not.
