He just popped up on Facebook for some reason.
I don't mean to be unnecessarily nasty, but...can you think of a less talented individual to ever become household-name-level famous?

Awful. Unpleasant to look at too. I know that sounds cruel but who the hell wants to turn on the telly and see fucking that?
Little and Large were so terrible that on occasions I've watched clips on Youtube just to soak it all in and ponder how people who had no talent, no humour, no skill and who were physically quite ugly ever made it so big. Did people simply have nothing else to watch? How can people be this deluded? if I was this crap I wouldn't leave the house and yet there they were ON THE TELLY. You have to admire their chutzpah. If I had an ounce of their delusional self-belief I'd be fucking PM. What a pair of cunts.

On the other hand, those times were nothing like the hyperstylised, perfect white teeth botox shite that you get for TV and presenters in this day and age.
Yes, they were massively untalented, but at least they were normal.

Both Hale and Pace were more talented than Syd Little!
I think I might prefer them as a double act too (although it's been ages since I saw anything).
There still hasn't been anyone put forward who's a serious rival in the 'how the fuck did THAT get famous?' stakes...

From more recent times, maybe Peter Kay's mate Paddy McGuinness comes closest.

I liked Hale and Pace as a kid.
Comedy on the telly was more working class back in the day which gave the likes of Little and Large a backdoor into the BBC. Millions watched them but then millions are below average intelligence too you know?

Watch that Live at the Apollo show and tell me some of the comedians on there are any funnier than Eddie Large.
