RICH LITTLE'S A CHRISTMAS CAROL (CBC 1978) VERY RARE!!! HARD TO FIND!!! Rich Little

T'was the night before Christmas... And Rich Little is in the house! 

Get ready for a holiday classic with a hilarious twist in Rich Little’s A Christmas Carol, the beloved 1978 Canadian TV special that brings Charles Dickens’ timeless tale to life like you’ve never seen—or heard—before!

In this one-man show starring Rich Little, Ebenezer Scrooge (played by Rich as W.C. Fields) hates Christmas, and it’s up to the Ghosts of Christmas Past (played by Rich as Humphrey Bogart), Present (played by Rich as Columbo), and Future (played by Rich as Inspector Clouseau) to convince him otherwise.

Master impersonator Rich Little portrays nearly every character in the story through his uncanny impressions of Hollywood legends and pop culture icons. Paul Lynde, Richard Nixon, Groucho Marx, and others also make appearances in this wildly inventive retelling.

Little played the following celebrities: W. C. Fields as Ebenezer Scrooge, Paul Lynde as Bob Cratchit, Johnny Carson as Fred, Laurel and Hardy as the two solicitors, Richard Nixon as Jacob Marley, Humphrey Bogart as the Ghost of Christmas Past, Groucho Marx as Fezziwig, James Stewart as Dick Wilkins, Peter Falk as Columbo/the Ghost of Christmas Present, Jean Stapleton as Edith Bunker/Mrs. Cratchit, Truman Capote as Tiny Tim, Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau/the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, James Mason, George Burns and John Wayne as the three businessmen, and Jack Benny as a boy.

A playful parody that blends comedy with holiday cheer, Rich Little’s A Christmas Carol is a one-man tour de force that showcases Little’s remarkable talent and the enduring magic of Dickens’ moral fable. This rare gem is a must-have for fans of vintage television, classic comedy, and unique holiday traditions.
