Just saw him in vegas at Tropicana 5/2/2021. 82 yrs old and he’s still amazing. Wife cried cause he was so funny and she’s wanted to see his shows since the ‘70’s.
Paul Anka, Rich Little, Frank Welker…they beat everything what’s on today a hundred times or more. So much talent, class, its just incomprehensible why today there is only nonsense available. Name one artist or show today that will be watched 50 years from now!
We at www.imasportsphile.com responsible for posting this vintage video along with 2900 others.....consider the Rich Little department of our incredible comedy section to be "pure gold" in our treasure chest of memories.
@@rociosuastegui5673 Thank you so much for the info! This is priceless!,This was real comedy, something which seemed to disappear! Very sad! Keep me posted of things please!
I had the great pleasure to work with Rich, in the band. He was one of the classiest guys I'd ever worked for. But I never saw this side of him, giving other impressionists a platform. I'm way impressed! But in the oldest showbiz tradition, nobody better than him! Ha! But back then, there was nobody better.
We at ImaSportsphile are of the opinion that the world hasn't seen a talent quite like Rich Little since he left us.....so we are glad to have more than a handful of his videos in our comedy library on our webpage....along with 100s of other vintage comedy videos
Rich Little was the best of the best when it came to voice impersonation....as his impersonations were so spot on....the folks whom he was impersonating would often be upset that he was so spot on....like Johnny Carson, who absolutely would not allow him on his show once he saw him impersonate him.
@@PC4USE1 , we have been told that Carson was pissed off to the point of never letting him back on the show....because he was soooooo good at doing Carson.
Fred Little! Who'd of thunk that Rich had a brother who could do great impressions. Rich is still killing it today! He's on the Mike Huckabee Show here on RUclips just recently. Did a Joe Biden impression quite well.
His resume certainly supports your comment.....as we at ImaSportsphile are happy to have his work posted on our site.....for it is truly a "nugget of gold" in our treasure chest of memories.
anchorblazer, we at ImaSportsphile have 1800 vintage videos currently posted on our webpage that folks haven't seen in over 30 years....and we are in process of posting the remaining 7000 vintage videos.
Thanks a million! I believe this was from an HBO Rich Little Show. Please post some more if you have them. Also looking for a HBO burlesque show from the late 70's that feature a pirate ship. As well as an HBO show called The Vent Event. It is a ventriloquist show hosted by Steve Allen. Thanks!
anchorblazer, thanks for your comment....and you are most welcome....for within our 1900 vintage videos posted on our ImaSportsphile webpage has many many old HBO specials....to include STRIPPERS with host Gwen Virdon covering the history of burlesque.....and BLOCKHEADS, an awesome ventriloquist program hosted by Marianne Hartley....plus over 200 hours of vintage comedy.

