Celebrity Comedians
Rich Little

He's one of the legends of comedy, no doubt about it. Famous for his skewing of political figures, Rich Little has charmed, amused, annoyed, and lampooned politicians from here to his native Canada. He entertained at the Reagan inaugurals and spent much of 2003 touring the United States with his show "The Presidents." A master mimic of over 200 voices, Little continues to impress in Atlantic City, Las Vegas, Reno, Hawaii, Chicago, New York, and London. While still in his early 20's, Little was "discovered" while auditioning for CBS' "The Judy Garland Show." Instead of the usual impressions, he did Fred MacMurray, Dana Andrews, James Mason and Van Heflin,"the kinds of people nobody did." Garland thought it was "great" and Little was signed for the show. Appearances on TV variety shows followed, as well as on such series as "Laugh-In," and "The Julie Andrews Show." Little had his own variety show in the 70's. He also was an early guest host on that TV staple, "The Tonight Show," hosting 12 times. He was named "Comedy Star of the Year" by the American Guild of Variety Artists. Little, who did nine comedy albums, appeared on HBO as Johnny Carson in the movie "The Late Shift." Rich Little is a major, major comedy legend.
