When Rich Little marks his return this week in a new residency at the Copa Room at the Tuscany Suites and Casino in Las Vegas, the entertainer will not be alone. As he’s done for decades, Little is bringing all his old friends—the 200 celebrities and presidents whom he impersonates—for support and most importantly, laughter.

“I’m retired, but I’m going to give it another shot,” Little told The Epoch Times in a recent interview.
