  • August 4, 1975

Set in the era of the '70s, The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson showcased a plethora of comedic and diverse guests, from actors to musicians to iconic personalities. Johnny Carson's humor and charm made audiences look forward to each episode.

In season 13 episode 213, master impressionist Rich Little graced the stage, ready to put on a show for audiences. Like most of Johnny Carson's guests, Little had not only an impressive talent but also a great relationship with the host. As they sat comfortably on the couch, they began chatting about his love for doing impersonations and how he perfected his craft.

Little's impersonations were always spot on, from Richard Nixon to Paul Lynde to even Richard Burton. His uncanny ability to embody so many different characters always surprised audiences. In this episode, he brought out his impressions of Mohamad Ali, Casey Stengel, and Ronald Reagan, much to the amusement of the crowd.

As the show progressed, there were several different segments during which Little showed off his abilities. One of the highlights was a comedic bit where Little would perform impersonations based on random audience member suggestions. This added a level of unpredictability and fun to the show.

In another segment, Little and Carson played a biographical game in which Carson's job was to guess the name of the character Little was impersonating just by hearing snippets of their lives and background information. The game revealed the extent of Little's knowledge and skill in the field of impressions.

Musical performances were also a staple of The Tonight Show, and this episode featured performances by country singer Willie Nelson, the rock band Heart, and jazz pianist Ahmad Jamal.

There were also other comedic skits that had nothing to do with Little's impressions, such as the classic Carnac the Magnificent, where Johnny Carson played the psychic Carnac and read out funny answers to questions sealed in envelopes. They had everyone in stitches, including Little, who clearly enjoyed it.

Aside from Little's appearances, the episode maintained its cheerful and lively atmosphere with Carson's usual monologue and light-hearted banter with the audience members. The show was an entertaining mix of laughter, music, and impressions that left everyone in a good mood.

Overall, season 13 episode 213 of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson featuring Rich Little was an enjoyable watch. The combination of Little's exceptional talent, Carson's humor and charisma, and the lively audience made for an evening of unforgettable entertainment.
