Infamous for his skewing of political figures, Little has charmed, amused, annoyed, and lampooned politicians, Little was "discovered" in the United States when his friend, singer Mel Torme, then on the musical team of CBS' The Judy Garland Show, asked him to make a tape. Garland thought it was "great" and Little was signed for the show. Appearances on TV variety shows starring Ed Sullivan, Jackie Gleason, Glen Campbell, and Dean Martin followed, as well as on such series as Laugh-In, The John Davidson Summer Show, and The Julie Andrews Show. Little had his own variety show in the 70's. He also was an early guest host on that TV staple, The Tonight Show, hosting 12 times and became a household name sitting in one of the Hollywood Squares. He was named "Comedy Star of the Year" by the American Guild of Variety Artists. The perpetrator of nine comedy albums and three HBO comedy specials, Rich Little's Christmas Carol with "W.C. Fields" as Scrooge, "Humphrey Bogart" as one of the ghosts and "Paul Lynde" as Bob Cratchit won an Emmy, among other awards. Little has appeared on the daytime soaps The Young and the Restless and Santa Barbara. In a GQ fashion spread, Little was pictured as Richard Nixon, Jack Nicholson, Cary Grant, George Burns, Ronald Reagan and Humphrey Bogart.

Originating from the North of England, Toni Morrell has achieved international recognition as a Singer-Comedienne-Entertainer and Voice Artist.
