I can think of another who was more famous. And more annoying.

Yeah he's annoying. Could be kind of handsome if he wasn't such a douche.

No, Frank Gorshin and John Byner were also impressionists, but they as actors and comedians showed more range.

He’s still alive and performing in Vegas. Who does he imitate now? Kirk Douglas?

So are we treating this man, who still draws breath, as if he were dead? I can deal with that.

Vaughn Meader became famous for his JFK impersonation. There's a famous story about Lenny Bruce doing his first set after the Kennedy assassination. Lenny came onstage, smoking and pacing. Then he looked directly into the audience and said "Vaugn Meader is fucked!".

Fuck no, of course he's not the only famous impressionist.

I just watched a Columbia short film called Sailors Holiday (1944) which is full of impersonators. The Cagney and Edward G. Robinson ones are especially good.

On the Kopykats, Rich did an impersonation of Fred MacMurray to guest host Fred MacMurray's face. It was brilliant and ballsy.
Sadly, no one does Fred MacMurray any more.

Who are all the super olds on here who keep putting down Rich Little? Can you explain to the rest of us why you puked?

David Frye was my favourite. His Nixon and William F. Buckley were great. He seems to be largely forgotten these days - I guess too many of his targets are now ancient history.
