    This was one of the best, if not the best interview I've ever seen with Mr. Rich. He is a living memory for hundreds of iconic stars and you brought out his whole life arc. Forgot to mention his albums. ❤ Rich Little on Broadway was my favorite.

    When he said your a great audience I really got a kick out of it because you seemed to genuinely enjoy talking to him. And then at the very end I believe he said that was fun. To hear that must have made you feel very proud.

    Oh, and he is hilarious when he does Johnny
    Carson with all of his many idiosyncrasies, which in itself, absolutely kills me. He even did Johnny playing Tennis straight backed, which was also hilarious and a laugh riot !!! I swear we were all dying (or dieing, not sure of proper spelling)
    And that was hilarious as well too !!!

    Hi, John! I'm from Indiana, and unfortunately we can't claim Jimmy Stewart as a fellow Hoosier. He's actually from a small town called Indiana, Pennsylvania. His dad ran a hardware store there, and I believe Jimmy let him display his Oscar for "The Philadelphia Story" in the store.
