Fantastic! You gotta love Rich Little -- some of the best impressions ever couple with the worst material ever. I just saw him a couple weeks ago and I took note of the voices he did:
Jack Benny, Dr. Phil, Johnny Carson, John Wayne, Gary Cooper, Walter Brennan, Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas, William Holden, Cary Grant, George C. Scott, Gregory Peck, James Mason, Henry Fonda, Katherine Hepburn, Inspector Clouseau, Jimmy Stewart, Paul Lynde, Clark Gable, Humphrey Bogart, Claude Raines, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Pierre Trudeau, George W. Bush, Richard Nixon, Neil Diamond, Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby, Louis Armstrong, Perry Como, Robert Goulet, Tom Jones, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra.
To break it down, that's 40 impressions, 30 of whom are dead.

William Holden! How would anybody in the audience know if it was accurate or not?
