Wow. I'm really glad to have found this. I'm in my mid-30's and one of my heroes growing up was Rich Little. He inspired me to do voices and stand-up comedy. As for Jimmy Stewart...God broke the mold when He made Jimmy. A true gentleman and legend. When Jimmy passed the world set a record for bells chiming 'cause it knew an Angel had just gotten his wings.
my highest honor in life has been when in 1967 at the age of 16 i left my parents GENERAL N.AYROM and my mother behjat mortazavi a school principal for the united states of america for further education.i met my hero charles o finley the owner of oakland A'S and al davis owner of oakland raiders.GOD BLESS AMERICA.
this is what comedy is all about...Visor..you are correct! This era was so perfect, wholesome and nevertheless FUNNY! I wish we could continue this energy of these comedians. They must have had the best time of their lives. Rich Little is perfect. "That's good, that's good that's fine, it's fine." Pure genious.
I hate today's comedians. I was watching the William Shatner roast from 2006 the other day and one of the roasters, can't remember who, said the words 'f**k' and'p*ssy' 10 times or so in his speech. I mean come on, is that really necessary? Today's comedians are so offensive and rude they're not even funny. And they call it 'entertainment'.. Geez... I much prefer the old times comedians. The Dean Martin roasts are a gem.
Jimmy stewart throws rich impersonation right back at him. so quick! hilarious. I love how fast all of these guys were. didn't need a bunch of rehearsed dirty jokes, they could just make stuff up and be funny
I like a lot of today's comedians, but is has somewhat devolved since then. But back then you could dirty without explicit and still be funny like his joke about if a man OD's on viagra then how will you close his coffin. LMAO!
How wonderful this man is! I saw some pretty snarky comments about Rich on a previous page. Everybody is entitled to his or her opinion, but this man truly has a great talent. I hope he will be around for many more years.
So very true about what you have said. Most all of the comedians of today's generation think they have to use profanity in their jokes & do in the punch lines. Result--terrible-compared to this great stuff. Rich Little's talent is super great stuff & a masterpiece.
Thankfully my dad introduced me to great comedy like this.....all my generation has is those crap comedy central roasts
