Rich Little's Best Impersonation!! #richlittle #comedy #impersonation

Rich Little sits down as Jimmy Stewart to explain why Stewart couldn't make it to the show. It's a neat little contradiction, and exactly the kind of routine that gives Mr Listify's new comedy countdown its character.

The clips channel's Short, "Rich Little's Best Impersonation!! #richlittle #comedy #impersonation", assembles footage of Little moving between television hosts, actors and presidents. It drew about 180,000 views in its first day, compared with the channel's usual 11,000 for Shorts.

As Johnny Carson, Little delivers a beach joke with an old-age punchline: "A dog grabbed me, thought I was an old bone and buried me." Elsewhere, the impersonations become as physical as they are vocal: Richard Nixon gets hunched shoulders and raised peace signs, while Jimmy Carter gets a wide grin in an American Express ad parody. These are Little's comedy performances, repackaged as a ranking, not appearances by the people he imitates.

The countdown doesn't reach its promised top spot: the excerpt ends with an impression labeled General George S. Patton. Alongside it, Mr Listify also has unusually fast-starting compilations featuring Robin Williams, Nikki Glaser and Family Feud.

Little's comment section supplies a different sort of list. Viewers recall his George Burns, Walter Matthau and Jack Benny voices, while one singles out his Jimmy Stewart impression and another remembers recordings made for answering machines.
