  5. Comedian and celebrity impressionist. Among his many comic impressions have included fellow comedians (e.g., Johnny Carson and Robin Williams), movie stars (Jack Nicholson, Vincent Price, Sylvester Stallone, Jimmy Stewart and John Wayne), fictional TV characters (Big Bird and Edith Bunker) and every U.S. President since John F.

  8. Was cast by Orson Welles as the character Otterlake in his autobiographical film The Other Side of the Wind (2018), which co-starred Welles himself and fellow director-actor John Huston. Welles praised Little's acting, saying that impressionists seemed to make good actors. However, Little had to drop out of the movie since Welles improvisational style of filming, as well as layoffs caused by budgetary constraints, meant that the shooting schedule was not only unpredictable but practically interminable. When Little was unavailable for filming due to his honoring prior commitments, Welles replaced him with director Peter Bogdanovich, in whose house Welles was then living. The film was never completed during Welles' lifetime.
  9. Had the honor of hosting the 2007 White House Correspondents' Association Dinner on April 21, 2007.

ABC News anchorman Charles Gibson, former CBS News anchorman Bob Schieffer, and George Stephanopoulus of ABC News were among the members of the press attending the dinner, while the politicos in attendance included current and former New York Mayors Michael Bloomberg and Rudy Giuliani. The celebrities in attendance included Olympic figure skater Michelle Kwan, American Idol: The Search for a Superstar (2002) contestant Sanjaya Malakar, two-time Oscar winner Jane Fonda, and television stars Teri Hatcher, Bill Paxton and Larry David. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice also was in attendance. Schieffer lauded Little's Master of Ceremonies performance, commenting "I thought he was great. Generally old-fashioned kind of humor but funny.".
