I imagine Richard Skipper must approach his embodiment of Carol Channing a bit differently than most successful female celebrity impersonators. When doing Barbra or Eartha or Ethel there are certain idiosyncrasies one can latch onto and exaggerate as punch lines. Channing, however, has always presented herself on stage as a sort of self-satire. To broaden up what is already such an extreme can easily slip into vulgar mockery.
