Rich Little is 85 years old in 2023 and has 52 upcoming performances in 2024, mostly Las Vegas. What a career!
Yes, I heard a recent interview with him talking about that.
Really amazing guy
@@Rob_Kates
My wife and I were fortunate enough to see him perform a few years ago in Niagara Falls. He is phenomenal
@@keneggleston5766 Is he still doing the old voices, like Richard Nixon and Jimmy Stewart or has he updated his act?
He was still doing the classics. Carson, John Wayne, George Burns. All the ones that we loved to hear. And apparently he is quite the artist too
Glad you put a little bit of Doc and the band doing their thing so well.
Is that a Smother Brother at the Piano,?...
(Seriously, Legitimate Question. I had to do like a double or triple take and I'm Still not sure...)
Looks like Tommy, but it isn’t.
I could tell he was doing Nixon just by the face he’s making in the thumbnail. Rich Little was great at the Nixon face.
And, you should see Rich do Nixon's walk, because it's hilarious and absolutely perfect!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What memories. I was 15 years old. 😊
The best impressionist ever! What an inspiration at 85!
LOVE Rich Little! Thanks for sharing ...
Brilliant. Sad to think how far we have sunk watching people of this calibre.
Could we please have the full show of this and others unloaded. I would love to see the studio commercials with Doc and Ed. Rich Little always perfected everyone he ever did. 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
From 50 years ago... Those were the days my friend :)
when the 'man cave' was the entire house!
Awesome stuff! 👏👍😎❤️
Excellent! You really have to be of this generation to appreciate all of these.
Wow i love getting new clips of Ritch little on johnny carson show. It's truly a tressure chest to see old cliips from the 1970s and still feels fresh and funny after all these years.
I ask 20 young people under the age of 30 if they knew who Johnny Carson was. Not one knew. So sad to me.
ya he's pretty much fallen out of the popular culture. It's like when I was a kid if you asked anyone my age who Jimmy Durante was not many would know - A-CHA-CHA-CHA! 😉
Well, all they care about now is the garbage pop culture that we have these days. It SO pales in comparison to what they could have if they just looked back like I did, or others did.
How would they? I'm 58 and the only reason I know of Olivia Rodrigo is because of my 18 year old kid.
@@jazzfan67 Oh you are so right about today’s culture! I don’t watch it, I don’t care about it, and I have no idea who Olivia is either. The only Olivia I know is Olivia Newton-John. Lol.
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
Love Rich seen him 12, times worth every dime
I think Nixon's walk is hilarious, and the audience thought so too!
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.
And for me too. Thanks
And that's how you do a Late Nite Talk Show😁👍🏻
Rich Little 85 years old and still going strong.... A true Canadian who became American to find huge Success.. Just like BILL SHATNER 🤩👍🏻👍🏻
Agree 💯 unlike today's leftist POS Jimmy Kimmel.
Full eps now😊
It's a shame they fell out with each other and never really spoke again this was a great episode. Rich killed that Christmas story
PLEASE DO NIXONS WALK, IT'S HILARIOUS !!!
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.
Are you watching Sir Anthony Hopkins?
That's how you do a Richard Nixon impression.
Good one, friend!
I guess Frank Langella was more a fan of Rich Little than Hopkins 😂
OMG LOL Great comment. That Nixon movie was ruined by picking Hopkins to play Nixon. He didnt even look like Nixon, he didnt have the presence of Nixon either. Casting him was one of the biggest folly's in movie history. Ruined what could have been a good movie.
@@gamernorcal
Hopkins is a Flat Tire, so to speak, & if you know what I mean.
They always pick people that have NO CLUE AND NO PERSONALITY, to be the ones to Judge what's good and what's bad !!!!
Wasn't little one of Carson's favorite guests?
*"favorite" 😉
Johnny felt like impressionists were making fun of him.
they had a feud in the mid 80s and never made up
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.
...my friends say I do an even better Nixon because I have the jowels for it.
They used to sneak dis Rich so much. Now he’s the last one standing from that era!!!
What do you mean by
"dis Rich?"
Cuz I don't get that.
I love the way he does Nixon. Although Johnny didn’t like the way he did Johnny lol. The audiences loved it, but Johnny himself didn’t like it and banned Rich Little in the early or mid 80s from coming onto the Tonight Show. 😞
Rich has always been funny as hell😂😂😂 ha ha ha ha , in his 80s he's still going strong
🇨🇦
Even back then, Rich Little's humor was a ghost of Christmas past.
Why did Rich and Johnny have a falling out feud at the end? I never got the full story behind that.
Its a shame there was a fallout between Rich and Johnny to keep him from appearing more often
Is that one half of the Smothers Brothers at the Piano ?. ... 🧐🧐🧐🧐🤔🤔🤔
No, that's Ross Tompkins, but I do see the similarity to Tommy Smothers
@szde 👍
Thank You. ! 🙏
Rich Little doesn't need guests.
NEVER reward a Republican with your vote.
How times change. What was not allowed to do or say in the past is allowed today. Obama did the same and worst by tapping/listening to foreign leaders' phones, and nothing happened to Obama, even when a world leader complained.
Which newer people is Rich doing in his shows since he’s still performing? @ 85?! That’s impressive in itself!! 👏👏👏🫶🏻✨⚡️💥🌟❤️
