I could not do celebrity impressions very well. But I could COPY Rich Little doing impressions. So in school I would channel Rich Little and people thought I was pretty good. Always good for a few laughs.
My favorite (still works to this day) is Johnny Carson saying “my college girlfriend was called Miss Lincoln because everyone took a shot at her in the balcony.”
Rich Little will be the last of the impressionists.
A vocation killed off by lawyers who create trusts who hold the rights to a celebrity’s likeness in perpetuity.
I had no idea Rich Little was still alive.
