    Rich Little is 85 years old in 2023 and has 52 upcoming performances in 2024, mostly Las Vegas. What a career!

He literally becomes the person, not just the voice. I would like to see more shows with Rich Little and any he guest hosted Thanks @Johnny Carson

    It seems weird to me because when I was a kid in the 70s, I knew of entertainers who were no longer in the public eye, such as Abbott & Costello, Red Skelton, Cary Grant, etc. But today's kids have no idea of anything beyond what is popular right now

    In high school my nickname was Belushi. I loved making people laugh, but what most people didn't realize it was often a lot of work. I did impressions too, however there's a lot more to doing that than just the voice. I'm so thankful that I discovered that making people laugh was way better than getting in fist fights, which I had done quite a lot of. When you get in fights and win, like I always did, you still lose. People wanting you to make them laugh is far better than them being scared of you. It was always a great show when Rich Little was on. It was the highlight of the week for me.

    Dear and respected editors of this video channel, it would be great if you could upload Belinda Carlisle's a full recording of her guest appearance on the show from 1988. where she performed two songs in addition to the interview. One of them is I GET WEAK and the other, if I'm not mistaken, is HEAVEN IS A PLACE ON EARTH. I hope you will want to please all of us who love her. Thank you in advance on behalf of myself and Belinda Carlisle fans. 🍺🍺 from Steve.

    I was watching the show once when Carson had Little on, and Litt was imitating Carson, and when he imitated Carson's laugh, he definitely appeared to exaggerate it. And I remember Carson commented in passing "I don't laugh like that". I don't remember which show that was, or how close to the ending of Little's appearances on the show were. Carson seemed to make light of it at the time, but looking back on it now, it possibly was the breaking point with him and Little. Carson was sensitive about many things, and it appears that being impersonated, even if mildly in a way offensive to him, was too much. Little's time on the show was abruptly over.
