As I was perusing the internet this morning I came across a familiar face, Mike Huckabee... Okay so he is a Republican, but so what... LOL! He had on his show, Rich Little one of the most adept impersonators ever! I thought that you all might get a kick out of some of his impressions, so I give you Mike Huckabee and Rich Little!
Background:
"Richard Caruthers Little (born November 26, 1938) is a Canadian-American impressionist and voice actor. He has been nicknamed "The Man of a Thousand Voices".
Little was an usher at the Elgin Movie Theatre in Ottawa, where he would perfect his voices while standing at the back of the theatre. He started his amateur acting career at the Ottawa Little Theatre, winning his first acting award at the Eastern Ontario Drama Festival in Deep River, Ontario. At 17, he and friend and fellow impressionist Geoff Scott won a talent contest on 'on CBOT in Ottawa, the first time he was paid for his impressionist skills, which led to an appearance on Pick the Stars, a national talent contest broadcast by CBC Television in 1956. They then appeared on The Jackie Rae Show during the 1956-57 season.
One of his best-known impressions is of U.S. President Richard Nixon (reprising in 1991 the role of Nixon as ideal sperm donor in Gina's fantasies on the soap opera Santa Barbara). During the 1970s, Little made many television appearances portraying Nixon and once performed his impersonation in front of Nixon himself, who Little says did not realize he was imitating him at all and "wondered why I was talking to him in such a funny voice." In 2020, he developed a one-man show around the late president, titled "Trial on the Potomac- The Impeachment of Richard Nixon". based on the book The Real Watergate Scandal, Collusion, Conspiracy, and the Plot That Brought Nixon Down by Geoff Shepard, which alleged a conspiracy to remove Nixon from office."