Even in the audiences ,they r all genuine impersonates Thanku Mr Little Rich😂 and Paul Anka and all great artists, America is so lucky to have ❤These Gems💎💎💎👍😂
Frank Gorshin was mentioned, and he was also a great impressionist. But Frank developed a unique character on t.v., The Riddler, Batman's second greatest nemesis. Did Rich Little ever develop such a memorable character?
Yes, Frank Gorshin was a tremendous impressionist along with being a great actor. His creation of the Riddler for the 1960s Batman show earned him an Emmy nomination, which was the only Emmy nomination for the entire run of that series. Gorshin’s creation of the Cheronian Commissioner Bele from Star Trek’s “Let That Be Your Last Battlefeild” is considered one of the most memorable Star Trek aliens. Frank created very memorable characters. Usually over-the-top characters, but very good. Frank did the best Kirk Douglas impression of anyone. He had many other fantastic impressions of celebrities and politicians. RIP Frank.
Shadow Wolf, thanks for your comment....for after posting 1800 vintage videos like this one with Frank Welker....and being folks who love Scooby Doo cartoons....we have become big fans of Frank Welker - Fred Jones....and we were not even a "gleam in our daddy's eyes" when this Welker footage was recorded on sony betamax cassette.
I LOVED IT WHEN IMPRESSIONIST FRANK WELKER DID BILL COSBY THAT WAS REALLY REALLY FUNNY I TOTALLY GREW UP WITH BILL COSBY MY CHILDHOOD HERO WE HAD ABOUT 5 OF HIS COMEDY ALBUM'S WE USED TO PLAY ALL THE TIME GROWING UP IT'S JUST TO BAD WHAT'S HAPPENED TO HIM NOW.
1.10 I wonder if the teacher was self-ironic or didn't notice he was being imitated. If he couldn^'t hear it - or at least understood it from the laughing of the students.
Hi, I'm trying to find a specific show that Rich Little did in the 1980's. I don't remember exactly what year, I was a little kid at the time. But at the beginning he did a skit where there was like a game show with impressions of Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, and someone else. Ronald Regan dropped his note cards and got all the answers out of order! It was hilarious. I've been trying to find that show for years! Do you know which one it is?
I visited your channel. Sorry, but I could not care less about the sports stuff, American, Argentinean or Martian! But your American Classic TV Comedy downloads are pure Rhodium (more valuable than Gold) !!! I will enjoy them for a veeery looong time ... Thangs a 1000 000000!
Tordogor ACG, thank you so much for your comment.....as it ranks at the top of thousands of comments our vintage videos have received....for it speaks to the real purpose of our site....to pay respect to the awesome entertainers, artists and athletes of the Baby Boomer generation....while providing a history of their generation as seen through their comedy, music and sports....a history that is already too soon being forgotten....so, we recommend you bookmark our site and do not rely on utube for our content...cuz we use 100 different utube channels under different names as "video weigh stations" for the 2300 hrs. of content we will load over the next 5 - 6 years....as you are sure to miss some "nuggets of gold" from our treasure chest of content.
Art Schivel, thanks for your comment....for after posting various Rich Little and hundreds of vintage comedy videos on our website....Little was the best impressionist and impersonator of them all....as evidenced by the video where he does 100 different voice impressions in 3 minutes.
Hang in there Rich! I never though your impressions sounded even much like the people you were trying to imitate, and the jokes were flat, but you were a big deal when we didn't know any better and weren't as judgmental or sophisticated as we are now. But you are still going strong and that's great!
WHEN RICH LITTLE WENT OUT IN THE AUDIENCE TO LOOK FOR ANYONE THAT CAN DO IMPRESSION'S THAT COUPLE HE WENT TO HER MAE WEST WASN'T BAD BUT HIS WC FIELD'S WAS PATHETIC IT DIDN'T SOUND LIKE HIM AT ALL.
Wow, had never seen nor heard of Frank Welker before, or so I thought. A quick Google search tells me I've heard his voice for 49 of my 55 years on this planet! He's been the voice of Scooby Doo's Fred Jones ever since DAY ONE in 1969, and has done Scoob since '02! Of course, Rich Little has always been a favorite of mine. He is just such a talented performer, and master impersonator. The best!! I just caught the last segment of this video, and see that voice talent runs in the Little family. Fred is also excellent. A search for Fred produced little (no .. no pun intended) -- mainly voicework for a handful of late '70s-early '80s animated television movies that I've never heard of, most of which were narrated by brother Rich. Nepotism? Dave Lounder IMDb.me/DaLo TheDriveInGuys.com
i loved him in his young day's! seen recent clips his voices are losing grip on you! only way i can explain it! old voice would grip you into the person, it doesn't now!
Alive and well and still doing voices in major productions....as he was Megatron in the 2017 Transformers: The Last Knight movie.....so, if you haven't clicked on our website at ImaSportsphile....you need too....for we are sure you will find many great vintage videos worth watching in the 1900 we have currently posted on our site.

