The headline reads ” Rich Little Says Today’s Celebs Are Tough to Imitate:
Rich Little says he’s perfected his impersonation of U.S. President Barack Obama, but admits it took him awhile to nail it.The Ottawa-born funnyman, in Toronto on Saturday to perform at a charity event, is known for his spot-on renderings of former U.S. presidents Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter.
Other U.S. commanders in chief, however, have presented a challenge.
“Gerald Ford was pretty tough. I finally got it but he was just on his way out,” said Little.
“Some presidents are just larger than life and they’re easy to do like Nixon and Jimmy Carter and Reagan. They’re very interesting, different people. Barack Obama, maybe George W. Bush and Gerald Ford are a little tougher.”
