I loved this man when I was a kid and still do I have so much admiration and respect for him, He is last of the old school entertainers I could sit down for hours and listen to him. No ego just a true down to earth guy .

This was one of the best, if not the best interview I've ever seen with Mr. Rich. He is a living memory for hundreds of iconic stars and you brought out his whole life arc. Forgot to mention his albums. ❤ Rich Little on Broadway was my favorite.

Watching Rich I haven’t laughed this hard in years. Literally had me in tears especially doing John Wayne while getting US citizenship. And all those funny stories with the Hollywood legends.

@ThatsClassicTV 10 месяцев назад

This was one of my personal favorite interviews and as you can tell it was a laugh fest for me as well. What an incredible talent. Glad you experienced the same amount of laughter I did😂

Thanks Jeff, that means a lot to me. Rich is just an icon and a very funny talented one😀

@chirelle.alanalooney8609 2 месяца назад

Oh, and he is hilarious when he does Johnny Carson with all of his many idiosyncrasies, which in itself, absolutely kills me. He even did Johnny playing Tennis straight backed, which was also hilarious and a laugh riot !!! I swear we were all dying (or dieing, not sure of proper spelling) And that was hilarious as well too !!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I LOVE everything he does!!!! Rich is a Treasure to behold !!!!❤

Wow, Mr. Little is a human encyclopedia of old school showbiz! Love it!! I grew up with all those fantastic variety shows that he would be on, such a magical time. Mr. Little and his incredible talent has brought us all so much joy. He seems to be a humble, grateful, nice man. Another AMAZING interview!

@ThatsClassicTV 10 месяцев назад

When he said your a great audience I really got a kick out of it because you seemed to genuinely enjoy talking to him. And then at the very end I believe he said that was fun. To hear that must have made you feel very proud.

@ThatsClassicTV 7 месяцев назад

James, you are very intuitive. I was honored to talk to Rich, always was a fan. When I heard him say that was fun it really meant so much to me. I feel very fortunate when a moment like that happens.

Thanks for rewatching, I agree though, this is an episode you can rewatch anytime to be entertained by all of Rich's impressions. The man is really a one of a kind talent.

Wonderful interview so interesting . I was surprised Rich Little didn’t speak much about Don Rickles . Love the channel and I’m watching from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺

@ThatsClassicTV 6 месяцев назад

Love Oz, Brisbane, Byron Bay😀The interview with Rich was one of my favorites. Probably just didn’t talk about Don Rickles a lot just because there was so much to talk about😀

I think Richs' impression of Nixon is the funniest, and I saw him on Johnny Carson's T.V. Show, and he did Nixon's Walk, and it was hilarious! Watching him Clump Along Hunched Back, just funny as all get out, it was truly Wild, and I laughed like hell !!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I TRULY LOVE ❤ RICH !!

Hi, John! I'm from Indiana, and unfortunately we can't claim Jimmy Stewart as a fellow Hoosier. He's actually from a small town called Indiana, Pennsylvania. His dad ran a hardware store there, and I believe Jimmy let him display his Oscar for "The Philadelphia Story" in the store.

@ThatsClassicTV 2 года назад

I love that Jimmy let his Dad display his Oscar at the hardware store, just a great guy all round:)
