Countdown to Christmas: Rich Little's Christmas Carol (1978)

 Impressionist Rich Little returned home to Canada to write and star in a virtual one-man show, Rich Little's Christmas Carol, a very loose adaptation of the Dickens classic. The supporting cast gets zero credit, while Rich uses the voices of W. C. Fields, Paul Lynde, Johnny Carson, Peter Falk, Humphrey Bogart, George Burns, Jack Benny, Jimmy Stewart, Jean Stapleton, and Laurel & Hardy, just to name a few, for many of the central characters.

This special would find its way to HBO here in the States a year later.


Awwww, that's funny! That's funny stuff!

Rating: A.
