Master Impersonator & Comedian
U.S. Presidents: John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, both George Bushes...Rich Little has an impression of each of them. Infamous for his skewing of political figures, Little has charmed, amused, annoyed, and lampooned politicians from here to his native Canada.

He entertained at the Reagan inaugurals, and continues to impress audiences in Atlantic City, Las Vegas, Reno, Hawaii, Chicago, New York, and London.

A professed classic movie buff, he's particularly fond of doing Alan Ladd (his hero as a kid) and others who are no longer generally remembered, but Little has also latched on to Baby Boomer-friendly characters like Edith Bunker, Kermit the Frog, Robin Leach, and Dr. Ruth Westheimer, just to name a few. Some of his favourite current stars are Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Jack Nicholson, and Clint Eastwood.
A 12-time host of The Tonight Show, Little has also appeared on Ed Sullivan, Laugh-In, The John Davidson Summer Show, The Julie Andrews Show, Hollywood Squares, The Young and the Restless, Fantasy Island, Chips, Murder She Wrote, Hawaii Five-O, MacGyver, Police Woman, and Mannix.
Over the years, Little has been active with children's charities and he was co-host of the Canadian division of the Children's Miracle Network. He was inducted into the Miami Children's Hospital International Pediatrics Hall of Fame for his tireless efforts in fundraising on behalf of children.
Little was named "Comedy Star of the Year" by the American Guild of Variety Artists, and in 1998, Little added his star to the Canadian Walk of Fame to go along with his current star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
