The Three Stooges Scrapbook briefly mentions the RICH LITTLE SHOW; it incorrectly IDs the courtroom skit as part of Landon's episode.
A few episodes also feature Marx Brother skits, with Little as Groucho, Baker as Harpo, Brown as Chico, and series costar Charlotte Rae as Margaret Dumont. Rae appeared as Minnie Marx in productions of MINNIE'S BOYS on Broadway and road shows; one episode showcases her singing a solo from the musical, about Minnie's love for her sons.
Other episodes feature Little as W. C. Fields, and Little and Baker as Abbott & Costello.
The Stooges-related RICH LITTLE episodes are indexed in the
Film & TV Tribute filmography, with additional information and pics.
