About this clip

Rich Little & Charlie Callas Roast Betty White

Rich Little was a master impressionist famous for uncannily mimicking presidents, actors and television personalities, often turning voices themselves into punch lines. Charlie Callas was a rubber-faced comedian known for wild vocal sound effects, physical comedy and frequent appearances on television variety and roast programs.

In this clip, Rich Little turns that contrast into roast material, teasing Charlie Callas with the affectionate exaggeration and show-business one-upmanship that defined the format.
