Welcome to the Letterman TH-cam Channel, home to all your favorite clips from Late Night and Late Show - as well as conversations with the writers, producers and performers who helped make it all happen. These highlights have been artisanly-produced, carefully-curated, and chosen completely at random by an old computer that used to pick numbers for the New York Lotto back in the 90’s.
Chris Elliott is an under-appreciated comedic legend. Deadpan and odd AF, he is a true original.
Here's where he got it. Bob [Elliott] and Ray. th-cam.com/video/r8wB_nRRUD8/w-d-xo.html
@@JiveDadson i love how everyone on their show was named chet something or other
He is not under-appreciated. Every person that knows who he is appreciates him. No one under-appreciates him.
I love how Chris goes for the extra swig from the second bottle.
I always looked forward to those Chris Elliott appearances. Pure gold!
Bruce Willis was always great too
I remember watching that show , and cry laughed at Chris drinking the “oil ‘ 🤣🤣
Dave after Carson, those were the best nights.
Chris drinking the oil has been burned into my memory since the original airdate. Perfect punchline to that skit, too.
The best one is where he eats dog food to determine if they taste differently.
Same here. Still makes me laugh.
Chris Elliott is comedy gold.
Loved the Vienna Boys Choir joke and Chris is always good.
I'd like to see the Vienna boys choir 😂🤣😂🤣
So happy to see this! I remember watching this when I was a kid and I never forgot how nuts it was.
I love how the kids in the choir started cracking up
"we do a little M*A*S*H thing" lol.
Chris Elliot was frickin’ hilarious.
Lol Chris Elliot is the best! Thanks for the upload! Keep them coming! Want to see his Brando clips!
Cabin Boy!
The Guy Under the Stairs!
Chris hits it out of the park every goddamn time.
Chris does a similar skit with dog food. Hilarious.
Letterman was such an original.
Chris used to live under the basement I believe, I was watching Dave on daytime way before that. Chris is still one of my favorite B movie celebs!
I could watch Chris Elliott drinking oil all day
he moved the test tubes a bit that was a nice touch
It's amazing to me that Chris and Bob Elliott are father and son considering they're two of the funniest people in history.
just do what you do, Chris
--- Dave Letterman
Well...
I'd really like to see that bit when Dave called the Russian embassy on two separate nights, and by the second call, the guy who answered the phone seemed genuinely scared and he said to Dave @%#$& you!.
It was a hoot.
It opened all the pores in my body.
Very refreshing.
Though, I came here because of the oil 🛢
Dave may have lamented not getting The Tonight Show back in ancient times, but this will be remembered as one of the greatest programs in television. Honey baked ham.
This is my favorite Dave Letterman skit, especially the oil experiment.
God, that Vienna Boys' Choir joke absolutely kills me
My man Chris!
They restored this footage well!
Taking it from the original broadcast tape helps.
Good Lord, LMAO!!! I remember seeing this in the 80's!!! Hilarious!!!
3:12. Leon was hurt by the laughter. Poor guy. 😂
Paul at 6:16. “This is a swingin’ show.” 🤣
hurt? hurt, schmurt. Leon Schmirtz wasn’t hurt, he was besmirched
Isn't he one of them fancy lads from up on the hill?
Wanna buy a monkey?
Chris...you had a choice. Be confused/ baffled or completely delighted.
"'Someone insulted this kid's body.' That's it."
There's no way Leon Schmirtz @ 3:22 isn't Jonah Hill's dad.
God he drank a half bottle of each. his insides were like WTF.
New better-tasting Alpo! Chris was a complete original!
Look how young Paul Shaffer is!
Funny thing is even if the choir had sung in the original broadcast, the TH-cam clip would be the same due to music rights.
Thumbnail gives away a big punchline.
Apple juice
Apple juice.....................
Don't spoil the gags with the video thumbnails!
There was no oil in those bottles. Looks like white grape or apple juice.
eagle heart, watch it
More Chris Elliott!!!
More Chris Elliott
Mighty long walk but worth it.
Does that have the viscosity of those oils? Gatorade maybe?
38 years ago … we were all just kids.
R.I.P. Hiram Bullock
These bits were so random
I wonder if that was real oil
Yup.
1:55 No offense to her, but "she's a student". Wow the kids looked way older back then.
Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer. :) (Cholesterol is an animal fat. There’s no cholesterol in plants.)
It's kind of a trick question. Neither have cholesterol. Only animal oils would have cholesterol, plants can't make cholesterol.
I can't believe I was only 14 when I saw this. The oil. "No difference."
What happened to Chris? He dead?
Dude was in Schitt’s Creek for 6 seasons….you need to watch it.
What happened to your GED? Was it fake?
Give him time.
Worse. He's become an old, white, bald, irrelevant white guy.
if letterman being the massive attraction he was ever had a comedy partner it was elliott. those two in the same frame was television gold.
