Billionaire Ted = Rich Little?
Jeff Amdur
comedian-impressionist Rich Little is the person playing the role of
Billionaire Ted in the "Wrasslin' War Room" sketches. I'm not sure, but
it sure as hell sounds like Rich's classic Jimmy Stewart impression.
Does anyone else old enough to remember Rich Little when he was everywhere
on the tube know for sure whether that *is* him or not?

Oh, I see! Rich is good enough for KFC but not for the WWF! Hmmph!
Well anyway Rich only impersonates dead people.

1) the guy doesn't look remotely like Rich Little, 2) The guy isn't very
good, and Rich Little is one of the top stars of his field, and 3) Rich
Little would want FAR more money that would be practical for these little
skits.

As the poster of the original question, I feel vindicated, especially
after plenty of people told me I was mistaken and that "BTed" was clearly
Howard Finkel.

You know who else it looks like: Dick Van Dyke. He's been doing
some work for Nickolodeon doing Nick at Night promos. I haven't looked
closely at them, but Van Dyck looks a lot different than he did when
he made his series 35 years ago.
Besides didn't someone tell me that Nick was borrowing wrestlers
from WWF for bit spots. Lending Dick Van Dyke for this Billionaire
Ted campaign would be a fair trade.
