Veteran comedian Rich Little was back in the United States after a Christmas visit to Turkey and Italy where he regaled troops in their 20s with his impressions of Frank Sinatra, John Wayne, Sammy Davis and other icons from the famed USO shows of the 1940s.

Each show ended with Little's version of "White Christmas" as made famous by Bing Crosby.

Little said he was not only impressed with the caliber of the men and women he entertained but also the fact that so many of them recognized the voices of stars who were contemporaries of past generations.

Little's repertoire also included some more up-to-date celebs such as Jack Nicholson, Bill Clinton, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Dr. Phil.
