We need Johnny back. He is sorely missed. I haven’t seen a late shoe since he’s been gone. Well, maybe a couple of Letterman, but not the whole show. The rest of the guys are a waste of time. They have no charisma, which to them must be a social disease of some sort. Johnny was the best. He set a very high bar for others to reach. None have come close. If there is a heaven, I’m sure Johnny and Ed are still performing. I intend to catch all of their shows when I get there.

I'll never forget the time Rich Little hosted the show and did his impression of Johnny the entire night! He never once broke character. It was damned impressive from the greatest impressionist ever. I think his favorite character to do was Johnny. I also think Rich doing Johnny was Carson's least favorite character. It was because despite all of his success Johnny was still a little boy from Nebraska and a tiny bit insecure. It's why Johnny rarely sang, even though he was actually quite good at it.

I loved this man. When I was a kid, I stuttered, and one day discovered that doing impressions of people I knew, cartoon characters, whatever, curbed my stammer to the point where it was almost unnoticed. I'd tried all kinds of methods to control my speech, but emulating other vocal patterns was the only thing that worked well. Now I barely stutter at all. Thanks, Rich!

Rich Little is brilliant his ability to write and recite without a hiccup while impersonating is testament to this. Also shows how much of the Canadian culture is tied in the U.S. considering one of the best impersonators of U.S. actors and politicians was a guy from Ottawa Ontario.

Back then, a Canadian talent couldn't make a real living ,in that, the market is too small by itself, while right next door is the largest market. So usually all our great talents toured Canada and the states at the same time.

@christinamitchell67963 жыл бұрын
Yep I agree, and people keep saying Johnny hated when Rich little imitated him but you can tell that's not accurate. Johnny didn't like people really from my understanding, but when on TV you were funny, interesting or on point he honestly responded, no fakery or putting on airs. So I'm not convinced at all he disliked little, he literally giggles like a boy at this time you referenced and also when introducing him he respects him and says he envied his talent and humbled himself that little was the best at doing boghart.