What an array of talent - with the top man Rich Little ever likeable and generous as host.
Now wasn’t this the best 20-25 minutes I’ve spent in ages!?! And brother Fred is absolutely amazing!!
Rich Little is the all-time greatest!!❤️
Absolutely
Frank Welker is the most talented voice-over artist of all time!
Paul Anka, Rich Little, Frank Welker…they beat everything what’s on today a hundred times or more. So much talent, class, its just incomprehensible why today there is only nonsense available. Name one artist or show today that will be watched 50 years from now!
Frank Welkers Bill Cosby impersonation & Archie & Edith Bunker is hilarious as hell. Spot on.
Because of Rich Little I've become an impersonator myself! Thank you for the inspiration Rich Reagan!
You're a comic genius Rich! Your Richard Nixon never grows old! It made me pee on myself decades ago, and it still does. You're a legend Rich!!!

Incredible talent !!!
I don't know where l was. It's the first time l'm hearing Frank .he's so funny so good.
These routines are so good!! Awesome, thank you
Rich is killing it as usual. Frank’s “Ali” is okay, but the best version of the champ was done by Billy Crystal.
Thank you for posting this. I had never seen it before, and I really enjoyed it.
There is so much more vintage comedy that you probably have never seen before....so click www.imasportsphile.com/category/comedy/

What!? When did he die! It mustn't have been too long ago.
You are correct....he is still with us....as he is turning 80 this coming year.
Rich Little is still as funny as ever...see him on TBN with Mike Huckabee...even did Donald Trump...we'll make Walmart pay for the wall.
Thanks I'm going to look for it.
3:35 Rich was the best Nixon impersonator ever!
Rich Little By Name Big In Talent by Nature
That was awesome!!
11:11 first time I've ever come across someone doing Archie and Edith Bunker and loved it, especially Edith is incredibly spot on.

Frank Welker wen't on to do do some memorable cartoon voices,as well....

Frank who?!!
Frank Welker is a legend. When he voiced the Scooby Doo skits for "Family Guy" I couldn't stop laughing
This guy is amazing 👏 The way he totally morphs into the person he is impersonating. I remember watching this guy when I was a little girl ages ago.
I love his Nixon.
The best Nixon impersonator I ever saw when I was a boy.
Wow Frank welker.
I didn't know Rich's brother Fred was also a very good impressionist of cartoon characters, wow!
I haven't seen this in over 30 years! AWESOME!!

I think Rich Little is the best in the world
It is really unfair to put any impressionist on the same stage with the great Rich Little. They all pale by comparison.
All Hail Megatron
Welker bad azz
The GOAT
Frank Welker sounds so much like Fred Jones. From the Scooby Doo cartoons. Come to think of it he is.
Shadow Wolf, thanks for your comment....for after posting 1800 vintage videos like this one with Frank Welker....and being folks who love Scooby Doo cartoons....we have become big fans of Frank Welker - Fred Jones....and we were not even a "gleam in our daddy's eyes" when this Welker footage was recorded on sony betamax cassette.
Fred's voice is Frank's real voice
two of the best that CANADA HAS EVER PRODUCED, THAT IS RIGHT THEY ARE CANADIANS .....RICH LITTLE AND PAUL ANKA.
...And Rush, Canada’s greatest export. RIP Neil Peart...
It seems like Fraank Welker is saying "Edith george"
Don't know....but did you enjoy the video?
For a treat go to RUclips and listen to Frank Welker do "The 12 Days of Christmas".
28:29 cookies!!!! 😂😂😂😂
(19:35) It's M.A.D. Cat from "Inspector Gadget!"
I LOVED IT WHEN IMPRESSIONIST FRANK WELKER DID BILL COSBY THAT WAS REALLY REALLY FUNNY I TOTALLY GREW UP WITH BILL COSBY MY CHILDHOOD HERO WE HAD ABOUT 5 OF HIS COMEDY ALBUM'S WE USED TO PLAY ALL THE TIME GROWING UP IT'S JUST TO BAD WHAT'S HAPPENED TO HIM NOW.
He did it to himself.

so this is the music Tom Cruise got it from.
