Utterly accurate. Unbelievable how he can morph from one impression to another without batting an eye.
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.
Simply the best Rich Little is the GOAT of impressionists.
I was privileged to be his open act several times. Consistently good!
INCREDIBLY Talented Guy, I've watched all of his Work since I was a child.
Rich Little brings back memories of all those great famous voices . Made my day. Thanks Rich . Kindest regards, Mike Rogers
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.
When Riche does the impressions wow his voice he's perfect.no one could be like him..
Rich little really was the best. There’s other great impressionist but Rich little set the standard

He sound just like Jimmy Carter🤣🤣
The best. ......👍👏
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.
No bite, that's why he survived so long.
genius
Dammm.. No one can do this....
Jimmy Cater is killing me ❤😂😂😂😂
been doing the same impersonations for 40 years. He's good at it though.
I remember when Levitch was removed from his position on the board of the MDA charity. Why was that?

We all love Reagan and Rich too 😂❤
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.)
Was that any good am not American, so I don't know
And Ralph Carmichael leading the band????
Did he try Trump?

Yes he does Trump
God, that was painful. Reagans impersonation was good
He’s not very 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
He sounds like Rich Little in every impression he does. Endearing? Yes. A great impressionist? Absolutely not.
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.
